Beautiful Spring-like weather at TEMAC. Here's a few images, including a shot of Simon's airplane welcoming home a flock of geese.

A big airplane (wing comes off in 2 pieces) 2 meter wingspan. Flies very well on a 6-cell 5,000 mah pack; does aerobatics, even with the floats. Easy to fly, and very powerful.

What's wrong with this plane: Once crashed and repaired; one wing is connected with standard servo connectors (see photos); one half of the elevator has come loose and needs to be re-hinged (even tape would work). The floats are the version 1.

What's good about this plane: Flies amazingly well. Flies off runway, grass, water, and snow. I've flown this off Lake Scugog and Lake Simcoe, even through 6" waves. It's flown off snow many times.

Receiver not included.

Retail is almost $1,000 including tax.

This is available for $100 to the first person who calls me, and confirms that they will pick it up promptly. (I'm having construction in my house, and I need the space.)

Installed the motor mount onto the firewall.  The open structure allowed the aluminum bracket to rock left and right (rack).  To stop this I added a bit of 3/32 ply (photo 39) inside the bracket opening (photo 40).  It firmed it up dramatically.
Oh, yes.  Re-soldered the bullet connector that broke off.

Motor mount done. Now have to check the retracts that do and don't at the wrong time. :)
