Making DIY Pontoons / floats for an RC Airplane

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Making pontoons is not that complicated when following simple rules for the design. We are using the same airplane made in a previous video, the Joytrainer, (based on the design Simple Storch from Flitetest) a good airplane for beginners.
Seaplanes are boats that can fly or airplanes that can float, either way, they’re cool because they can do both things, the good part is that we don’t need a runway because they can take off and land on water, which is the thing that happens to be 71% of the earth surface. Let’s see how we can design some floats for our airplanes.

    Excellent video. Just the right balance. One place where the water usually gets in is the water rudder post hole. You were spot on filling the floats with foam - very little extra weight and insurance against total sinking plus it would give extra strength length-wise in the float. Look forward to more.

    I use depron and cover it with scotch tape.. sticky tape.. depends on what u call it. Do it with overlap of more than 50% and it becomes pretty much water resistant

    Great project, looks and works great. I've been playing with colored wing tape (which I got from hobbyking) to make my foamboard creations look nicer. It's basically shipping tape that is colored, but also very thin and light. That might help with the discolorations some of your foaming glue caused as well as additional waterproofing. It looks to me like you are using too much elevator in your water take-offs - you want the plane to kind of lift/bounce itself off the water when it has enough speed to break surface tension. Try to only use enough elevator to prevent prop strikes on the water - you can probably back off elevator as you speed up - down to 20% or so at take off. If it doesn't want to take off without lots of elevator, you might need to add a little wing incidence by adding a 3-5mm shim under the front of your wing on the fusealage, or by just decreasing the height between the back of the pontoons and the tail of your plane.

    Thanks for your ideas. I'm pretty sure I wasn't using too much elevator in the second try, but I have to because otherwise there's a risk of dipping the nose of the pontoons and crash. But it actually takes off very easy.

    I am making tiny floats for my mini mustang p51D. Without a rudder in the floats, it is hard to maneuver on water but i almost got it working... Will make a video if it works My first rc plane was an Art Tech Coota , a water plane and since then I got the waterplane fever

Y asiendo que uno se enamore mas del aeromodelismo. Saludos y se te sigue desde la isla de CUBA.
