Hi guys,
I need ideas. Like many of you I have lots of planes and so I decided I'll focus on recycling this year. I want to build an aerobatic float plane.
I have these I hope to integrate within
turnigy 3015 1000kv motor either on 3s (up to 12 inch prop) or 4s (likely 10 inch prop) depending on what I go for
Supercub LP floats http://www.horizonhobby.com/float-set:-super-cub-lp-hbz7390
I was running it on an overgrown nube tube and the issue I had was that the plane wast heavy, not waterproof enough and the floats need serious reinforcement. In addition my 7 inch prop was hitting water at times... (waves etc)
Also I have built many planes and to give an idea, I find the FT spitfire not agile enough anymore so wanted something a bit more nimble.
I saw the flitetest episode where they used a duster but I worry about the pitchy-ness of it on landing... I like the storch, wondering about the length of the floats being appropriate for that one.
This is where you come in. Need to bounce ideas off people.
