Well money was spent last weekend at the LHS. A brand new Seawind and an OS91 FX was purchased. Now just need to get building.

I have enjoyed reading the posts so far on the plane. I just finished looking up the specs on a Saito 100 rather than a OS91 FX. The Saito 100 is approx 3.5 oz lighter and would actually sound better than the 2stroker on the Seawind. I believe its time to upgrade the engine. The -3.5 oz of weight doesnt seem like much, but that equals a lot less nose weight to balance the nose. Planning to fly just off water.

I am interested to hear from other pilots how they have powered their Seawinds? How much lead weight was added if any? what size prop used, 2 blade or 3 blade? What type of aftermarket muffler if used? I personally will cringe to put the 10inch long stock muffler on my OS91 FX. If I stayed with the 91 2stroke, wonder if a Pitts muffler would be suitable or any other type more scale than the stock muffler?
