I just scored a NIB SeaMaster kit.
I searched and didn't find much info on the kit, lots on the ARF. Have any of you out there built one of these? I'm curious about mods and weak points and such.
Thanks!

It's a pretty solid kit. However, I would re-inforce the pod area.

Where the pod mounts to the fuse or the pod in general?

where it mounts to the fuselage. Sometime if not a perfect landing the pod will work loose then the prop may strike the top of the fuselage. Ask me how I know. BTW I am a Grand Blanc Boy.

Okay, thank for the tip. I'm a Brighton boy, but I've been in Fenton for the last 10 yrs.

I'm now in the Hillsdale MI area for the past 25 years. Fly with the Balsa Butchers R/C club.

It would be a good idea to reinforce where the rudder goes into the fuse.

Good luck

Good on ya,,I have built several. An still have one, its been reinforced at the pod ,also i added one bay to the wing at the tip, it helped the flight a bit. its a really great flier with a 50 sayto 4st. i have seen them fly with as little as a 40 2st. We as a club (20 years ago) 6 of them, they all flew great..We glassed an painted the fuse, an used iron on for the rest. also you should think about putting a servo up front , maybe even 2 just to help with the slight tail heavy. with the new micro serves i would put one in the pod to operate the throttle.
If you would like some pics of mine i would be happy to send them e-mail or burn a disc for you.
