Default RE: Seamaster Mods

I had a blast with my seamaster. In fact I want to get another, it was one of the best and funnest planes I ever had.

I converted mine to separate aileron servos. If you have no covering this is the time to do it. Also I would recommend glassing the center section of the wing. I used 3/4!QUOT! triangle stock glued in at the joint of the horiz and vert stab. Not much else done to have a great flying bird. I did eventually do some other things like build a trussed and sheeted vert stab. That too all the flex out and while at that I trussed and sheated a larger rudder. I had the only Seamaster that would knife edge all the way across the lake.

As far as the off set on the tip floats, I left the just as they were. Saw no reason to change the incidence and never had a problem.

Good luck and happy flying. BTW be sure to land that plane with a little speed. If you come in to slow the like to bounce. Fast approach and set it down let the water be the brake.
