Thanks, I will try the chine rails. I think this will help solve the problem. I think I also need some sort of deflector on the deck in front of the prop like those on small wet sailboats (sunfish n laser). This is a really small plane and it doesn't take much of a wake to put water over the bow.

I made a couple of flights yesterday on calmer water. The .15 is enough power to get it off the calm water. It, however, still plows throught the water. I think if I do the chine rails right it will help lift it out of the water under power and keep water out of the prop.

The engine seemed to run fine yesterday with power throughout the entire loop. I must have had it too lean or something before.

I did split S, immelman, and some inverted flight. Rolls are slow and require some down elevator correction. Wind was about 10-15 but coming from the shore so the lake was calm on my side of the lake. At half throttle and 10 mph wind the plane is a very easy flyer. When the winds started to reach 15 and gust, I had to add 3/4-full power and the plane was a little twichy when hit by gusts. I think it would have been even more twichy if I had built in all the dihedral they said to in the plans. I built in 1/2 what it called for.

The plane is a little on the small side to see. My plane is white with a flourescent red tail and wing. If it were not for the flourescent red, I might not be able to fly it.

Your plane is really great looking.

Thanks again.
