 |  My new piper!
Woohoo, I have put this plane off for six years. The new offerings by H9 made it impossible for me to ignore. The floats were a little plain so I hooked them up with a little vinyl and non skid decking for realism. This is one tight little plane. I can't wait to maiden her this spring  Ps I am going to make a cedar planked canoe and paddles for it a s well. Maybe a pair of snow shoes and or some flyrods as well. Definitely not a 3D machine .lol |

Plug and play all the way. I have always wanted one of these planes on floats. They are very nostalgic for me. I spent most of my Twenties in float planes. For some reason or another however I never put aside the time or money for one as an r/c model With the release of two plug and plays from H9 I could not pass up the opportunity of owning one finally. I have spent all of an hour putting her together. And cheap! some of my foamies are double the $ of what I have in this thing. Funny , the H9 floats were murder to install. Probably because I was expecting a very quick "perfect" install. Nope, all the mounting holes and wheel collets had to be redrilled to accomodate the over plated wire landing struts.  Aside from that frustration the thing is a charmer! I can't wait to maiden it. Sure will be differant in that the stress of the bigs ones won't be an issue. Just easy circle flying. Yah we'll see. LOL PS , as nice as it would have been I just could not see having the 1/4 scale and a grand worth tied up in a circle flyer. Maybe if I really like it. Who knows. For now though this little 40 size is perfect for my needs. I still can't beleive I'm in for only $400.00 |
