2000mAh Li-Po I’ve been
flying R/C for over 30
years now, and whilst
it’s good fun operating
‘full house’ models I
still like to fl y
3-channel rudder /
elevator occasionally.
When pondering an
own-design fl ying boat I
decided that this, too,
would be a rudder /
elevator model, with old
timer looks and powered
by an electric motor
spinning a 9” (or
thereabouts) prop. The
internet puts such a
wealth of information at
your fi ngertips, and it
didn’t take too long to
fi nd a free-flight model
upon which to base my
design. I used a picture
of it as the wallpaper on
my PC for continued
inspiration, and set
about designing the Wave
using CAD. With the plan
drawn and the prototype
quickly built, I was
keen to get to the
water’s edge to see how
she’d perform. I’d
given Wave a wide,
boat-shaped fuselage with
a V-bottom words and
photos » Ton Van
Munsteren section before
the step and a fl at
ditto after the step,
which hopefully pointed
to easy taxiing and
fuss-free take-offs.
I’m glad to say that I
was right; take-offs are
as long as you like and
as smooth as silk, and
on only half power, too.
Open the taps, and a
full-power ROW only takes
about five metres! Once
airborne, the lack of
ailerons doesn’t spoil
the fun for Wave will
lift her skirt and loop,
roll, stall turn and do
a (sort of) half Cuban 8
- just on rudder and
elevator. Still
interested? Then let’s
get building!Article In
