Default RE: Sig Sealane sponsons

I built a Sealane a couple of years ago. It was originally made with the unusual Sig floats, but when one got damaged (the nylon bolts did not break) I made my own. They are foam covered in 1/16 balsa with a ply pylon. They work very well. The fuselage bottom forward of the step has trailing edge stock glued along the chine. The idea was to give more lift and send less splash up over the model. It works but there is still a lot of spray for 2-3 seconds on take off.[img][/img]
