Put it in as the fokker d8. I will try making that on floats, from the ft storch. going on vacation soon for now, and building an rc boat for it, so there will be no progress in the storch until around june 8th or so.

Have fun on vacation and let us know how the boat comes out.

thanks. it is mostlyy built. I took an old toy set that I had that used plastic screws and foam pieces and a wind up motor, it barely ever worked, and I just smacked supports on it and an a pack motor and in the back an 1800 2s. should have long working times, but still fast, planning to place the reciever in a balloon. This esc has more than surpassed splash test though. any ideas on a rudder with a 9g servo? I only have 9gs now. posting pic right after this.

Here is the boat. Tips on the rudder pls.

the prop is facing forward. the prrop is a 6 inch. btw. just a size comparison. rudder is the only thingg I have left except for placement of reciever and esc, and how to keep both of the above waterproof. please help with those, and i do nto like the epoxy method as you need to take apart the esc and I do nto watn to do that.

Ok here we go again. Everybody stop reading my mind right now! I've had my eye on that Sea Vixen for a while now. Funny how that happens.

Although, the sea vixen is a carrier based airplane not a seaplane so I don't know if the rules allow it

Oh I'm not in the game. But @Test Fly RC might need to add floats!

I guess U can add retractable skids like the Sea Dart. Why not? I am doing and amphibian version of the Sea Master and that one does not exist. Which I hope to have all the fuse formers drawn up by tonight.

The Sea Vixen that I made before, It's been a long time but i'm pretty sure it could float on water!

The Seamaster was an amphibian flying boat though. Sea Vixen never was a seaplane/flying boat. Just a wheel based carrier plane orginally. With eg. flots on, well, then its a seaplane version .

I might design some floats for it!

(Grumble...)
I haven't seen or heard of that plane here until today, and like I said, I've had my eye on it. Sorry pal, you just made the list.

Oh! I just looked it up - Now I remember seeing you post that. Awesome! Does it have skis on it? If you could make it waterproof maybe it could get off the water as is!
