Darrell Watts' de Havilland DHC-3 Otter scale model with 11' wingspan on floats. Beautiful plane! Crashes at the end, but an easy rebuild. A call to Fiberglass Specialties for a new cowl and a tube of epoxy.
Also we had to check out my other two favorite planes!
Noticed he got really slow at 1:09 and again at 1:15 but the wind at 1:15 was in his favour. When he got slow at 1:26 the wind was at his back and the stall came before the airspeed picked up after the turn. That's how we all learn I guess.

I got the exact same crash with my SIG 1/6 cub. In my case the CG was to far aft and also went into a spin in a turn. Currently rebuilding...

Starts to get a bit slow around 1:07 I think. Real slow at 1:18-1:20

Slow speed + high bank turn + crosswind (+ pilot) = Stall and spin... (Dead)

@virtualbush I agree. Half the fun of RC is building (and fixing)

nice plane, can't believe that's an 'easy' rebuild though, she hit the water pretty fast! Post more vids of her flying again!

If you aint crashing, you aint flying RC. Nice model, sorry mishap. Tip Stall at 1/2 mistake high, try 1+ for slow maneuvers next time.
Nice vid!
