wow dave...you sure come up with them.....curiouser and curiouser ...nice....

[Dave T]

Thanks I came across it while looking for something else, Its a nice model but tricky to trim and quick in pitch and roll or at least it is on my pc and the way I have my controls set up.

Good looking flying boat Dave

Even has an autopilot...

[Dave T]

And a GPS/Nav switch.

[yancovitch]

nice dave.....yea it is a bit wild...hmmmm...seems like such a small engine?

[Dave T]

According to the manual its a 915 Rotax engine which is rated at 135hp.

[Dave T]

After looking on Rotax website and progressive aerodyne Searey website it looks like the manual might be wrong, the 915 is turbocharged and on the real aircraft the turbos can be clearly seen near the flaps and is also fuel injected. The engine in the sim looks like it has carbs and is more like the 912 Rotax engine that is rated at 100hp.

Very nice set of shots Dave, little planes like that seem to bring aviation to the masses tantalisingly close. My own favourite is the Sea Bee.



Cheers
