Power is two OS .46LA engines. Flies good on floats, too.

The last photo was taken after the successful test flight.

That's an interesting setup for the water rudder. Is that of your own design? Most of the ones I've seen are just stuck on the rear of one float.

Status: offline 		Howdie guys,

I just finished my first float plane project. Actually, I've had this LA Racer .40 from World Models for a while. Purchased Super Flying Models floats from Horizon Hobby last week. Did it all in one Saturday. I am taking this baby to Lake Camanche in CA on a camping trip in two weeks with my family and friends. I hope she flies well.

Cheers to all!

Carlos T.

Status: offline 		42etus,

The floats are fiberglass and came with that water rudder. There was a tube already through the float at that point. In addition, the rear of the floats is slanted forward, which makes mounting a water rudder back there hard.

You are correct in that all my other planes have them on the rear. This is the first time I have seem one like this, mounted near mid float. Seems to work.
