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 several annual inspections and scores of repairs and improvements to enhance safety and performance. 

Furthermore, in July, 2014 the airplane made a round trip to Oshkosh, KOSH, for AirVenture sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association, EAA annual fly-in.  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 G-900X and Grand Rapids HX flat panels delivering position, flight instrumentation, weather, engine monitoring, and autopilot controls. N71RJ includes a TruTrak two-axis autopilot and a Garmin SL30 Nav/Comm radio for a total of two dual-channel communication and navigation systems to compliment the three GPS navigation systems. This virtually guarantees failsafe Com/Nav IFR flight capabilities. It is unsurpassed. 

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 then existing record by 27 MPH. This Super Seawind amphibious airplane is designed and built to break several world records such as rate-of-climb (2500+ FPM), altitude, take-off and landing distance, endurance and speed.
