Default RE: Newbie to seaplanes

GTCWAY;

Are you surrounded by fresh water or salt water? Salt is 100 times worse. You miight want to stick with a Tower trainer 40 for a while. There are other really cheap high wing planes the guys here are using.. Falcon Trading Company floats or Super Flying Models floats (Hobby Horizon) are easy to put on. The Seamaster sits pretty low in the water, but the trainer is prettier and just as aerobatic in the air... FWI, sometimes I fly from a sandy beach with skiis. Lots of fun..
