Great Planes Seawind .60-.91 ARF - GPMA1360 - Manual (Page 4)

If you would prefer to set the Seawind ARF up with
flaperons, a 7-channel radio will be required.
The recommended engine size range for the Seawind ARF is
.60 cu in [10cc] two-stroke, .70 – .91 cu in [11.5 – 15cc] four-
stroke. Because of the limited clearance between the engine
and fuselage, a 3-bladed propeller is required. A 3-bladed
spinner is included in the kit.
The Seawind ARF can be built three ways. If it will be flown off
of water, no landing gear is required. If the Seawind ARF will be
flown from land, it comes with fixed landing gear. The third
option is to install retracts.The Robart retracts (ROBQ1622) are
recommended. Along with the retracts you will need the
#188VRX Complete Standard Air Kit (ROBQ2307) and #190
Air Line Quick Disconnect (ROBQ2395). All three options are
covered in the instruction manual.
This is the list of hardware and accessories required to finish the
Seawind ARF. Order numbers are provided in parentheses.

• When you see the term test fit in the instructions, it
means that you should first position the part on the
assembly without using any glue, then slightly modify or
custom fit the part as necessary for the best fit.
• Whenever the term glue is written you should rely upon
your experience to decide what type of glue to use. When a
specific type of adhesive works best for that step, the
instructions will make a recommendation.
• Whenever just epoxy is specified you may use either
30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy or 6-minute epoxy. When
30-minute epoxy is specified it is highly recommended that
you use only 30-minute (or 45-minute) epoxy, because you
will need the working time and/or the additional strength.
