I always wanted a flying boat of some sort and after a long while I finally decided to build one. Ever since RCPowers made this F1 Hydro back in 2007 I’ve wanted one.
Well I finaly got one! and here is the build:

This is the story of my little brushless boat that I had last summer.

The plane may have look pretty mangled but the damage were not that great.
I had to boil the nose of the Easystar and glue her up again, no biggie.
Battery is fine (got to love A123).
All servos survived and no gears were broken.
OSD and the eLogger are both fine.
Camera works fine but has gotten a few battle scars.
The 300mW 1.3GHz transmitter on the other hand seems to have sustained heavy damage and the range has been reduced to practically nothing.
I have tried replacing the SMA-connector with no results…
I think I’ll have to order a new one.

Other that the EZ-Pod was damaged but nothing unfixable.
I’ll keep you posted.

I made the first page:

Wooohooo!

Oh I’m so happy!

After putting up the posters in the local grocery stores I hoped so bad that the phone would ring…

My plane is gone and i cant find it!

I was my first flight with my new Eagletree OSD.
I saw that the clouds were pretty low and not to thick so I did something stupid;
I flew above the clouds without a GPS.
It was pretty windy but I didn’t notice it while flying so high. I thought that I was closer than I was.
I fly with A123 and usually get 2100mAh out of them. But I had forgot that I had used some up configuring the OSD.

I descended to late and found myself out at sea!

I panicked and tried to desperately get back to land when the battery went flat…

We searched for hours but could not find it.

Maybe it’s out at sea.

I’ll put up some flyers to see if someone has seen it.

Wow this day sucks…

Here is a link to the thread on RCGroups if you want to discuss it

Brian at RCFlightcast wanted to see what speed I used when cutting out my wing cores so I made him a short youtube video

Yep your read right! The AitT V.2 is a Night Flyer!
And more, it flies great!
The difference is easily noticeable compared to the old AitT.

I have also changed the prop to a 4,75*4,75, changed the servos to a pair of Multiplex Nano-S and changed to a 25-35C battery.

This is not a model you fly with your mind on the dinner and I like that.
Unlimited vertical is nice too.
