Thanks! Its coming along quite good. Till now i thinks its been my most difficult build ive done, to get things right in angles at pods, wings, tail, together. Also by dont have any view from top/side where could easier find accurate measurements. And, because its planned to be a flying boat (seaplane) not just a Ekronaplan, to make adjustments on bottom on fuselage, placement of motorpods so get propellers that could get it flying, eg.
It gave much research, every picture i could find of similar Ekronaplan, and learn about seaplanes constructions of designs, to get it hopefully be as planned in behavior.

Thanks!.... liked the style my self... and for once, a totally modern plane, since no original is buildt yet, just showed as projectmodel by the company...... now its a model more, quite similar, as a RCA beautiful build as always! Well done man!
Used the engines as had... it got two 2830 1400Kv motors. For shure enough power. Build weight without battery : 1400g (approx as expected)
1300mm wingspan, 1200mm length

No vibration in any speed, not tried with props though. They are in mail. A very very minor "deflection" of the "rod" up to motor nacelle when gives fast full speed is only.
