He is actually very good at aerobatics and has been flying for 12 years (including his full scale license in a Cessna 172). He flys a Kadet Senior with floats and Super Tigre F .51, and a Great Plains Trainer 40 with an OS .46 Because we live on a lake, our most convenient flying field is right out our front door. (He lives in Boston and only flys when he comes home to visit.) We have been thinking of adding floats to the Trainer 40.

Because of our shared hobbie a local resident on the lake gave us this Sea Master which belonged to his now deceased grandfather. He nevedr flew it, but it has taken a beating being stored. Our question is whether to spend a lot of time rehabing the SeaMaster, just getting a bigger engine for it, or adding floats to the Trainer 40. The larger size is very appealing over thelake as it always draws a croud. Recently we have experimented with adding a video camera under neath and filming the flights.
