Just ordered this plane yesterday. Been flying a HZ Super Cub on floats, which is fun and very relaxing, but it definitely lacks in the "sport" department. It also doesn't taxi very well as slow speeds, and the floats grab at higher speeds if you're not careful, and the result is an unwanted and abrubt sharp turn.

The Seawind should be a better plane all the way around. I'll try to grab some video during the maiden flight. I won't get the plane until late this week, so I'm not likely to have any video before the weekend.

Definately let us know how it flys. It uses the same rimfire motor my Fokker DR1 uses and that flys like POS so looking into that and the silhouette to put the electrics into and not even try to fly the fokker anymore.
