Default First Water Takeoff of the Electric Amphibious Lazair

On July 18, 2011, Dale Kramer's Lazair became the first electric aircraft to make a water takeoff and landing. This video of historic flight from Keuka Lake, Hammonsport, New York, captures the unique sound of the twin-engine electric ultralight.

The float plane Lazar has 48 Zippy 5AH Lipo cells per side and two Castle Creation ICE HV 160 ESC’s.

You can see the video [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YINO0aoSAGg]here[/link].

If you google it you will find it uses re wound Hobbycity Hacker clones and Jeti 300A ESC's (not castle 160hv)
