Super Seawind Saga Movie
Super Seawind Saga Movie-This first movie is an introduction to my Super Seawind story. It compliments my blog posts over the past five years. For the very first time, I’m sharing my amazing story with a wide audience of never before seen photos and videos of building and flying my Super Seawind. For me, it’s been a time of reflection and research. Reflections of the many great people, builders, owners and non-owners I have met flying my turbine-powered airplane, the wonderful experiences I’ve enjoyed and the treasured friendships I hold to this day.
Furthermore, my research revealed many details from how I scraped barely enough cash together to purchase the kit and continued to fund it, to deciding what options to add on for labor and parts, and where and how I would transform this kit to a flying seaplane. It’s an exciting story put together in ten weekly episodes (that may vary somewhat with time) starting with this introductory movie “My Super Seawind Saga”. Here’s my planned index as of May 24, 2020:
- What did the building the Space Shuttle and my Super Seawind have in common?
- Composite secrets revealed. Carbon cowling is a first.
- Selecting and fitting the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-20 power plant to an amphibian airframe.
- Integrating brains into 1RJ for a safer flight experience; its amazing avionics suite!
- Airworthiness readiness. Getting the certifications required for flight and flying off the mandatory time. Who needs an airport?
- Test flights to home flight. 1001 nautical miles and 180 knots True Air Speed
- Fixes and improvements since and game-changing record keeping.
- Memorable flights and 1RJ world records

INVITATION
So, I invite you to buckle up and join me on a twenty-year journey from concept to creation of the world’s fastest and highest-flying single-engine amphibious airplane ever made and flown. Watch 1RJ take off and then climb at over 2,000 feet per minute. Listen to the jet engine scream through cloud layers to lofty Denali summit levels no gas-powered airplane can touch. Here, we’ll also fly over weather high above the clouds and watch as the ETA clock wind down with a cruise true airspeed levels at over 200 MPH. Pop on the autopilot and relax. This smart plane will fly you anywhere.
Also fly to small airports to visit family and friends or go to your cabin on a lake far away from noise and crowds. Land in lakes where there’s only wilderness and no roads. With N71JR, you won’t need roads and you won’t have to drive endless hours to get there. To learn more about performance, click here: https://superseawind.com/performance/
