Hi Gerard, I found a pic of a Russian BE 200 twin turbofan flying boat as a good ducted fan subject, I would attach the pic if I knew how! Must be an advantage living in Ireland for water flying! All the best Richard

Oh Dear, Blotted my copy book already ! Yes I had misread it. A bit extreme to say I had derailed a thread though. I shall shall bow my head in shame...

Hi Guys, Just thought I would let you know that I'm interested to fly off water, is there a club that has this facility within an hour or so of Salisbury, Wiltshire?? Also, did you know that BRC Hobbies http://brchobbies.com do a great planes PBY Catalina?? Richard

Eric, Ah, Ok - BRC hobbies have got two that I know of, at a reasonable price too! The electric PBY Catalina is particularly attractive, where would be the best place to start this thread?? Cheers Richard

Hi all, well, my modelling activities span electric only, mainly ducted fan, some sport and FPV flying (video/ GPS equipped Thunder Tiger E - hawk) Loads of building, electronics/ electrical /mechanical experience. (not much else to do with the weather as it is. Been flying for many years but mostly on and off. I would love to get into flying off water, if anyone knows of a site within an hour or so of Salisbury, Wiltshire??
