Wow Jim,

Thanks for the reply. I think I'm a little intimidated / discouraged now.

Initially I was planning to fly from a freshwater pond/lake I have behind my home but I knew deep down if I did outfit the plane wih floats, I'd be going to the beach with it. I planed to remove the electronics and spray the inside with Thompson water seal, baggie the radio (not the battery) but I never thought about the switch, clevisies, hinges, servos, motor, etc. Doesn't the fuel act as a lubricator / protector for the engine? WD40 is a great protector for small electrical components, will something like that work?

I'm really having second thoughts now.

Thanks,

KMAN
