Nice video. Thought you had those docks one time. Where did you get the Buccaner?

I scratch built it from Bluecore foam. Covered it in Econolite.

Great job. Looks terrific!

Thanks Staggerwing. Lots of people wanted to hear the whole song so I spliced in another days shoot. Not as fluid but works. Enjoy! www.tornlogic.com/avov/buc2.wmv

Staticman,

As you youngest daughter would say--Kewell!!!
Another great video!

Next question, what kind of video camera are you using?

Rich

Wyoming Wind Festival Jan 1 to Dec 31

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

Way kewel! :D The camera is a Sony TVR-22 DV. It takes nice videos for the money.

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

Wow, I'm seriously impressed.

Care to fork out some plans for that little beauty?

I'd love to do one, but one q, isn't the buccaneer a pusher?

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

Rendegade, thanks! Its a scratchbuild from foam and mostly handdrawn sketches. I will be putting it into CAD and will make it available at some point. Your right, mate! The Bucc. was a pusher but models have been built of both. The reason for a puller on this one was simplicity of building and commonly available parts that are inexpensive. I'd like to make a pusher for the next one to compare. Nice avatar by the way....;)

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

Cheers man!

Do you access to a scanner?

If so, scan them and I'll see what I can do for you.

What sort of flight time are you getting with it?

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

That is the coolest video ive ever seen. How did you keep the camara so steady? Most are jearky.

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

Credit goes to my neighbor who is a 767 Captain. Steady under pressure!

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

No scanner at the moment,but working on the plans.
With the 2100 3cell, I get about 20 mins of flight time in about 5 mph winds with about
10 ROW's.

Here is a video of the Buccaneer's view; http://www.tornlogic.com/avov/stccdc.wmv 14 megs

Cheers!

That's to cool man. Love the video's. I've been thinking about getting one of the on board cameras my self. Where did you get yours? Is it one that transmits to a ground based receiver for recording? Looks like some nice boats around your area too. Make some more video for us.......PLEASE.

Staticman,

Great little plane! I am really looking forward to building one when you finish the plans. Thanks for sharing the video.

Chris.

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

I never knew this hobby could be so relaxing..........great videos and music. Makes me wanna do one....electric amphib that is

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

Yep. One afternoon of touch and goes and you'll be hooked!

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

Staticman,

Any plans yet?

Thanks, Chris.

RE: Buccaneer Video
 

What a fantastic seaplane! I have been flying on floats for the first time this summer, it's fantastic. Now I'm going electric too.
Would you mind posting some more details on your Buccaneer?
I have only find one small plan designed by David Ramsey.
