Mighty Mini Sea Otter

I don’t, but I am designing a plane that I can take off from and race on snow. Thinking something like the sea angel but with a power pack f instead. Who’s in?

Not much difference, can be done with pretty much any floatplane. I decided on a 60% sea otter, small enough for the f pack (24 inch span I think) but not to small. Plans printed.

Interesting..... I live in Arizona, but I'm only 23 miles from a 14,000ft Mountain.
I'll think about playing in the Snow!! :cool:

Thanks @PoorManRC ... Just picked up enough FPV gear for 5 planes, and some of the 2205s on sale (F pack motor and you can't beat $3.50 a motor!) all for $60. http://rctimer.com/?product-1457.html

Never ordered from them before, was a tad put off by the shipping/Paypal fees at the end... but again, for $60 I guess I can't complain.

Neither do I....
Two of These might do the trick.

$14.99 each can turn up to a 11x5 Prop, max Amps less than 15A EACH.
If Thrust Differential isn't high on your list, a single 40A ESC Should do it!!
This US Store has great prices!!! 👏👏👏👏(y)(y):cool:

Like THIS!

$15.00, 40A ESC. Their Branded Hobbywing.
I’ve been looking at those amazon power packs. B-pack equivalent motor, 30amp esc and 10inch props for 15$ Also the smaller f-pack size, same price, 2200kv, 6inch props. Have a 20$ amazon gift card so hey, why not?

Edit: just realized eBay has These at less than half the price.

I don’t have a way to alter the plans so I’m going to do it manually, but we just might be able to get one of the plans people to do it;).

Awesome. Plans taped to the foam and ready to trace. I am using Ross foamboard by the way as it is waterproof.

That’s how I intend it.;) I usually try to use the space as efficiently as possible, I still have a large pile of odd shaped pieces of both Ross and Adams board. I use those pieces when I need just a little extra space.
