Robin - the seaplane

255k WinsWings  2.3 years ago
Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Basic Trainer

Beautifully flying seaplane. Takeoff and land any where in the water. Please use WATER TAKEOFF as there is no wheels to land on the ground. Well balanced.

Predecessor of this seaplane is my simple Trainer which I built out of 20 parts. That was a plane I enjoy flying too. Horizontal stabilizers are modified to balance the floats.

    Nice plane and flies.well - after some modifications: I hate to tell you this, but somehow thetailplane's commands are set to 'roll' I stead of 'yaw'. And you should also select 'invert' as 'yes'. Same with the float's fin. Invert it for the plane not move into the opposite direction when skimming over the water. Otherwise, I love it.
