Hello,I have known about this community for about 10 months and have been waiting until I have time to get into this stuff. I will be a Junior in the fall at the University of Michigan as an electrical engineer and just finished this semester.I got into RC aircraft about a year ago when I got a Belt CP helicopter. In November I also got a Slow Stick to get into fixed wing. Right now I am looking at the Twinstar II and Easy Star and am looking for any input regarding these platforms. I live on a small lake, and whichever I choose I plan to build into a seaplane. Is it feasible to have a water-based AP/UAV platform, or am I just wasting my time with this idea? I have several LIPOs so I will definitely go brushless right away. The main reason I am looking at the Twinstar is its very large surface area and it seems to have a large fuselage for gear. Once I get the new platform up and ready for the water, I will probably start working with the Ardupilot. I am also open to any other airframe suggestions that would be good for water.It has been interesting watching all the developments here over the past months.Thanks,Ryan
