As long as you are an accomplished flyer, the EP version of the Seawind is a great way to get started.

I reviewed this plane for RCU Magazine last summer and it has become one of my favorite planes.

Unlike the big nitro powered Seawind, the EP version is very easy to get on and off the water with. And it flies GREAT!

The only thing to watch for is to make sure you waterproof the wing and cockpit area. You don't want to get that ESC wet!

One of the really nice things about it is that you can fly it off of grass until you get the feel for it and trim it out, then take it to the lake, pond, or whatever water you have.

Here's a link o my review. Be sure to check out the video
