maidened my catalina today not a successful one as the plane is always turning to one side always, but really enjoyed because of the funny things happened .pls watch the video

 

Who said RC isn't a seriously outdoor sport ?

So what happened, tried to lift off without enough speed ?  Or any wave activity caused this ?

This is an awesome video - it personifies the travails of the Indian RC enthusiast. I love this video!

Nice to see one good way of recovering the prop...
FROM WATER.....

i think that was not the cause,even when the plane is at 1/4 throttle it is always turning to the left ,will post some videos tomorrow

Santhosh Gi, Sorry for what happened, but I enjoyed the video. Specially the Audio part....
Who's voice is that ??

i dont know which audio part you liked most.it was on a harthal day ,so all my friends and some local people were there.it was not a successful day for me(flying), posted the videos in another thread " Catalina help needed".the UHU por glue was very useful when building catalina especially for gluing the plastic parts to the fibre glass

I have posted some comments on your Catalina help needed thread. Please let me know if you need UHU por I can spare another 2 Tubes.

So Santhosh bai also have divers in his crew.......... Funny video and audio

Really, Practical. The floater of the plane has the short height and so, fuselage stuck with water and cannot lift off the plane. The lower fuselage cannot go down for lift off.

However, thanks for the video.

Nice Vid santhosh, Especially with such an helping team nearby, Half ur problems are solved, Also its good that the voice was not replaced with music, it really helps feel the environment there.

Nice video Santhosh. (Which s/w did you use for editing ??)

Yeah, as Kalyan points why is the fuselage in water?

In big cities we hardly find any space to fly let alone think about water RC.
Great team.. Keep em coming.

Dear KALYANPRODHAN and Drone,
Catalina is 1930s-era naval military/sea rescue plane. The Fuselage was designed as float (If you observe closely it looks like the hull of a boat). The floats (short floats on wings) are only used as stabilizers to assist landing, take off and taxing.
