Thanks Dennis, yes I am fortunate to still be able to fly some Ukie occasionally thanks to a twenty foot concrete pilot circle we poured at our club several years ago for my wheelchair, just had my throttled Magician out yesterday for some flights

The Gee Bee floats while not my favorite can work. They are not what was included in the orginal kit. The Stream Floats were a molded two part plastic affair which had durability problems but even more important they were shaped and sized more like floats that were typical of many Schneider racers of that era which included a streamlined stern that tapered to pointed stern. This made those floats somewhat tricky on the water.

On the water my buds red one has the orginal floats and larger 36 inch Goldbergs are what I have, they work much better and speeds are similar. Both have 61's mines an OS 61FX.

It was Kitted by Stream Inc. in the mid seventies and is not a kit bash of anything but was intended to be good flying genaric sort of stand wayoff airplane to represent the best of the famous Schneiders such as the Supermarines, Macchi Castoldi's and Bristols among others.

Its a very cool attention getter enjoy[8D]

Added a couple of pics of the two Schneider Sports at the London Bridge in flight but unfortunately I have no high quality pics.
