Do you have any pics of the bracing? This one already has flying wires attached to the horiz stab, but I think they are more to brace the horiz not the vertical. I had a sport plane on floats. I loved flying that off both water and snow. I'm looking forward to putting this in the pond this summer. I'm also impressed with the removable landing gear. I've seen movies of this taking off from grass without the gear (I think this was done by MinnFlyer), but the wheels should work great for our paved runway. Does anyone have experience with the OS 46 SF? I am wondering what a good starting point is for the low speed needle valve. When I got this plane, both high and low speed valve were completely closed (I'm guessing this was done for storage?). It runs great, but it seems to hesitate a bit from idle. It doesn't smoke when it does transition, so I'm guessing the low speed is still a bit lean.
