RE: Best Seaplane?
I was lucky enough to get hold of a Seacruiser II .40 sized kit...I have wanted this seaplane since seeing several of them fly and handle on the water...just love the looks also.
Anyway, I think the Seamaster and Seamonster would have been first and second choices if the SCII could not have been had.
The Seamasters I have seen fly are very good performers at a much more than fair price...you could do alot worse. I have seen a Seamaster fly in the skokie Lagoons, converted to electric and recovered with a very sharp not so scale military theme...it looked sweet and no real loud 2 stroke noise to bother the picnickers.
