Building and flying the world’s fastest single-engine amphibious airplane is fun and challenging.17000 feet Join with me on this thrilling journey to lofty levels of aviation today. To get you in the seat we’ll begin with a nineteen minute excursion provided by a link to the kit maker Seawind North America at YouTube promoting their never realized dream of producing and selling an FAA certified Seawind. Take a ride on the Seawind and go places you never dreamed of – yet. The Seawinds you’ll see here are Lycoming 300 HP gas engines – not my PT6 turbine 550 HP. My airplane has much higher actual performance stats than the standard Lycoming engines deliver – which is in itself extraordinary.

Standard Lycoming Engines Deliver
My Super Seawind build project began with a kit I purchased and later received in October, 2000. Twelve years later, in June 2012, I finished the local flying requirements and flew it 1,250 miles home with the late test pilot Jack Ardyno. Since then, my airplane has undergone two annual inspections and scores of repairs and improvements to enhance safety and performance. In July, 2014 the airplane made a round trip to Oshkosh, KOSH, for AirVenture by the Experimental Aircraft Association, EAA annual fly-in. With tens of thousands in attendance, it is the world’s largest aviation event. My super Seawind is powered by a PT6A-20, 550 horsepower turbine (jet) engine. It includes a G900 and Grand Rapids HX flat panels delivering position, flight instrumentation, weather, and engine monitoring. My airplane also has a Tru-Trak two-axis autopilot and an SL30 Nav/Comm radio for a total of four communication and navigation radios to compliment the three GPS navigation systems. In the video section you can see a flight to Maine the second time I broke the world speed record for a single-engine amphibious airplane where I achieved 182 knots (209 MPH) exceeding the existing record by 27 MPH. My airplane is designed and built to break several world records such as altitude, range, and climb rate (over 2500 FPM).
