I just flew an EZ- Splash ( Stingray on floats) man what a pleasure to fly. I went on a houseboating trip and took three planes to fly, Lanier Mariner, Falcon Trading Cessna 177, and an EZ Splash. I flew all three and fell in love with the Splash. Right from takeoff the thing tracked so well and flew so light, I never even noticed I had floats on the plane. Rolls were smooth, loops were large and perfect, snaps, spins, inverted were all very good and clean. I had a Saito 91 with an APC 13 X 8 on it just like the other two planes I took with me. I will try a 12 X 8 or 9 next time I go float flying, but what a sweet setup. By far this was the best float plane I have had so far. As for the Lanier Mariner, good plane and flys well, would make a good backup plane to take. The Falcon Trading Cessna 177, what a dog. Heavy, high stall speed and does not come out of a spin very well. Leave this one behind, in fact I will probably sell this one as soon as I can.
