Re: Used Seaplane Rail System??

Jim, check Craig's List, have seen them for sale there before. DH docks in Nisswa Mn might be able to give you a lead on a used system, they have been good to work with in the past for rail parts/questions. Suggestion: get one with a braking system, or buy the braking system (they are an add-on accessory) to prevent possible runaway problems which can happen with the heavier planes (experienced it) and if the used system does not have stainless cable, buy some before you install the system. A remote control is a nice addition. I have two rail systems which I dearly love. Set one up right and it should be relatively trouble free.
