Leaving in two hours...I'm kind of nervous, I had to do some final adjustments to the floats on the Gamma and now it looks a tad bit sketchy. Oh well... too late now ;)

To the test...

I will be going on a trip up to Pine top AZ were there are LOTS of lakes. Time to put the water bug and my homemade floats to the test! Stay tuned, the maiden flight will be captured on camera...even if I crash....

Gearing up for... Winter???

 I thought that I would post these pictures of a recent float mod I did to my GAMMA 370. floats can be used on water (duh) but are also useful on snow and as skids on grass (please hand-launch...please!!!).

 Notice how I didn't remove the wheels? I carved a little hunk out of the float and stabilized the wheels by zip tying them.

 zip tie stabilizer before mentioned

cool huh?

LOST!

Dang dang dang...Ten minutes after opening the package from Hobby King... I lost the micro ESC...arghhhh!!!

Quick post:

The parts finally came! Look for the water bug flight video soon...

Here's the Water Bug. This plane took only four hours max to design and build. Plans might take a while to be posted because THE RA-51 MUST BE FINISHED!!!!!(notice the THREE floats on the bottom? they're made of insulation from Lowes...)

WATER BUG!!!

Alright guys....next plane......as soon as the parts for the RA-51 come in and I do a flight review, I'm going to release the Water Bug. The water bug is a float plane that has an EXTREMELY flat profile so that you can keep it in the trunk of your car for whenever you have an urge to fly. This plane can fly off water and land (by hand launching) with its durable float/skids. I hope your all as excited as I am!

Hey guys.....I was just thinking.....what about a float plane?

What now?

Any thoughts on what plane to make next?

Hey guys!
I just ordered the parts necessary to finish the RA-51 today! Hobby King can sometimes take a while to ship their things so it may be a while before the flight video. The grand total came out to only $35! Foam board rocks!

Some difficulties...

The next profile warbird will have to be put out late due to difficulties finding parts. But, there is a bright side to this however: I will have the build video up by this Wednesday! the video will take you from pen on paper design to the finished project (without electronics). So...stay tuned for the plans and the flight video!

I never was good at keeping secrets...

hmmm.....I wonder......

Here comes......

Stay tuned: The first series is going to be.....drumroll......profile warbirds! The first plane comes out this Wednesday! Can you guess what it will be?
