Default RE: Looking for a good Float Plane

I'll second the Northstar, as it's rated to be flown off snow as well! Although I have not flown it off snow, and has only had a few flights. Still, a cool looking plane.

I will second taht it is not an easy build, and that care must be taken. Thi is not a it like GP or Sig, which details a lot int eh manual Balsa USA are considred to be 'builders kits' anyways. It also builds big! that plane is one peice, and cannot fit into some small cars.

Also, people say that even a good .46, the plane is underpowered, and always requires weight up front. Plan to move them servos and radio as far forward as possible. Ditto with the engine, get it as far forward on the engine moutns!

here's mine!
