    That's some really thick seaweed on the lake. The plane handled it well and looked good doing it. Good work Team GB.

      Hahaha the ground was pretty darn soppy wet away from the seaweeds too 👊🏻💥👊🏻

    Nice job. I like that the water rudder doesn't interfere with grass ops...

    @davidsnyder238 2 года назад +2

    That is a really bice looking and flying plane! I didn't realize how big it was until I read the description! It looks like it coukd handle a 6s conversion although flight performance doesn't lack. It could benefit from a little more weight in the nose, heavier battery maybe. Excellent job GB!

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  2 года назад +1

      Thank you brother! You are right about power, it is really impressive on 4S and sounds great! That was the only 4S pack I agree that either nose weight needs to be added or that I need a bigger battery. Either way, this is a lot of plane at this price point, especially in today’s inflated pricing climate.

    Very nice. I'd love to see them offer this in the USAF paint scheme as well, since the Air Force actually had more Albatross aircraft than the Coast Guard and Navy combined. Of the 466 Albies manufactured, nearly 300 were for the USAF. The Air Force used it extensively for search and rescue operations during the Korean and Viet Nam wars.

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  2 года назад

      That would be a great scheme to offer too! Thank you for that history as I didn’t know any of that 👊🏻💥👊🏻

    Hi how many cells is the battery?

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  2 года назад +1

      I flew it on a 4 cell pack. I have a link in the description to the pack 😎

    • @josecatalano5856
      @josecatalano5856 2 года назад

      Did you try with 3 cells? Really this plane can fly with 3cell? I saw that in hobbyking descriptions.....

    • @GBLynden
      @GBLynden  2 года назад

      I wouldn’t try it on 3S because I like power in reserve flying off terrain like this and water, but some might be brave enough to do it.
