Cessna 208 Caravan Amphibian

IASledder · Jan 21, 2004, 06:54 PM

Well xmech inspired me with his Fed Ex version of this plane. I'm strictly into floaters and don't know if Fed Ex does any water landings or not, so did a passenger version.--- Jim

WoW IASledder that IS really nice! great job. You'll have to give us a report on this beauty.

IASledder · Jan 21, 2004, 10:40 PM

Thanks guys.
Thomas the basic specs are here on the Bovine web page. http://www.bovineaeroworks.com/bovine_aero_006.htm

If you haven't seen it exmech has the Fed Ex version posted on here as well. Look for his aka or BAW 38 ep Caravan Build.

Using the 350C motor, 9.6V NiMh 800 mAh battery, sub micro servos, Castle Creations 20p ESC, GWS JR 4 chnl rX, 9070 3 blade prop for an initial test, but water around here won't open until April and FoamFloats 22" from Manta Plane.---Jim

Picture of the real thing I used as a guide.

VERY Nice!! As for the water, taxiing it around your bathtub is still in the picture!!

Does it have ailerons?

IASledder · Jan 22, 2004, 10:55 AM

It does not have ailerons at the moment, but have been giving it thought. I have kept the deihedral down to around 5*, which may make it a little harder to turn. Time will tell.

You can easliy add aielerons and or flaps.

IASledder: You should have no problem turning with 5* of dihedral.

IASledder · Jan 22, 2004, 01:31 PM

shucks, that's the easy way out. lol---Jim

Dog Fight? Not a chance, this was my sons idea of a joke. Pic below is as close as this will ever come.

Very Funny!!

IASledder · Jan 23, 2004, 01:13 PM

The Beaver has been crashed so many times from my great flying skills it's starting to look like the looser from a dogfight. Especially now that I'm flying off of ice, much more hazardous to it's health than a water crash. By the way as you may have noticed, my AOT on the Cessna is too great. Got that corrected. While at it measured the actual wing dihedral, 7.5*.
