One of my favorite seaplanes back in the day was a Bridi Windsurfer, in large part because the two piece wing / wing rod design was very amenable to plugging in pretty much any wing I wanted to build for it, and the all flying stabilizer allowed me to easily accommodate a wide range of airfoils with different pitching moments.

I built several wings with different planforms, spans and airfoils for it, optimized for different conditions from aerobatics and slope soaring with straight wings and ailerons, to polyhedral wings for 2 channel thermaling in high wind ballasted, and in no wind unballasted conditions.

I may have to build another one...

Hi guys!

Does anyone have any updates with regard to other Power Systems?

The Turnigy GliderDrive seems really nice but, was wondering if anyone else has any other options?

Thanks!
