Hydrofoam Needed

[matthew954]

I need a Hydrofoam for Clearview. I have an Air Hogs Storm Launcher and when the packs all die on me, it means its time to call it a day. Yet I am still itching to fly again. I know theres a Hydrofoam for FMS, I was wondering if someone could build a Hydrofoam for Clearview. I wouldn't mind a Storm Launcher(if you can figure out differential thrust on Clearview) If not than an F1 form RCSuperpowers or a Miss Hangar 1. I say either of them because sometime down the road I plan on getting one of them. If Helo or anyone else here can help me out I'll appreciate it.

Ok, thanks. Most of the info on both can be found here at RCGroups. But I can take pictures of my Storm Launcher. The sites that I have found so far:

Storm Launcher: www.airhogs.com or www.stormlauncher.com

F1: www.rcpowers.com/F1HydroPlane/f1trans.htm

I haven't found any sites for Miss Hangar One as of yet. I will post anything I can find.

I found the thread that was started by red the models designer here:

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=385089

It has some close up pics as well as specs on the model

And here is a build thread with lots of pics:

Hope this helps out. I tried to find a website that sells them but it seems to either be down for maintenance or is no longer being run.

Thanks I will bookmark these for future references

Any chance you got started on any hydrofoams helo. Just asking since I saw the screenshots skirtz posted of the new water environments he has been working on. I was just curious though lol.

[helo36]

One is next..i just finished the Sea Duck today and posted on my website for download

[matthew954]

Yeah I downloaded it after I got CV to run on my laptop. It runs great. I do have a question about it though. Is it going to be a ground only plane or will there be a version with just the floats to land on? I saw skirtz screenshots of the water environments and was wondering that. But take your time man, like I alway say to my co-workers.. you can't rush perfection lol. Another great model to add to you list!

[helo36]

Here is my version of the Waterflyer....It is also ready to float on water when the water gets perfected.....I will probably do another soon that looks like a formula 1 racer....ENJOY!!...Planes page 29

Very cool. I like lol.

[matthew954]

That was FUN!!!!!! Now I need an F1 from RCSuperpowers lol. Your waterflyer would make a cool paint scheme for one. Without a doubt helo the seaduck and the water flyer are 2 of your best models yet.

Ken,

Awesome! Can you post a water video? (My video card is not strong enoug to make video from water scenes).

Stefan

[helo36]

I made 3 videos in Mpeg format to show the VERY EARLY STAGES of the water developement in Clearview. Here are the links to them...ENJOY!!

I'd just like to note that Red was not the model's designer. He copied the design from a movie and pictures that Ernest and Michael released and created his own kit. Without the help of those 2 guys Red's kit would probably never have been released. Michael and Ernest are also the designers of the StormLauncher.

[matthew954]

Yes, I know that seeing as how I have a Storm Launcher, and have been following the threads almost religiously. And I know that Michael Connally for the most part designed the Hydromfoam in the first place. I was talking abut REDS particular model. Not the whole hydro design. The one that RED was working on.

Hello
I just upgraded my Clerview, and forgot to save my models :eek: . Among the models that were lost was the Waterflyer. As far as I can see it has disappeared from Ken's website.
Can anybody help me with a copy ?

regards

[helo36]

Shoot me an email..I will send it to you.....I am in the process of refitting all models to breakable parts and new flight characteristics. I no longer have access to the current website to change anything...due to changing my phone number and ISP account to get a faster DSL..... But I am working on another website that I will not post until I have ALL models currently available completed to breakable parts. The New website when completed will look very similar to the old one.

The breakable waterflyer i flying well.
The breakability sems to be rather realistic.
The roll rate is quite high, but I suppose that is also what is expected of a "no wing" aircraft
