Any date for The Otter?
*Unofficial* FT Sea Duck
- Thread starter SP0NZ
- Start date
Austin leaked it on Instagram yesterday, so I guess it's okay to post. The Otter releases next week. You can buy it on the store on Monday and the free plans should be available on Wednesday (as usual).

The Otter looks like a neat airplane, but the Sea Duck looks really awesome!
Sponz,
Has the FT crew ever considered releasing the plans with the review video? I send the full-size plans to the print shop for printing. It would be nice to have the parts cut out and ready to go when the build video is released.

It might fly. Take a look at the Stits Sky Baby.
Laser Design Services sells a short kit designed for electric power.
I have plans drawn up for the Tri-Wing Terror, it will just be a while before I can get to building it.

Well, I suppose we're getting closer? its raining like mad every day in Missouri. Its Seaplane season, and I want the Duck! Every post seems to read like...
"HI, I'd like to introduce myself, I'm NOT the SeaDuck. Here's my new plane. As you can see, its NOT the SeaDuck either. Here's a video of the maiden flight. I think it looks great in the air, I think I've really captured the essence of NOT being the SeaDuck. I think it might handle a bit more like a SeaDuck, if I modify my tail design to be a bit more SeaDuck-ish..."
Sorry to turn this into a rant, but I'm living my life in a SeaDuck-based Tootsie Roll commercial!

Sponz, I'm counting down the minutes till I start my 5 day holiday weekend. The engineering plotter/printer is only 4 cubicles away. I'm set up for the PERFECT "build a seaplane weekend", except for the obvious. Maybe you could quietly PM a single file of the plans?

I'm a little disappointed that they spent the day flying instead of releasing the build video and plans...unless my calendar is wrong and it's not Thursday already? I plan on buying this kit from the store, since I don't have any waterproof DTFB.
Lol. They've got to test their designs before they release them. Your average plane release takes a lot of work, and a water plane even more so. They take a bit longer to build, and finding a good day for testing with a recovery craft is harder as well.

Be neat if there was a way to air-drop beer cans (with beer in them). People run aground off our dock all the time. Being able to air drop beer would be pretty awesome

Hmm...
Two 1240KV 2826 motors, a few 30A ESCs, some 9g servos, a receiver...
*Looks pointedly at calendar*
Any ideas what size props this thing is designed for?
