Avios Albatross HU-16 Flying Boat 1620mm (63.7") PNF Re-Maiden by Pilot Robert
hobbyking.com/...
Avios has designed a beautiful twin-engine Albatross HU-16 flying boat. What could be better than a large monohull flying boat gracing the skies or taxing across a lake? This excellent plane is made of strong EPO foam and comes with scale plastic fittings for an extremely realistic look. It is painted in a US Navy rescue scheme of seagull gray, yellow and white for easy visibility under all conditions.
The Albatross HU-16 came into service with the United States Air Force in 1949 and was primarily designed as an amphibious plane for search and rescue missions. It was extensively used for combat search and rescue in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. As an amphibian, it could land on both land and open sea and was optimized for 4-foot (1.2m) seas but could land in heavier seas.
The Albatross is well powered by twin Aerostar 3536-850KV motors with scale 3-blade 10x6 propellers. The 30A reversing ESCs make it easier to navigate around the water. The addition of a water rudder makes maneuvering on water even easier. The built-in flaps provide plenty of lift and make landings and takeoffs look easy. The Albatross provides a great presence in the air that will look outstanding at any time and can easily do scale passes that all enthusiasts enjoy.
Get out on the water and go soaring across the sky with the Avios Albatross.
Features:
• Classic Flying Boat design
• US Navy livery with pre-applied stickers
• Twin AeroStar reversing ESCs (water resistant)
• Twin 35mm AeroStar brushless motors
• Preinstalled electronics
• Water Rudder
• Navigation lights

Shout out to Captain Robert
In the midst of all the garbage that's going on in this world these two guys never failed to put a smile on my face and remind me there are good people in tlll
Gentlemen! You capture the true spirit of the hobby! Some you fly, some you crash, but always have FUN. Like I was told many years ago, "If you are not crashing, you are not flying." So, we learn from our mistakes, have a good flight and enjoy these times. Thank you for being honest by showing the crashes, even watching a video you learn from others. Keep up the good work, I salute you both! Happy landings. Paul

Blaz, BLAZ, BLAZ, there are thousands of people out here that believe in you and ant you to succeed Weather you want it or not you are the role model for he rest of us who have crashed and wanted to give up. And look at all the fun we would have missed out on. It doesn’t matter if it’s foam, electric, or nitro. Now get out and fly it.
A message to Captain Blaz , all of us are wanting to see you fly this bird again my friend. As they say , brush yourself down and try again. You can do it , oh yeah. Big salute from the Uk. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Capt. Blaz.... gotta get back on the horse... we want to see you fly the Albatross and smile... stuff happens don't worry be happy
Love your spirit, every time i crash i feel like giving up. Your a insperation to us all. Just want see captain Blaz in the air again. Big salute
Okay.....I lost it when when you saluted the frogs!! Was having a rough night until then. Thank you for the laugh and another entertaining video! Big salute to you guys and the frogs on the river Krka and all around the world from Powell Ohio USA.
Wow wow. Great second flight and a lesson in CG for all of us. The zoom camerawork is fantastic as is the flying. The beautiful reflection in the smooth river. Just wow.
Well done Pilots good job. Don’t worry Capt Blaz we all crash remember the old quotes, when you fall off a horse get back on it straight away so it doesn’t defeat you. We are all confident in you and your skills. Can’t wait for you to get back into it. Big salute from Australia.
That was a quick fix ! I'm really glad Captain Blaz has recovered and doesn't have a stutter . :)
The BEST RC Channel on tube. I salute
Don't feel bad Captain Blaz, you flew it when the conditions were bad and very windy, Pilot Robert had the experience of learning from your experience.
Capt Blaz,, pick a good day and fight that foam demon and fly that plane. Your a good pilot and you really need to fly that plane.
Capt Blaz you know what you've got to do. You've got 15 thousand subscribes behind you, you can do it !!!
Captain Blaz, you must fly this plane again. You know what the mistakes were and are able to fix them. So, you have nothing to be afraid of! Robert showed you that. Now, as for me I'm still going to wait before I buy that one. But, wow, it sure is beautiful! You guys are the best!
One BIG thumbs up for the big beautiful warbird!
I knew she'd be back in the air quickly. Pilot rob and captain blaz always go above and beyond the call of duty. Kremsnita reward to petrincic aviation
I’m willing to bet Captain Robert was amazingly good at skipping stones as a boy. Stayed with it, never gave up, never surrendered... Great vid gents, thanks for sharing!!!
I watched and commented on the original video. Captain Blaz’ is still my hero regardless of the CG issue. Great video as usual. You guys are stars!!
That's much better than before a beautiful plane to fly by the looks of it
8:29 that flyby with reflection and sunset - wonderful ❤️. Great redemption flight! Robert, as you hopped that Albatross, I was reminded of Blaz's heroic landing of the Tundra straight onto the shore!
Good to see it up and flying so soon. Well done, guys. Capt.Blaž, your turn. Get back on the horse & leave the frogs alone. And the ducks.
Fear not Captain Blosch! The wind was too strong to be flying that plane. Scale flying is realistic and flying in bad conditions is a killer. I salute you that you check your CG or as you say it, G Spot, on all your planes. If nothing else gets said, CG check can never be said enough. Most critical! Salute! Carl the cgul
Nice evening, nice weather and a lovely flight. BIG thanks for nice effort and video captains.
You are both, very fine pilots, I salute you both.

Great video in the sun set. That plane sounds like an EDF
Great video, beautiful plane! Cheer up Captain Blaz. You will get your confidence back as soon as you take to the air again!
Redemption flight. Thanks for the info. I crashed my Albatross just Monday on its 1st flight due to CG by manual. I will now use 80cm this Monday again and get my redemption flight. Capt. Blaz, please go have fun and fly it again. Always a joy watching you guys!!!
You are both excellent pilots, mistakes happen, the plane was barely damaged, and still flies great. Its not if you fall, its what you do when you stand up.
Hey brothers, that was just a wonderful, fun, beautiful late afternoon flight on a pretty river in your home town !! What more can you ask for ? Success.... OH YEAH !!!! Steve.
congratulations, love the low pass at 9:50 !!! We want Capt. Blaz back at the sticks !

I think my heart skipped a beat on that landing.
Great accomplishment ! Beautiful surroundings and a wonderfull sunset ! Capt Blaz give it a go !
Congrats on the re-maiden flight. Glad the plane survived the bouncy landing, so it lived to fly another day.

Thanks my friend. I just love good fun with planes.
I have been flying rc for almost 50 years. On a few occasions I have launched an airplane on it’s first flight only to quickly realize that it was tail heavy. Each time that this happened all I could do was land as soon as possible while trying to minimize the damage. Blaz did a great job keeping it airborne as long as he did and in doing minimal destruction.
Congratulations on a good second maiden. The CG looks much better. Beautiful plane! Salute from Tennessee!
I've been watching your channel for several months, it helped me get through a long winter. You guys are the greatest. I really like the countryside also. It looks like a beautiful country, the river looked like here in Wisconsin. I knew you'd get that plane fixed and in the air today and very glad you did. I kept checking for an update on the crashed plane; it looked like trouble from the start yesterday. What a great channel, thanks. Mike from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. USA
You gents never give up! That is the way to be!
Great redemption and cograts on loosing your virginity Capt. Robert. Capt Blaz - In the spirit of the Petrinčič brothers "Never Give Up". The entire world supports you, and waits for your next flight. We all miss the G-spot sometimes, and we all crash sometimes. We will support you even if you crash 100 times. But I'm sure you won't. Looking forward to your next flight on the Rescue-FROG
Great job capt. Robert hey.....hope to see capt. blaz back on the sticks soon, you can do it blaz hey...we all have shit to happen hey, sexy plant,that’s why I ordered one hey...thanks for sharing guys 👍🏼👊🏼
Yes Capt, blaz your back at the yoke of the beautiful baby Albatross ! lets go . Capt, Robert nice flight fly along level to water ease back the throttle and, perfect landing . Maiden shall not be over for this bird redemption capt ,Blaz ! Salute
Nice water maiden, You did great my friend!!! OH YEAH!!!! DIS IS IT!
It’s already Saturday morning in Slovenia, but that was a excellent re-maiden flight with that sexy plane, Captain Robert. Your fans around the world are waiting for Captain Blaz to try and fly it again also. Captain Blaz should bring a Karlovacko (or 2) to the river to enjoy after his flight!
Thanks for sharing a beautiful afternoon on the river with a beautiful sexy sea frog . I'd settle for that any day in the USA the crew survived !!
Excellent catch on that landing Robert, and good advice on locating the CG. All us Frogs give a big salute to you both. Ribbit 🐸
Very nice flight Robi...on a very nice Place! This Bird Looks fantastic! Blaz you have to try it again! Cheers my Brothers

That was a great redemption flight pilot Robert considering you popped your cheery flying on the water.
I agree. Capt. Blaz. You have got to fly it again. " get back on the horse!"
I saw that landing, and man, I was laughing my ass off... ja ja ja, and it made it! Magnificent footage! I dont like foamies, but its so easy to repair, a balsa plane would be trashed!
One thing about crashing, you HAVE to get back on that horse and ride again. Glad to see it back together and flying again. Everyone said CG was wrong. There are only two planes that fly with the wrong CG. One that made it up and both that crashed on landing. I remember my experience with CG. The thing is, as soon as it takes off, you know you are screwed. Its a real sick feeling in your stomach as you are all over the sky. I dont get 900 comments at all for my site. Lol. Captn Blaz, get out there and fly!
OH YEAH! Perfect redemption flight Captain Robert and Captain Blaz!. Now I must go QUICK and Why because your video is making me late to go to work!. Congratulation on the repair!. Captain Blaz don't feel bad, and get flying again QUICK!.
Very Nice guys! I knew we would see it fly by the weekend. Good come back!!! Salute!
More importantly look at that fantastic weather!!!!!
