- FMS Supercub 1700mm with floats! This plane flies on 4S and handles the water very well I am super impressed with the fact that the floats have a rudder! The plane handles great in the air and has very good stol capabilities! It also comes with big tundra tires which is a great mix of land and water.
I just bought one of these. It's my first electric foamy. I've been a traditional builder/glow engine modeller for 50 years and this foam business takes some getting used to! The thing is ludicrously light, so light that it's only a fair weather airplane. I have mine on floats as well and i find that landing needs a flat approach with some power and a flair just before touchdown. Full flaps slow it down too much for water ... ok for grass. On water it needs a bit of speed to keep it afloat until it settles. On takeoff you gotta get off quick or it could get squirrely. That's because the water rudder does not retract and as you gain speed you also gain too much rudder authority. I've done a lot of float flying with larger, heavier wooden planes with real engines and we use retractable rudders. My 1/4 scale J3 Cub is terrific!
Nice flying. Beautiful location.
i like your flying skills. Fun to see when people know what they are doing
Nose up when it's landing time ! That's will be much better, and that will give you a soft landing ! That's a real nice plane ! Have fun my friend ! 👍✈️✌️
I took a class for real full size float planes. You see the rear section of the floats thats thinner and flat? Thats what you touch down on. Come in fairly slow, not too slow and flare a lot so your nose is high then set it down naturally with the drag easing off the power slowly. When it sinks into water greatly, you can idle your power
great flying- if the floats are same as the Super EZ the rudder goes on the left side and the small fins face inside
I just ordered the V2 today. Seems pretty forgiving with the floats landing. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
It looks great! I've been watching this plane for a while so might look into it. I've done hundreds of float landings and to have smooth landings reduced speed and a flat angle is what makes them smooth.
Beautiful 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍
Very nice. Thought about buyin this but I never did. Probably won’t. Looks great though!👍👍👊😁
Other comment is right the rudder is on the left so the extra rake goes on the inside so it doesn’t splash the plane.
Some hella steep approaches. Does the job 😂
I love mine, but haven't tried floats yet.
You are coming in too hot and level for smooth water touchdowns try full flaps and some flair on the touchdown instead it will eliminate that bounce
Takes me back to Pierre Part Louisiana the Cajun accent!
Yes sir!
Way way to fast for landing water... Work on your slow speed flying
