Default RE: Seamaster type plane

ORIGINAL: lmcp

As far as flight is concerned, I have not found a better sport and acrobatic flyer than the "Sea Cruiser", which is no longer in production, but the plans came with the kit and can be used to reproduce the plane. I have built and flown about 4 Sea Dancers and find it has too many quirks and I managed to crash them all. My Sea Master (.46) flies well, but not a very exciting acrobat. Sea Cruiser has to be built with the triple rudder to be the best sea plane I own. I have built three of them now, and so far two of them have proven to be excellent. Either a 90 or 120 size would be great, but remember transporting.
I understand the Seacruiser is a good plane but don't see the Seadancer as quirky. What is it that you find quirky? I've flown mine extensively since shortly after the design came out without experiencing anything that would particularly lead to crashing. On quick recall I can think of at least ten different ones that have been flown locally with no one finding it quirky. Maybe you got a quirky plan?
