The thought occurred to me that because I lived on the shore of Lake Ontario that floats would be a great idea. A 100 ft walk and presto, a perfect flying site. The floats were completed and mounted. I then called my brother and asked when he would be able to visit and show me how to fly this thing. His reply was he had no idea how to fly one, his first attempt was when I was watching and it did not work out. I then checked back with the hobby shop and found there were a couple local clubs but no float clubs. At this point I thought I would give it a go on my own. The first flight was pretty much perfect. A nice take off and a couple large circuits and a perfect float landing. Every one of the next 50 attempts resulted in a crash and repairs. Moral of story Join a club and get some help. I have been looking for and sharing info on the subject of radio control aircraft on the net also for the past 15 years.
My goal of this blog is to bring as much info about a particular model into one place. It has been my experience that most all the info you would need to purchase, build and fly a particular model is on the net. But this info is in 20 different places. If you have a particular subject you would like to write about and have it posted here, just drop me a note.
