CG Retired, I plan on using the deflectors, but I have one currently on my trainer, and it does not seem to do much.

Dorsal/Gorish,
What is RTV silicone? Is it like high temp gasket material for engines?

In the future I had thought about putting floats on this plane and flying off of the lake in my backyard, Currently my skill level is not quite there as I am only about 5 flights in with my trainer.
