Here's a way to make a real "puddle jumper". It takes off best with a slight headwind, move the wing forward for the most lift. Flies really well, has mixed performance on landing and take off from water. If the plane gets wet, it needs to dry off before the next flight.

  • Awesome videos. Really cool! I used balsa model planes, the problem is that they are not steady... They tilt and plunges to the ground. Anyways, your vids of different balsa planes are awesome!

  • These balsa planes are SO tempermental. Watch the form of the wing, stabilizer and rudder surfaces. If they're straight (flat as possible), start from there. (the wings can always have a little arc (with the top of the arc at the top of the wing). Hand launch a plane without winding it to get it to glide. be patient. Adjust it. THEN wind it up...when you release the plane, send it slightly DOWN from level. This will allow it to climb without stalling. Hope this helps. Mark

  • @WhiskerLoL I use both SAE and metric! Find a simple conversion program on the internet. Or, use a calculator: 1"=25.4mm

  • how do you build the plane

  • did u make this air plane or did u bye it.????

  • for land and sea take off and landing cut a small compartment into the foam and put wheels so they show only about 1/4 of the full wheel.
