At least 500HP for a single engine float plane I would imagine, possibly even more, given the weight being in the ballpark of 2000lbs or more. The thrust to weight ratio needs to be over 1:1 and it rarely is with single engine land or seaplanes unless it’s an aircraft designed for competition aerobatics. Even then, it’s rare to see TWR of over 1:1 in piston non turbo-charged aircraft. An Extra 300 has a TWR of 0.75:1 and it’s one of the best full scale aerobatic aircraft ever built. Thrust provided by engines is variable depending on air temperature and density as well. Engines perform better in colder, denser air. Thrust also depends on the propeller size, pitch and RPM. So it’s not as simple as comparing horsepower to weight. But for a seaplane, I figure you would want at least twice the horsepower of what the standard engine is capable of producing in order to do these kinds of aerobatic maneuvers.
Lovely plane, flying,great pilot. Nicely built plane. Thanks for sharing 😊 from 🇬🇧
I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Stunts on a float plane close to the ground/ water. Amazing.
Loved every minute of this flight! Inspiring
great flying and neat plane
fucking legend, would love to see this
Nice model with a brilliant pilot good effort 👍
Someone across the lake see a plane falling from the sky and calls the cops lol that thing is huge
that BIG plane...that little pond
I kind of feel bad for the passengers on board- comet comet.
How much monaayy for one of these suckers
How much for a kit like that ?
Nice plane sir, is it a kit sale like that ?
Yes it is. It’s the 140” wing span, 120cc Bushmaster sold by Extreme Flight RC. 👍 Floats available separately.
@@EagleDriverVan very nice, what's your engine ?
What's the size of the propella?
DA? GP?
How much hp would a normal plane need to do stuff like an rc one

Put fpv
did you build this or buy? Sweet.
That’s the Extreme Flight 140”/120cc Bushmaster available from Extreme Flight RC. 👍
