It can adeptly maneuver, turning both left and right with precision. Once airborne, the seaplane showcases its aerial prowess, ascending and descending and allowing for smooth left and right turns in mid-flight. Coupled with two batteries, pilots can indulge in over 24 minutes of flying time, allowing for extensive exploration and enjoyment.
VERSATILE TAKEOFF CAPABILITIES & 2 SPEED MODES: This RC airplane embodies versatility and adaptability. With the unique capability to launch from the ground, be hand-tossed into the air, or glide effortlessly from water, it offers pilots flexibility unlike any other. To enhance the flying experience, it's equipped with two-speed modes, ensuring both novices and seasoned flyers can find their perfect pace. Whether launching from a lakeside or your hand, a plane promises an exhilarating experience
ENGINEERED FOR PRECISION & SAFETY: The RC floatplane operates on a 2.4 GHz radio system, ensuring a reliable and interference-free connection over max 500ft distances. It also enhances the safety of flights with two features. The onboard low battery alert notifies pilots when it's time to return or land, preventing unwanted power depletion during flight. Moreover, the out-of-range warning serves as an added layer of protection, alerting users if the seaplane ventures too far from the controller.
DURABILITY, RESILIENCE & ADAPTABILITY: Made from crash-resistant EPP material, this plane is designed to withstand impacts, reducing the risk of damage during minor crashes or rough landings. Stands out with its advanced waterproof design, offering pilots peace of mind during over-water adventures. Notably, should the unexpected happen and the plane capsizes on the water, its built-in features and controls ensure it isn't stranded, it can still be maneuvered back.
GIFT FOR BUDDING AVIATORS & VETERAN FLYERS: Our RC plane is the epitome of convenience and accessibility. Designed as 'RTF,' it eliminates the complex setups, allowing pilots to take to the skies shortly after unboxing. Its intuitive controls and user-friendly design make it suitable for all ages, from young enthusiasts getting their first taste of flight to seasoned pilots looking for a reliable craft. It's a perfect blend of simplicity and fun, promising memorable moments for everyone.

Introduction to UAV Systems (Aerospace Series)
Introduction to UAV Systems
The latest edition of the leading resource on unmanned aerial vehicle systems
In the newly revised Fifth Edition of Introduction to UAV Systems, an expert team of aviators, engineers, and researchers delivers the fundamentals of UAV systems for both professionals and students in UAV courses. Suitable for students in Aerospace Engineering programs, as well as Flight and Aeronautics programs, this new edition now includes end-of-chapter questions and online instructor ancillaries that make it an ideal textbook.
As the perfect complement to the author’s Design of Unmanned Aerial Systems, this book includes the history, classes, and missions of UAVs. It covers fundamental topics, like aerodynamics, stability and control, propulsion, loads and structures, mission planning, payloads, and communication systems. Brand-new materials in areas including autopilots, quadcopters, payloads, and ground control stations highlight the latest industry technologies.
The authors also discuss:
A thorough introduction to the history of unmanned aerial vehicles, including their use in various conflicts, an overview of critical UAV systems, and the Predator/ReaperA comprehensive exploration of the classes and missions of UAVs, including several examples of UAV systems, like Mini UAVs, UCAVs, and quadcoptersPractical discussions of air vehicles, including coverage of topics like aerodynamics, flight performance, stability, and controlIn-depth examinations of propulsion, loads, structures, mission planning, control systems, and autonomyPerfect for professional aeronautical and aerospace engineers, as well as students and instructors in courses like Unmanned Aircraft Systems Design and Introduction to Unmanned Aerial Systems, Introduction to UAV Systems is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking coverage of the latest industry advances and technologies in UAV and UAS technology.
Simplified UAV Design for Students
Every year, hundreds of students participate in UAV design competitions such as AIAA Design Build Fly or SAE Aero Design: Each team has less than one school year to design, build, and fly an airplane, ranging from a small remote-control airplane to a large autonomous vehicle capable of flying itself and of dropping packages (or even smaller airplanes) that land on a target.
For students without an aeronautical engineering background, who are majoring in fields like mechanical engineering or computer science, many questions naturally arise, such as:
• What wing area is necessary for good flight characteristics?
• How are the optimal aspect ratio and wingspan determined?
• What is a realistic weight goal for an aircraft of this size and engine power?
• How is the best airfoil selected?
• What is the ideal length for the tail cone / tail boom(s)?
• How are the sizes of the tail fins and control surfaces calculated?
• Fewer ribs require a thicker spar, so… What rib spacing will lead to the minimal total structural weight of the wings?
• How can a wing spar be designed that has the required strength and stiffness as well as minimal weight, while also allowing the wing to be easily disassembled into multiple sections for transportability?
• What electronic components are typically found in an RC airplane? How do they work? How can their required capabilities for my airplane (e.g. power and torque) be calculated?
I have mentored multiple groups of students. This book collects my answers to these questions, mostly consisting of step-by-step analyses that use methods and best-practices from the aeronautical industry, from engineering textbooks, and from the expertise of RC airplane builders and ultralight designers.
This book is also a great resource for any hobbyist who wants to design and build an RC airplane while doing at least a little bit of engineering beyond “That looks about right” or “I’ll just copy the way it’s done in similar airplanes”. The simplified analyses in this book can be done by anyone with an understanding of high-school physics and will allow for an airplane that has minimal weight and minimal drag while being able to perform a desired mission (i.e. carrying a desired payload at a desired speed, and being able to take off and land on a desired runway length and to climb out at a desired angle).
The same principles apply to designing an airplane that can carry one or more humans… but, for that, I recommend Daniel Raymer’s Simplified Airplane Design for Homebuilders, a terrific book that was my main inspiration for writing Simplified UAV Design for Students. (In other words: Please do not trust your life to a vehicle that was designed using the simplified equations in my book!)
