G'day All,
Iv'e always been fascinated with the Seawind Amphibian. Sleek hull and unusual engine mounting configuration.
Would this particular design lend itself to reproduction in a two place configuration?. Are there any problems that stand out with this particular layout from a design and construction angle that I can't see that may be obvious to others.
Going by other discussions relating to wing and tail placement I notice the wing is fairly close to the horizontal stabilizer (by comparison to other designs.....Osprey...Mermaid etc) which could possibly cause some pitching instability.
May be some food for thought.

Cheers

Skyrider
