  • real nice plane ,awesome flying,perfect landing ,not bad on the camera either.take care and happy flying

  • Thanks! That was actually my 1st flight off water... Easier than I thought it would be. It is a very stable airplane so that sure helps.

  • Hey that is really nice, could you tell me please what kind of floats are those..???

  • The floats are included in the kit as well as a set of undercarriage if you want to fly from land.. I think I'll keep this model as a sea plane. I believe it is a Falcon kit which was manufactured in Italy.

  • Very nice. I was wondering if you needed some power on when you went to land. Looks like it would come in with no problem with a dead engine.

  • This plane glides forever. In fact, I had to make 2 go arounds to figure out how to slow it down. It's rated for a .46 but it has a SuperTigre .75 up front and it is a little nose heavy. I have since added weight to the tail and the elevator trim is now at zero.

  • Really nice

  • Very nice flying. R/C floatplanes are the best! Check out my channel, I have a scatchbuilt midwing design that uses a single float down the middle of the fuselage, with small outrigger floats on the wings. It looks very cool and flies very fast for a seaplane.

  • Great flight. Is this the plane you have for sale? How many times has it been flown since then?

  • sweet...nice fying..

  • Can that airplane cover peter frampton too?

  • Great plane and flying - thanks for sharing. How did you cut the engine at the end? Is the water rudder fix or will it lift under pressure?
