Engine Selection

Engine choices for the SEALANE are many. The SEALANE has been designed to produce excellent performance when using
the recommended engine sizes. Do not use an engine larger than recommended.

2-stroke engines are a perfect choice to power your SEALANE. Any plain-bearing or
bearing equipped .40 to .45 sport engine would be a good choice. For example, a
great choice would be the Irvine .40 engine. Like all Irvine engines, the .40 is
powerful, reliable, and quiet. Whatever engine you choose, take the time to carefully
break it in according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A good running, reliable
engine is a minimum requirement for the enjoyment of this or any R/C model aircraft.

The SEALANE can also use a variety of 4-stroke engines. Any 4-stroke engine in
the .40 - .50 displacement range should provide plenty of power. An important thing to
remember is that typical 4-stroke engines have their throttle arms usually located
differently than throttle arms on 2-stroke engines. If you want to power this model with
a 4-stroke engine, you will likely have to install a new, relocated throttle cable tube. While this is not difficult, it is something to
consider when choosing an engine.

Covering Material And Waterproofing

Your SEALANE has been designed to be completely covered with any of the popular plastic iron on covering materials on the
market. These covering materials are waterproof and by carefully overlapping the seams approximately 3/32", your SEALANE
will be almost waterproof.

The only place on the model where water can enter the fuselage is at the joint where the wing attaches. Our prototype models
were made with relatively tight fitting wings, with no additional sealing, and very little water was able to enter the fuselage.
