Can any body remember this?

I'm sure i have seen it a model boat magazine with a plan?

I think it was test boat for the actual pontoons that went on a plane?

Hi John

It looks something like a Percival Proctor 6 Floatplane but I can't remember seeing it before in any magazine.

Interesting, a bit of a hybrid. Looks odd..looks as if the wings are missing. Appears to have a serious motor with it though?

I am not sure I would want it curried though, perhaps a stew…

Yes looks odd but interesting, just wondering how you would control it with no rudder?

Any idea's?

John

[ashley needhamParticipant @ashleyneedham69188]

John, good point…no rudders in the floats to be seen, one would have to put one behind the prop…and this would spoil the sleek lines somewhat. It does not appear to have been fitted with a rudder, or even access to any gear..motor mount?? batteries? radio aerial (no 2.4G then).

One wonders if was designed to be controlled at all, or just a straight/free runner??

Could be one of those tethered racers without control or rudders.
