![]() ![]() Im obssesed with waterplanes ..flyingboats in particular scale and models ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I created the waterplanes sticky a long time ago to act as a sign post and resource base for anyone interested in the field ... but as Ive found sites go down ..links get broken and the net is generally very fragile over time as a repository for such fascinating but specialist interests .. when Tapio Kuosoma K Kuosma's son made contact and gifted pretty much all his fathers work/ plans and rarer family beautiful made modeling films some years back . I became worried that unless they could be secured over a number of reliable sites it would be lost or dissipated, then lost ... I originally had one plan T10 I bought second hand it was slightly faded and damaged but it put me on the trail of a Finnish Polymath who had a special talent for building flyingboat models - perfect in a land of lakes and forests..snow and ice and gave me a insight into a different world time wise. The OZ and the thread I created on this forum hold the plans ..the original files tend to be too large and the movies especially but Steve and The OZ have taken on the plans as have the Wasserflug forum .. so they stand a good chance of getting into the hands of all you good folks building them. Im still hoping there's a way of backing up the super 8 films.. to other places so they wont be lost ![]() The prospect of E power systems, FPV and video applied to amphibians brings a striking range of possibilities to this arena and many of these vintage designs immediately can be seen as lending themselves to this role. ![]() I'm watching here for waterplanes in particular but please add a cross reference entry to the sticky in waterplanes for those that follow, you can also explore the fascinating possibilities of being able to fly from water/snow and ice long grass etc ... perhaps we can tempt you ![]() ![]() Im also hoping to see a resurrection of the challenging skill f CL hydro flying ... team race but over water ![]() ![]() ![]() Clive |

Here's what I have build from outerzone, the Pilot QB2500 (planID: 1246) with ailerons and a Piper "L-21B" Super Cub (planID: 5114),
also equipped with ailerons. Nothing beats the reward of flying your self build planes. ![]() Outerzone is simply amazing, keep up the good work Steve and Mary! |

Nice to see that you've used my pic, thanks. I will add some lettering on the QB when I have time, but apart from that it's finished.
Thank YOU for your great work. |

Veron Impala scaled down to 70% from OZ plans. A great little flier.

Looks great, is it hard to fly without proportional control?

No ailerons. Just rudder & elevator.
Not hard to fly at all. The video below is from my first flight with the reeds set & no problem with control.

Hi the sites gone and if I'm right sadly so is has he there was an explanation in the pre 1960 plans Thread in Vintage one of the guys had met him and was explaining how despite his carefully cultivated reputation he was a genuine old school draftsman and would decipher and re draw old plans that would have been impossible to restore till recently.
