seamaster twin, finally!
"Without having the engines mounted high on pods, won't the props be too close to the water?"
Doh! LOL
I was thinking that myself. Infact I just read a funny thing about the Sea Master the other day in a 10 year old magazine.
Hmmm looking at it you'd think that the pod is two short also. I think it may work as long as he uses small props on small engines. Let us know how she handles on the water!

Twin Seamaster
Hello Nun45 ------ Here is my version of a twin Seamaster . It is powered by two Super Tiger 40's and has plenty of power . I think your model is way overpowered . All will be told on it's first flight . Good luck , smooth landings , Merry Christmas .

Twin Seamaster
Hi Wingspan99 ---- I built the twin fuse Seamaster from scratch from a standard Seamaster plan . The wing is in three pieces . The center section spans both fuses and is doweled at the leading edge and bolted near the trailing edge . The right and left wings are piloted into the center section and bolted . The tail assembly is permanent . The center section of the wing is not removed unless access to the fuses is necessary . It is powered by twin Super Tiger 40's and the engine cowlings are made from shampoo bottles . The throttle servos and fuel tanks are directly behind each engine and are also covered by shampoo bottles . It tracks very well on the water and gets airborn much like a standard Seamaster . It has one drawback , it will tip stall if the landing speed gets too slow . I may add flaps to try to correct this . I think flaps would look good on it anyway . The engines give it a lot of power , more than it needs . I am pleased with it's looks and flyability . It does turn a few heads . Thanks for the comments -- Happy New Year . [email protected]
