"Sorta Sikorsky" Version II


I've had so much fun with my Sorta Sikorsky with Slow Stick flying surfaces I decided to build another one but with some refinements. This is the result. I've completed flight tests and will now give it my "woodie" treatment with wood grain vinyl contact paper from Ace Hardware.
Version II has a Parkzone Super Cub molded wing, TowerPro motor & ESC, and a slimmer hull with longer sponsons. It tolerates breeze much better than the original. Battery is in the hull which lowers the C of G.

Epoxy, CA, or Duct tape?

Takes on and off the water right? Do you have a video of it flying?

Takes off the water just fine. The plane is a good performer. Does not go vertical however. Haven't done videos, too busy building and flying. Maybe later.

No thread but I'll post some pictures in a few weeks. It's pretty much "eyeball" engineering with a few critical dimensions,
