Here she is, all done and after the first flight. She's wicked fast, a real Schneider Cup contender.

The plans show the float steps behind the CG, which is how I built it, and of course it wouldn't get up on plane. Moved em about 3/4" forward and that took care of that. Then the OS 10 had about enough power to turn it into a very weird looking power boat. Out came the 10, in went the Magnum 15, and wow, does it go. Very glad I made it orange, cause it gets far away in a hurry. Water handling and the touchdown were really smooth. Next takeoff should be, too, now that I have the trims.

Can't wait to slow it down and play with it a little. Great fun flyer, as it fits in the back of my Malibu without taking it apart. It takes about 10 seconds to install 2 oz of fuel, and away we go. The Mag 15 is one of the easiest starting engines I've ever owned.
