Seaplane

[Stephen1]

Hey,
First off, I'm just gonna say I'm a huge fan of the show, and I love everything you guys do. I was looking through your old videos on youtube and saw the FT Snowball. It looks great and all, so I had the idea of you guys at Flitetest possibly making a seaplane as part of your swappable series. Seaplanes look interesting at hobbyking and all, but way to expensive. Hope you consider this idea.
Thanks,
Stephen1

I love the slowboat that I built! Unfortunately the dtfb wing warped and stripped a servo after flying off water. So this plane is best suited for depron or FFF. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1864719

The West Michigan Park Flyers Mako Seaplane was pretty cool. http://www.wmparkflyers.com/mako-plane-p-35.html

Polaris Seaplane is cool. I have no experience with this plane. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=922465

The Drake seaplane is being built by another member:http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?12409-DTFB-Drake-II-Build-Thread


All of these plans are affordable to build, but are not swappables.. Give it a try and enjoy it. You don't have to wait for the FliteTest Crew to release a design.

A seaplane would be nice! Also nice for us northerners for use on snow.
