Well after seeing the thread on the Flyzone Beaver here on RCG's, and noticing several guys doing makeovers I decided to give it a go.
I have always liked the de Havilland Beaver on floats. The full scale is such a cool plane with its versatility and all environment flying ability.
I bought the plane on a black Friday deal from Tower for what I thought was a very good price.
Right from the start I knew I would change it over to Spektrum DSMX so it will bind to my DX18QQ, not a big fan of the Anylink system. I got several ideas from the other guys that have done these makeovers before me, then I proceeded to add my own little quirks. I found a full scale Beaver that I liked to color scheme on and went to work. I hate to think how many hours I have in this plane, especially since it was suppose to be an ARF.
I am very happy with the outcome and can't wait to get it outside on the water so I can get some nice pictures in the water and in the air. I guess even a foam ARF can be a lot of fun to build when you get creative.
Enjoy the pictures, the last one being the full scale that I got the color scheme from. Any questions please feel free to ask or visit the Flyzone Beaver thread here on RCG's for some very good information and some other very beautiful planes and video.
I have updated the pictures to outdoor pictures, I hate indoor shots.
