Thurston Teal

摘要

For many years I've been a seaplane fanatic. I have always been on the lookout for a good looking or unusual design. About fifteen years ago I came across a magazine article describing a prototype seaplane called the Teal designed by Mr. David B. Thurston. I really liked the design so I decided to build an 86-inch wingspan scale model of it for an OS .90 four-stroke engine. Recently, while surfing the internet, I found a few sites with the information on the full size Thurston Teal designs. One of the sites is "Steinar's Hangar". On this site you can read about Mr. Thurston's career in the aircraft industry and the number of seaplane designs he created.
