Description: I will be embarking on a (hopefully) fun journey to Montana in the Super
Petrel Wednesday! If any Seareyers are between Orlando and Montana, let me
know! I'd love to stop in. I'm a Searey guy, but I do think the world of this
little airplane. It's pretty fun, and a good cross country machine (relatively).
anyways, if you're on the way, let me know!

    If you click on the photo, it should be right side up. I don't know how to fix it.

    Nope, still glued to the ceiling.

iPhone? Two helps:

    I'm working on some enhancements so you can turn your photo the correct way. Should be sometime in October.

    What is this like while step taxiing Daniel ? Have you done any reasonably fast slalom turns ? Is it any worse than getting a sponson in
our SRs ?

    It's surprisingly pretty docile. When the hull is on top of the water there is Plenty of clearance. It doesn't need nearly as much cross
control and because of the hull design, it can turn much sharper in my opinion.

    It would be interesting to see a side-by-side comparison. Using aggressive techniques and new ailerons the SR can turn with any seaplane. Maybe we should set up some head-to-head fun-tests.

    If you get weathered in somewhere, Daniel, how about posting a comparison between the Super Petrel and the Searey. I'm especially interested in what it feels like to fly the Super P--and what the view is like from the pilot's seat. The Seamax I sat in at SNF seemed always to be in my line of sight. And how practical the S.P. is for docking--not that Searey is great for docking. How does its slightly shorter hull take rough water? Do you notice all those wings in flight? And how does the high aspect ratio of the two wings compare with the Searey's one fat wing for takeoff and landing? Can it do gear-down water landings without any excitement? Typical cruise speed. Doors v. sliding canopies. Etc.

    Such a posting would be excellent..... on the technical site!     
  
Don Maxwell - Sep 29,2015   Viewers  | Reply
    Ah. Yes, of course, on the technical site. Thanks, Dan. Forgot where I was.

    I know what you mean, Don....with all these sites we now need an Internet Positioning System to keep track!

    Lets do all that at my Fly-in when all the gang is in attendance to watch. We can do some Viking
comparison too.

    Sorry I missed your post Daniel. I have a friend in Lafayette TN who has a Searey and wud be happy to put you up. Lafayette
is just north of Nashville. Beautiful place. Nice people. If you happen to check this site, give me a call. My friend needs to meet

    Darn, I would have stopped by...I'm stuck in Miles City, MT.

    Sounds like a great place to be stuck. Enjoy that adventure and post some pictures.
