The first flights of my SeaRey LSX, with the Rotax 914 Turbo, that made it the “Top Fun” amphibian it is today occurred in May 2012. It’s so much fun, it’s barely legal. The previous articles in Kitplanes about SeaReys are all true. My plane was first completed with a Viking 110 engine, but initial flights were not to my satisfaction, so I begrudgingly sold my nearly completed RV-12 kit and purchased a 914, which made a dramatic difference in the SeaRey’s performance. With help from several guys at the factory and close friends, I now have my dream plane.
