Aircraft flys well but requires constant attention and updating of ones flying skills. It is a beautiful aircraft and makes me proud everytime I look at it. Unfortunately, I have to sell it due to health problems.

Tight engine nacelle-wiring and tubing routing through airframe is difficult to get just right. Stalls at 65 - 70 mph, a little high for water. Very much a rudder airplane. Tight cockpit if you're long in the torso. But lots of fun!

Any comment would be accepted. Is there something I should know? Can this plane be scaled slightly larger? And what about flaps?
