RC Beaver out of the box.MP4

Slipstream de Havilland Beaver out of the box look. This rc airplane has a 87" wingspan and is 62" long. I am putting a 30cc DLE gas engine in it with an AR7010 receiver and Hitec servos. Couldn't find any video on a Slipstream beaver so I started with it out of the box.

Had to cut 2" off the landing gear and bend it again, original gear way too high looked terrible.

Good model so far, but it didnt come with instructions. I downloaded instructions from Great Hobbies but they are pretty much useless. It tells you to install vertical stab, rudder and tail wheel first but if you do this you cant install the horizontal stab and elevator. Thanks to Rc Canada for informing me of this before it was too late.

Great looking model !! Lots of places to put cameras and it's big enough too.

@eclipser2004 Thanks i'm hoping it will be a smooth flying plane for that reason. They say you can get an hour out of a 14oz tank of gas with the DLE 20cc, that will be quite the distance following it in boat.
