Here's is Micahel's custom 4 engine Value Planes Seagull in action.

This is the Planeprint EVO on Floats.  The EVO comes with wheeled landing gear but also has optional skis and floats.  Today was float day.

Great pics and videos - Thanks for sharing.
BTW - I should be starting my Seagull build in about 2 weeks. Wish me luck

I flew both my Seagulls yesterday. They takeoff and land beautifully on the snow, and do superb touch-n-goes.

Mark, feel free to contact me for any help or advice (before cutting or gluing!).

The three most important modifications, in my opinion, were:

1. A larger/longer battery hatch

2. Tip floats held on with magnets; not glued in. They come off all the time. Better they come off than break off. In fact, the plane flies great without tip-floats on land and snow. I did not use the tip-floats yesterday.

3. 4 cell system instead of recommended 3-cell system.
