Flyzone Scale Seawind Amphibious seaplane

Frank - that looks great!  Are you planning to do some winter flying too?

[Candu]

Yes, when ever weather permits. I've been out a few times already and also managed to maiden my scratch build twin engine cargo plane before the deep freeze. Spring is coming soon, I hope.

The first day of spring - The meaning of Vernal Equinox, has long been celebrated as a time of new beginnings and rebirth.  And so, I decided to remaiden my Seawind today.  The flight went well and thank you Felix and Loi for helping out. 

I look forward upcoming float flying event.

First float fly for me in 2016. Wind was calm. Beautiful sunset.  Perfect for first water flight.

First flight bumpy take off and landing. Thank you Bruce for helping me trimming the plane. On landing, unlike the Apprentice or the Tidewater, it bounce (like the HK skipper) and end up collide onto Gerry's Tide water. No damage for both plane. 

Second flight it didn't goes well. Bounce number of time and end up dive into the water. Thank you Rob for helping me retrieving my Seawind. Water filled the fuselage. 

Thank you for the advise from Rob, Glenn and Bill - lesson learnt. (Full up elevator while take off on Seawind)
