I am wanting a giant Spruce Goose sea plane, but I can't find anywhere that has any. I talked to a member of the flying club I am in and he is almost a sea plane expert and he said that he thought he had heard of on that was radio controlled but he didn't know. If anyone has ever heard of where I can get one, please let my know.

All of the Spruce Gooses I have seen are scratch built. It seems all of the neat planes come that way otherwise we would be over run with these things. I have seen publications with them, one had eight 25's and another one had eight speed 400 electrics. In most cases a lot of foam was used in their construction. I believe there was one on this forum about a year ago.
There are three views out there, get one and start drawing or pay me a few thousand dollars (US) plus expenses and costs.and I'll build you one. Should take a year or two.

A guy out here has built one...scratch built... 'bout 10 foot wingspan... think he said he had shortened the fuse a little to get it to fly correctly. I think there's a guy out in Chilliwack who has built one too. I'll PM you some more info.

There are no kits of the spruce goose, but there are a couple of plans available, but they are not common and you'll have to do some digging to find them.

Ok. I might find a plan for one and build it from scratch.

Well since there is no kit of the Spruce Goose, where can I get the plans for one that I can build from them? Does anyone know?

Well see, I'm wanting a scale Spruce Goose. The problem wth those plans on that web site was that it only had 2 engines amd was small to what I'm wanting to build.
