Keith,
Glad you enjoyed the sites. Matt has been all electric for at least 5 yrs now. The largest one of his was a Senior Telemaster - flew great but became too big for his newer vehicles. I have been flying for 4.5 yrs and used electric from day one but also glow and rubber. I am moving to all electric by next year and sold off three glow planes so far this summer and only have the Nexstar on floats left. My Seamaster will be the largest electric for me presently. I do a have a Page 80" Supercub ready for covering.
I installed my new motor on the Seamaster today and now get enough power to do justice to the plane. Hopefully, it will fly Sunday. I didn't get as much power as I expected with a 13x8.5 prop but more than enough. I intend to do some bench testing later with these Rimfire motors to determine what is the issue. May just be wiring, ESC but I will find out.
There are a lot of videos/photos of float flying on the KVMA site -
www.modelaviators.org - and a few on my own site -
www.maineflyer.net. I maintain both of these sites. Most photos/videos are either Matt's or mine as we both enjoy photography as well.
As far as the Taylorcraft goes, one of our guys has one and there is a great video of it on the KVMA site. Wonderful flyer on floats!
Joe
Update: Two very successful flights on Sunday, 9-14. Great seaplane! [8D]
