Great addition from Avios and nice flying, John! Keeping wings level on take-off looked a little like it does with the ICON A-5 and that thing really has some power!
Capt. Kevin Frazier hey capt. Where ya been lately?? Really enjoyed seeing you fly especially the T45, your mainly the reason I bought one, hope to see some or your videos soon, thanks 👊🏼👊🏼
Hey bud, just found this vid, disregard my message on the other vid, this answered all my questions! I'm taking her up for the maiden this Sunday! Cheers & have a good weekend.
Looked nice! Better than those Slovokian brothers did on their maiden. I think they were dealing with too much wind too. I see a slight ripple but doesnt sound as windy where you are. I was impressed with the flight. I just do not have room for one of those big beautiful planes!
Had to relieve the twin elevator pushrod binding at rear exit points. And the rods were pressed together at the servo connector putting noticeable stress on that servo gear platform when it turns, actually bending it. Installed a three hole connector (as in the Seagull Spaceman (Spacewalker) at the servo...that servo must not stress fail and the pushrod binding? Gone..😁👌
That’s freakin Awsome John, gotta have one of these for my lake house this summer, digging the reverse, thanks for sharing this bud, can’t wait to order 👊🏼
@@JohnVHRC Thanks John. I suspect some other RUclipsrs just threw a battery in and hoped for the best. Mine is on its way. Looking forward to flying it although my potential flying sites don't look half as good as yours. Happy landings :-)
What A Beautiful & Great Flyin Bird!!! I've Seen The "Real Ones" Many Times Over Some 15+Years, They Have Quite A Few Being Restored At A Little Business Right Off The South Side Of Runways Close To The Restaurant, At Falcon Field In Mesa AZ, I Drove By Them Nearly Every Day Wishing I Could Own One! LOL Thanks PS John, Is Than An Old Discontinued Model? I Can't Locate It Anywhere, Just A "Smaller Catalina" Butt It's Even Outta Stock/Unavailable!? Thanks
Very nice flying and beautiful landings. What a nice aircraft to fly. Subscribed to your channel. I will be getting my channel going soon as soon as the snow goes away and it gets warmer. Happy Flying
What a cool spot to fly-snow capped mountains in the background, looks 👌. I'd love one of these but at the moment can't justify the shipping cost to NZ. If I get one look for it on Xjet channel👍
WOW - nice flying again and beautiful model also ! Grumman "Iron Works" - wonder how would LM and Hellcats look like if they saw your Albatross flying first! (and maybe even that school bus) ;-)
It's not released publicly yet. What you see in videos like this are pre-production samples sent out to various people for review and testing and promotional material. The latest from HobbyKing is .......................... "very soon".
Cool, but all of us don't have a lake or pond. I have planes with floats, but they have landing gear also. It would me nice to incorporate a set that snap in gear for land only.
Best video of the Albatross I've seen so far - good job!
One can tell by watching this that you can fly. A pleasure to watch, thanks!
I appreciate that, thank you!
That turned out even better than I had hoped! What a fun day of flying with a BEAST of an RC Plane 😀
Oh yeah, you nailed it!
JohnVHRC Thanks bro, you did too!
Lovely bit of flying that let's us all see the plane for what it is rather than what it can put up with!
Great stuff
Congrats!
A few nice flight clips showed up on the hobbyking weekly update.
Thanks!
I’m digging it! That reverse action!!!!!
Pretty fun, and handy!
Great flying John and GB did a great job of zooming, well done, that Albatross looked so nice, Jeff
We make a good video team!
Thanks Jeff and we sure do John! 😀
Great addition from Avios and nice flying, John! Keeping wings level on take-off looked a little like it does with the ICON A-5 and that thing really has some power!
Yeah, the floats out at the tips will cause drag when they touch the water
Great venue....great photography.....great flying....what more could you ask for? Great job guys.
Thanks man! Hopefully we get to do more soon.
A spectacular job, great video,smooth take off n landing. Congratulations my friend 👌👌👌Dear Santa you really gotta do something
Flew great....where did you set your CG?
Another top-notch video. I wish everyone could film as nicely as you do.
Much Appreciated! GBLyndens camera is top notch!
Thanks David!
Great presentation makes me want one. Love the livery & the reverse feature.
Capt. Kevin Frazier hey capt. Where ya been lately?? Really enjoyed seeing you fly especially the T45, your mainly the reason I bought one, hope to see some or your videos soon, thanks 👊🏼👊🏼
Great flying and great plane. Well done. I may just have to get one of these . Thanks for sharing.
Very nice flown and very nice Place to fly, thumb up
Thank you!
If I lived on a lake I would definitely get one of those. Nicely done.
Thanks! I dont live on a lake, but fortunately know people that do.
Hey bud, just found this vid, disregard my message on the other vid, this answered all my questions! I'm taking her up for the maiden this Sunday!
Cheers & have a good weekend.
Right on. Good luck!
Epic!! What a gorgeous view and lake! 👍👌🛫
So true!
Thank you!
Do you need much rudder or does it fly that lovely just with ailerons?!
It helps.
Do you know what battery you used, looks like it had great power. Also about how long of flight times does it get?

I had a crosswind, but not too much, its a big plane, it should handle wind ok. Thanks!
Looks great. Have you flown it off grass?
Yes, check out my other videos on it.

Great job you guys, looks amazing :-)
Thank you!
G Bro Thanks man!
Your C/G look to be right on. Where did you place it?
Man, trying to remember... sorry
That’s freakin Awsome John, gotta have one of these for my lake house this summer, digging the reverse, thanks for sharing this bud, can’t wait to order 👊🏼
Thanks!
Very nice. A lot of others seem to have had problems with it being tail heavy. Yours looks perfect. interested to hear where your CG is located.
Believe it or not, I flew it at the recommended CG point, I do however recommend starting a little more forward for the first flight.
@@JohnVHRC Thanks John. I suspect some other RUclipsrs just threw a battery in and hoped for the best. Mine is on its way. Looking forward to flying it although my potential flying sites don't look half as good as yours. Happy landings :-)
Possibly, not sure what their setup was, I did need some down trim on the maiden, thats what makes me say to try a little nose heavy first.
Great flying!
Great flying and great plane...ordered :) What was your CG in this video, looks spot on..
I did it by the book, but Im going to try a little more nose heavy next time to see how it feels.

Thanks, no, this is a new one, its just not on the website yet, Ill update the links once it is!
@@JohnVHRC Ohhh OK! Thanks
You had me sold on the last landing....and 50% batt
My timer is currently set for 15 min!
Very nice flying and beautiful landings. What a nice aircraft to fly. Subscribed to your channel. I will be getting my channel going soon as soon as the snow goes away and it gets warmer. Happy Flying

+John T I'll try. You need your own channel.
Very nice. Thank you and greetings from germany.
Thank you from USA!
Well done man!
Appreciate it!
Still not ready to tackle the amphibious landing gear?
I’d love some. But it takes off land pretty well
WOW - nice flying again and beautiful model also !
Grumman "Iron Works" - wonder how would LM and Hellcats look like if they saw your Albatross flying first! (and maybe even that school bus) ;-)
Thank you!
DUDE!!!! I was just literally looking up seaplanes!!! Wow!! Why can't I find this on their website?
It's not released publicly yet. What you see in videos like this are pre-production samples sent out to various people for review and testing and promotional material. The latest from HobbyKing is .......................... "very soon".
Not exactly, this IS a production airplane, and what everyone else will get from the website. :)

Good flight
Thank you!
Cool, but all of us don't have a lake or pond. I have planes with floats, but they have landing gear also. It would me nice to incorporate a set that snap in gear for land only.
Agreed, but as in my other video, it flies off grass perfectly!
Any idea on price range?
I wish I had more info, but I really have no idea. Ill update the description as I find out things.
I want to see someone touch down and hit reverse props. Its really cool if done right.
Tempting, but the props really should be stopped before adding reverse, maybe there is a brake in the escs that can be enabled!
Is someone cheating, it looks too easy. The take off, touch and goes, landings, docking on the shore. All too easy.
Thank you!
That plane rocks dude! :)
Rly awsome plane......
Thank you!
Some one who flies well off water! A rarity.
Thanks for noticing!
Wow, that's a keeper. 8^)
