Default RE: Great Planes Seawind

Hi John,

As you are probably aware,I won this months ARF at the clubs raffle...which I very quickly traded in for the Seawind over at Rob's!

What a beautiful plane,although,when I opened the box & unpacked it all,I discovered that the canopy somehow
came loose in the box & got all cracked up. GP is sending me a new canopy next week (hopefully).

I bought an OS .61fx for it a few months ago...which is how long we all have been waiting for this ARF...sometimes
I think the longer we have to wait for a new project...the more we appreciate it when it arrives!

I was in the process of putting a U-Can-Do together when I got the Seawind....so as soon as I get it done,I'll get the Seawind on the table & get to work...I'll keep you posted!

I'm using a .61 on it as I have a feeling that this plane is going to be a bit on the tail heavy side...they are requiring you use high torque micro servos in the tail area...a very good indication that its tail heavy. Its not suppose to be a speed monster,so as long as the .61 flies it comfortably...I'll try it.

Later,
Kurt
