Canadair CL-415 - The "Spreckels Bombardier"

A misty flight on Spreckels Lake in Golden Gate Park, as seen from the tail of the model Canadair CL-415 now dubbed "The Spreckels Bombardier." I've wondered for a long time what it must look like taking off and landing from the water, and today I found out it looks Awesome!
S.F.P.D. thought it looked pretty cool, too! They rolled by afterwards and gave me a thumbs up and a nod.
Here's what I ordered from Hobby King:
2x #L2205-1350/14739 Turnigy L2205-1350 Brushless Motor (100w) = $19.84
1x #CL-415-KIT/16548 CL-415 Canadair 1390mm (ARF) = $40.30
8x #TG9e/9549 Turnigy TG9e 9g / 1.5kg / 0.10sec Eco Micro Servo = $15.60
2x #TR_P30A/2164 TURNIGY Plush 30amp Speed Controller = $23.08
The kit does not come with motor mounts. I ordered these from Heads Up RC, and they work well:
2 Plastic Mounting Stick with 1.5 inch base plate @ $1.75 = $3.50

Love your choice of music! You never hear his stuff anywhere! Pretty cool seeing you go through the fog on the water! How do you like the plane? I am going to buy one for a float ly that we will be having in a couple months...

@gooniac33 Thanks! Ulrich Schnauss's Knuddelmaus is a great vibe for this kind of flying. I love this plane... I posted the parts list in the Description for you. I have some other notes, I'll send along. I'd love to come to your next float-fly and meet some of you guys!

Some notes... The instruction manual sucks, of course. The wing strut clevises that come with the kit need to be reinforced with zip ties and a drop of hot glue - as they can pop off in mid flight, otherwise. Also, I recommend extending the leads from the motors in the nacelles to the fuse, where the ESCs are best kept dry. The system runs well with a 2200mAh 3s battery, but will take a 2650mAh 4s comfortably.
