They posted a video but not much more infos. .. it seems just fine to practice those funny splash-and-gos with a sport-scale twin!

Status: offline 		HI Guys:

Just to clear up some possible confusion... The CL-215 is brand new and has not at all been discontinued. In fact it hasn't even been released yet. The first batch is showing up around the end of February. We hope to make a CL-415 as well but that is off in the distance as of now. The CL-215 cowls are much better for cooling. There should be a few more pictures posted on the site now... under the KMP "sport series" I have posted here an actual picture of the model we had on display at the Canadian Hobby Show in Toronto.

What did you think about the video?

Status: offline 		video...schmideo......I want the real thing!!!! Cool that you have chosen to do the classic 215. It has got that hairy chested, work horse, stake bed truck look...... much more purposeful than the dainty looking 415!!

is your CL 215 going to be able to pick up water? I built one from RCM Plans and it will pick up about a quart of water and drop it. It is pretty cool. I do like yours though, it looks a lot more scale than mine.

A couple of things...

First the hubs I used were the 1.25 flanged (not sure on the number) We stock them and sell them with the props and engines.
Second, unfortunately this model as its made can not pick up water. I am sure that with some enginuity one can create the system to do it but for now that is an aftermarket project.

The plane can easily handle a significant payload though... its quite light and has a large high lift wing so it is well within what the plane is capable of handling as additional weight.
