I have made up a few sets of laser cut ribs for the Sea Cat now. No one has tried to install any ailerons on the wings, for the dihedral angle is just too great.

Was mention in a few older M.A.N. magazines that the actual model will not R.O.W. no matter how much it is tried. Untill it gets overpowered, it then lifts off, and then immediately zooms up into the ionosphere. (Like I found) That water is like a magnet for it. It lands and floats just fine though.

One magazine in the 1960's mentioned an Itallian firm was making the same kit, but calling it a Sea Tiger. That one had R.E.M. (no ailerons) and, would R.O.W. properly. I haven't seen one of these ever, so know little about it, other than it was popular in the 1960's and popular to obtain plans and modify Berkeley Sea Cat's into them.

The Sea Cat? Well, it has a lot of basic blocks of balsa in the kit box.
