Anyone know where I can get a Seamaster type plane in kit form. Building an ARF doesn't look exciting enough for me.

There is one currently for sale on ebay. It is in the ARF section but listed as a kit.

You want a seaplane like the Seamaster, but don't just want to pour glue into an arf box, shake it, and have an airplane fall out?

How about Plans-building an A-Hoy? It's a Chuck Cunningham design published in RCM probably 12-13 years ago. Seamasters are 40- or 1.20 size: the A-HOY is a .60 size plane.

there is a kit for sale in the kits for sale section.

Check out a Balsa USA Laker. Almost the same plane, but lots cheaper. They made it look like garbage with their color scheme. I looked at one with nice paint and it is a good looking plane. I have 2

I really love the flat bottom ofthe seamaster. It allows it to do the coolest "Skipping turns" as you taxi back to shore.

I DON'T like the flat bottom of the Seamaster. It's almost impossible to make a landing without a "skip". I'm scratch-building a plane with a v-bottom to cushion the landings a bit. Also, the slides that a Seamaster does are real cute until you hook a wingtip float. Then it gets real messy.
