I have decided the Foam Flyer has to go. It is too close to being the same as the original A90 jobbie, and I should be using the original one and it is taking up room.

It was only made to see how easy it would be to make one from 10mm Styrofoam, and it was. 100% Styrofoam. Easy to modify and fill those little dinks that accrue, ideal project if you want to dip you toe in the water of non-flying flying boats before taking the plunge.

Goes well enough on 2 or 3s Lipo, but will trot along nicely on a 6 cell Nimh.

Finish is not refined, but looks ok on the pond. Very light, equipped with 20mm Inrunner, 5.5 inch prop and servo. all included in the outrageous price, of £30. Just needs an aircraft style ESC and your own make of receiver.

Yes that's all, just covers cost of motor and servo. Collect only as a box to post it in would be massive. SW London, near Hampton Court. Can always arrange demo at Bushy Park one Sunday morning, bring a boat along as well.

Hi LB. I know you are a long time fan of the Ecranoplan. It is unfortunate you are a long way away, and sorry but I will not be near NH on Saturday! Google says it is about 1h 45mins away from me.

Unless you want to detour a bit, and as it is a bit big to post (box size 850x600x330) I would be prepared to make you a part-build one, from Styrofoam, ready shaped, that simply needed the nose, wings, tailplane and motor mount glueing together, and a bit of sanding if you would want to refine it a bit more. As it will be hand crafted it will not be identical to mine, but virtually the same!! There is a snap of the parts I had to cut out in my album, however yours would be glued together!

Items to be supplied by yourself to complete…paint, motor, prop adaptor, prop to suit, ESC, RCVR, small servo and control rod.

I didn't bother, but scope would exist for making the wings positionable for best performance and to stop it taking off vertically (depending on motor/batt combination).

Its funny but there is absolutely no torque reaction problem to these Ecranoplans, unlike several other hitherto unseen projects which suffer , some worse than others. Perhaps they are just to fast.
