one or both props will get it upon departure. It happened to me. I repaired it with a little epoxy and micro balloons. All in all i like it. Looks good sitting on the stand and in the air.
I still have it. Only flew it a couple times so far, yes even after all these years. Once was a hefty hand launch and belly land on grass and the other times were off the water. I ran the recommended electrify 400 outrunners and 25 amp esc's. I ran a Futaba digital servo for the rudder. The rest of the servo's were the recommended Futaba servos. Just could not get the rudder to center with the regular servos. Flies good, Lands good. Color shows up fair in the air. The silver on the top and the off white on the bottom kind of blend together kind of hard to see if the wings are level or not while flying. I cannot remember the all up weight but it was not bad. I run 2 3S2100 mah thunder power packs so basically a 3s 4200 mah battery. I did not have the recommended battery. I would think a 3S 3200 would be fine. Do something about the hatch, maybe a little fiberglass inside or some balsa strips. it is pretty flexible and will come off on a bounced landing and
hi.do you still have the Electrifly PBY-Catalina? I found a bargain and may pull the trigger on it.So if it's not a big problem, could you please give me some feedback on this? Kostas
