I just bought this plane a few months ago and just put it together. I have
a question if you can help. Plane is together went to test the motor and
make sure the blade is on correct. When running up the motor and holding
the plane in my hand it wants to pull forward but noses down ard. Does not
want to just pull forward. But forward and nose down to the ground this
seem a bit strange can’t figure out what’s wrong. Any idea? thanks

Electrifly Seawind vs Hobbico Tidewater. Wich is your favorite?
Nice flying
it is a beautiful… BOAT!
@MZMStudios It is a cool plane. Thanks for watching.
i liked the inverted flying was the inverted harder than others
Great video man, I have the 90 size Nitro 71 in. wingspan model with an OS
120 four stroke on it but haven’t flown it yet, hope to get to up real
soon. What are you doin with that Fuaba shirt on man LOL, sorry, just
giving you a hard time, I’m a JR Man, lost three planes on Futaba in 7
months so I had to switch, haven’t had a glitch sence, been three years.
Sounds like your wife gives you hard time to LOL. Take care and thanks for
sharing
Wow, I went with the Cat Pby float plane from nitroplanes few months back,
was flying this one on Realflight 55;)
The world did not end as predicted by harold camping so i can now go back
to watching these great videos
does the plane come with a battery
hey!!! great plane!!! and video!!! but what happend to the spectrum dx8????
I am about to go get one…. I hope it didnt crap out on ya??
That’s right, and so can AC motors. The bearings get unhappy about it
though–and since all model-type brushless motors I’ve heard of run on ball
bearings, they’re intolerant to water. Ball bearings have smooth ground
hardened rolling surfaces that run with zero clearance, and any rust
destroys them quickly. Plain bushings tolerate water for a little while.
This version does not come with the battery, but I do give links to all the
equipment that I used in the video notes.
Gay plane
Very nice!thanks
@lewandlo It is a very cool plane. Bu Bye! 😉
Great video, you are very good at this! If you ever get to MI I would love
to see you fly! I would let you fly my airplane’s ! it’s good to see some
one as fly good as you!
@rcplaneflyer100 And this one will fly over land with a hand launch also.
I’m going to try that on my next flight.
He knows how to fly
you make great vids!
@swas79 Me too! Thanks for watching.
Hey Eric, I’ve never flown a plank in my life but I love these RC
Seaplanes. Great review and video!
I have had my Seawind 4 yrs also and I really like the plane only have had
it on the water a couple of times and it flys off grass really well . Fly
her many times every year in my flight rotation and she keeps on tick in. I
would not recommend it to a new pilot as she likes to fly on the fast side
awesome plane !
Im I the only person. Who thinks this is really cheesy
thanks
september 17th woohooo!!
man shut the fuck up
what is it contructed out of…the battery compartment bit looks like foam
but the rest looks covered…
It looks like there is a little Cessna without wings on top of the rudder
lol.
