No other R/C seaplane looks or flies like the sleek and stylish Seawind! This sport-scale replica of
the classic homebuilt amphibious aircraft will draw envious looks from fellow modelers, whether
you're at the flying field or the local lake. By substituting optional retracts for the included fixed
landing gear, you'll have total access to land AND water with the same plane!

---Constructed with the finest materials — quality wood, gel-coated fiberglass and Top Flite® MonoKote®
covering.
---Shaped like a speedboat's hull, the fuselage maintains straight tracking while enabling the Seawind to
accelerate quickly onto the step for takeoff.
---A self-draining auto bailer is located on the bottom of the fuse, assuring that no water pools in the radio
compartment.
---A foam stand is included for holding the model securely during assembly and starting; it also keeps the
water rudder up off of the ground.
With its low number of parts, the
Seawind ARF requires only 15-18
hours of final assembly. The
fuselage and wingtips are
gel-coated fiberglass; the built-up
wing and tail section are made of
balsa and covered in MonoKote.
The unique boom-mounted engine
design not only enhances the
model's looks, it also reduces the
likelihood of water "spray" reaching
the engine during takeoff and
landing. A 3-bladed aluminum
spinner is included.
The fiberglass wingtips offer
excellent stability in the air, and
double as floats to support the
plane while in the water. Because
it has no bulky suspended floats,
the Seawind flies faster than
typical seaplanes.
For transportation convenience, the wing
simply plugs into an aluminum joiner and is
secured with nylon bolts that require no tools.
