This is very different from me! prop planes aren't really my style but I must say, I'm now a believer. This thing floats and flies incredibly well. This plane in my option beats the fun jets flight characteristics. Here is my reasoning.
- Doesn't torque roll on hand launch
- doesnt drop the nose while doing low speed turns
- tracks better
- larger canopy area
- floats in for landings
- larger control surfaces for more maneuverability.
- fun jet may be slightly more slippery (untested)
finished flying weight between 600-700g
length 39"
width 30"
Items needed.
I personally used this motor https://graysonhobby.com/gh-micro-jet-v3-brushless-outrunner-motor.html
anything 2200kv , 3s is fine
6x4 prop or near that. much larger may not clear the vertical tail. you can always cut a notch if needed.
1000-2200 3s recommended
2x 9g servos https://a.co/d/4BFNn1N
