The sleek Sablatnig SF.2 seaplane was of conventional construction, with a radio transmitter fitted. It was used for reconnaissance and coastal patrol. [2] Six were built by Sablatnig and ten each by L.F.G. Roland and L.V.G.. In the late part of their service lifetime, they were used as trainers.[1][3]
