Default PBY-5A Catalina

In the last few days I've finished and succesfully flown my Catalina (discontinued Kyosho ARF, ~70" wingspan, 2x Magnum XL15A).

Catalina was my dream since I've returned to building models four years ago. But after crashing my first trainer (bought it, assembled, went to fly, thought - it's piece of cake - hours on the PC with Rougue Squadron and other games - I'm the best!!! Crashed into hundred pieces after 10 seconds) I realized, that the way is long... Went with patience through styro electrics, sailplane, glow trainers, two small electro seaplanes, and now after four years my Catalina with two glow engines flies safely !!!

This beautiful plane always keeps attention wherever appears - even at sunday morning 7AM at the lake !!!

Here there is a short [link=http://www.organy.com.pl/modele/catalina_teaser.wmv]"teaser trailer"[/link]. The video comes soon - some shots are in my buddy's camera.
