RE: Can Anyone Identify this Seaplane?
Looks like an ACE /THunder Tiger Seamaster with a REALLY great covering job.
Available whererver r/c planes are sold. Last info I had was available only as a .40 ARF.
Previously had been kitted as a .40 and a 1.20 size.

Can not say for sure but looks a lot like a scratch built plane, I have the drawings in DXF format. The wingtip floats and tail are very similuar to the drawings. The drawings are available for download at. http://plans.rcmodell.hu/

Plane is clearly a Seamaster Sport 40/ Which some one else is kitting under a different name and a different color scheem I believe they call it a Neptune/ ( I have one of those as well/ I have had 5 seamasters, 2 scratch built & 3 ARF's Flys Great on a 46 2 cycle, 70 4-cycle/ You don't need anything larger. Handles great in both water & air, There are numerious posts here on seamasters/ I have seen the "NEPTUNE " on E-bay for $199.00/ Same prise as the Seamaster/ Seamaster can be bought on line for 180, including freight at several sights in RCM. Also flys great off snow! Good Flying GhostPilot.PS I Neptune that I have is a ARC witha Fiberglass Hull/ T tail & Foam core wings/ Flys great but very hard to take off the water.

Well, I placed an order yesterday for the Thunder Tiger Seamaster and I'm really looking forward to it. I live in a heavily wooded area where there is no room to fly a standard size plane and the closest flying field is many miles away. I live next to a 100 acre private lake which will be perfect for this sea plane. Now I can get back into the game!

Nope. Wouldn't do that, however, the lake will provide more than enough area. It's the size of several football fields.

Just got my Thunder Tiger / Ace Seamaster today. It looks great! Well packed and the wing is prebuilt to it's full length. It will be nice not to have to join the wing halves together. I've heard that it's the best sea plane for the money. I plan on putting a .60 size motor on it. (I like to think that I can get out of trouble just as fast as I get into it!)

Hey! I finally found the Neptune. It's made by power line models and is sold for $179.99 through Quick Teck Hobby. Take a look if your interested. I love the paint scheme. Too bad I already purchased the seamaster. Oh well, I'll just have to save up the cash and have TWO of them![sm=lol.gif]

Very strong construction !!!!!
I can do the same with my tiny 30'' span 1/2a... I grab something with my hands (not on the picture ), and voila !

RE: Can Anyone Identify this Seaplane?
I've got a Seamaster with a Mecoa 46 on it. Plenty of power,and it will knife edge .
Watch the spins though. First spin started several mistakes high by a very good rc pilot and still a friend, had him appoligizing for splashing my plane in. It went back
together and has flown since on wheels and off the water.
Slo it down it handles like a trainer. open it up and the games begin
good luck
