fasinating video and fixating music . You could not have done a mix any better. Where in the world is this place, my guess is Canada. I have this beaver , unbuilt at the moment along with the float kit. I hope it turns out as stunning as yours. Hope you have many hours of pleasure from it. Many regards, Graeme. ( Scotland)

@sierraxr4icosie Thanks Graeme, from Scotland, a truly wonderful place( my mother's a MacDougall). You are correct, I'm on the west coast of Canada, in British Columbia. I'm afraid I can't take credit for any of the video, except the flying, my friend did the video and chose the sound track. I didn't use the fiberglass float kit , I made my own out of foam, sheeted with balsa and covered with Ulracoat iron on covering. They weigh 640gr. Keep the plane light, and it'll fly great. Cheers.

You will not be disappointed, it is truly a joy to fly. Keep it light, I used hs-81 servos and foam core floats, fiberglass ones are too heavy. Check your wings and make sure they have enough wash-out . Just keep it light and it will fly great. Cheers. Calven.

Great lookking plane at a beautiful spot and nice scale flying too! I have about 6 planes now including edf's and I am just realizing that the most fun I've had flying is on floats on my first plane (HZ Supercub) This one is just the ticket and I'm ordering it. Thanks for the vid

Wonderfu scale flight beautiful local. My friend has one of these i helped him set it up and flew it for him. He has the e-flight 25 3s flightpower 3350 the 60 amp esc

and the micro servos. It is a great flying plane i just wished his radio had variable settings for the flaps.

Congratulation! I am very impressed....It is wonderful and what a good timing with the music. In fact, this is my favorite music since I was 16 years old....so I was sold since the biginning!

Really fine work.
