One of my favorite scale glow-to-electric conversions is the 1928 Monocoupe ARF from Bohemia Models via [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/monocoupe.htm]Hobby Lobby[/link]. This 7’, 10lb giant scale plane was a blast to fly during the summer. By adding a set of 35” “[link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/floats.htm]Zeedoo[/link]” fiberglass floats, I was now able to fly it all year off of snow and water.

The giant scale Bohemia Models Monocoupe has an 82” wingspan and weighs about 10lbs when converted to electric power. For all its intimidating size, the Velie Monocoupe is a relaxing docile flyer. I missed flying the model during the long winter months in upstate NY so I decided to add some floats and have some fun in the snow!
