Making DIY Pontoons / floats for an RC Airplane
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- Making pontoons is not that complicated when following simple rules for the design. We are using the same airplane made in a previous video, the Joytrainer, (based on the design Simple Storch from Flitetest) a good airplane for beginners.
Seaplanes are boats that can fly or airplanes that can float, either way, they’re cool because they can do both things, the good part is that we don’t need a runway because they can take off and land on water, which is the thing that happens to be 71% of the earth surface. Let’s see how we can design some floats for our airplanes.

Tanks for your information..
Excellent video. Just the right balance. One place where the water usually gets in is the water rudder post hole. You were spot on filling the floats with foam - very little extra weight and insurance against total sinking plus it would give extra strength length-wise in the float. Look forward to more.
And cool plane + nice pontoons
I recently build the simple free flight glider and I have to say, its an amazing plane and flies great
Awesome plane! have just built it and it flies great. this is definitely my next project and cant wait to build them!! Thanks so much for all the plans especially as they're free
Another great build and flight, young fellah! Almost tempted to get out of my rocking chair and try to build something. :D
Is that you theo
cool, those pontoon doing really good job
Thank you!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Woowwww 😮... Awesome 😮 👏👏👏👏
I like it, you are amazing. For the next project you can make a simple warbird.
amazing just pure amazingness
looks good, big fan!!!.
Joy excelente job
Great job. Will be adding floats to my scratch built, foamie Lazy Bee 🐝
I really loved it
I love your channel!
nicee landing...👌
great video
Exelent vidéo
Great project, looks and works great. I've been playing with colored wing tape (which I got from hobbyking) to make my foamboard creations look nicer. It's basically shipping tape that is colored, but also very thin and light. That might help with the discolorations some of your foaming glue caused as well as additional waterproofing. It looks to me like you are using too much elevator in your water take-offs - you want the plane to kind of lift/bounce itself off the water when it has enough speed to break surface tension. Try to only use enough elevator to prevent prop strikes on the water - you can probably back off elevator as you speed up - down to 20% or so at take off. If it doesn't want to take off without lots of elevator, you might need to add a little wing incidence by adding a 3-5mm shim under the front of your wing on the fusealage, or by just decreasing the height between the back of the pontoons and the tail of your plane.
Thanks for your ideas. I'm pretty sure I wasn't using too much elevator in the second try, but I have to because otherwise there's a risk of dipping the nose of the pontoons and crash. But it actually takes off very easy.

I am making tiny floats for my mini mustang p51D.
Without a rudder in the floats, it is hard to maneuver on water but i almost got it working...
Will make a video if it works
My first rc plane was an Art Tech Coota , a water plane and since then I got the waterplane fever
fantastic
hi there , nice job and a interesting video, l think l have to try this things out, grettings from NORWAY
Great content!

Next video: Make a solar plane! 😊
Here we are 😊
Estoy suscrito a tu canal en español, no sabía que tenias este otro 😅
I use depron and cover it with scotch tape.. sticky tape.. depends on what u call it. Do it with overlap of more than 50% and it becomes pretty much water resistant
Hermoso
👍👍👍
You should make a tiny whoop.By building this tiny whoop you fly and enjoy a lot in your home in this lockdown situation
Can you make a wooden p_51 plane please
"LOOK ITS LANDING!"
(Everyone liked that)
Please make a flight test rc ft commuter. This plane a awasome
you added the rudder on the left which create a noticeable drag during takeoff. also its weight turns the model towards left. i think soo🤔❤️
Hi ,nice work like allways.
Can you build snow skies ,for the plane?!I have snow here..Thank
u can use the same engine on LEGO propeller planes
Hola te sigo por los dos canales en ingles y español claro pues no publicas los mismos vídeos lo que es un problema no entiendo el ingles le sugiero los pongas al mismo tiempo en ambos canales y así los de poco conocimientos en habla inglesa podemos seguir aprendiendo junto a tu canal que a mi modesto entender en el tema eres un CRACK explicando. Y asiendo que uno se enamore mas del aeromodelismo. Saludos y se te sigue desde la isla de CUBA.
Hola, muchas geacias por tu comentario, ultimamente he dejado de subir nuevos videos proque estoy ocupado en otros proyectos. Espero subir algunos videos mas pronto cuando retome esto. Saludos.
@@Joyplanes gracias por responder, esroybal tanto de que no has subido nada nuevo,re sugiero que hagas revisión de lo que has publicado en los dos canales y lo que no tengas en uno y seta en el otro hasle el doblaje de traducción y aunque sean viejos para unos serán nuevos para otros seguidores como yo. Habrazos y a la espera de mas de Joyplanes.
Why not try some cardboard free flight
Gliders because i am currently out of foam and it is not available easily
That would be great if you try so
Just go to a hardware store, at least in America they sell insulation foam boards for next to nothing, im not sure about other countries.
Please make a cessna.
try this with joy mini
You always flies very amazing rc planes can you please tell me that the flight time of these planes using 3 or 4s battery?
This plane can take from a 2000 mAh to 4000 mAh battery. And fly for about 8 to 15 min respectevly
Your english is very sweet and how old are you?
Bro. Battery how many voltages ahnd mah are used here
Can i make the rc plane without flap
Can u share the plane on A4 saiz
Can i make the rc plane without flaps
Yes
I can assure you that this tiny whoop can help you a lot for practising drone
