Here's a sweet little Beaver! This is the DHC Beaver 25E ARF avalible mid March. The Bever is one of the new electric models in Horizon's Platinum Series of planes. The Platinum Series are highly detailed scale models of classic planes. It has a 68"WS and can either be flown off tera firma, or you can get the optional floats for some water action! The recommended power system is an Eflight Power 25 or a Power 32 if you are flying off water. Both power systems run on 3s 3200mAh batteries and weigh between 4.9lbs to 6.2lbs depending on if you're going with floats or not. Priced at $159.99

I asked, but apparently there are no plans for a TURBO-Beaver. Too bad. A kerosene powered Beaver would be just the ticket for those flights deep into the bush.

So for now, we have to settle for the stock piston Beaver.

I would purchase an 80" turbo beaver for sure. Put the power system out of the EF 60" Extra in it on 6S and a 12" prop and it would sound like a turbo prop when it ripps!
