BMJ-B-313 The Splash-E designed by Harry Stewart is a
relatively small (44" span), light (13-15 oz), electric powered,
"wire-braced" flying boat. It is designed specifically around the
inexpensive MGK motor, but is adaptable to most speed 280 size power plants. The
distinction between a float plane and a seaplane is; a float plane is just a
conventional land plane adapted to fly off water by the addition on floats; a
seaplane is really a boat that has been adapted to fly. You will learn that
seaplanes can handle higher wind and bigger waves and spend much less time
upside down in the water. Even so, the best time to fly the Splash-E is in light
to no wind conditions. And a very real advantage of electric power for flying
off water is that after landing, there is usually
enough power to taxi back to shore.
