Novel toy: radio control flying boat
February 28th, 2010 | by admin |A couple of manufacturers are offering a novel type of radio control toy – a flying boat. They are shaped more like hydroplane racing boats than fixed wing seaplanes. These unique 3-in-1 toys can be driven or takeoff from land as well as water and perform aerobatic stunts when flying. They are better handling and, in my opinion, much more fun on water than floatplanes with twin pontoons. A hydrofoam and plastic body plus brushless motor make these toys powerful and light enough for agile flying. Like other types of flying rc toys, there are models that can be bought factory assembled and ready-to-run and others that can be purchased as kits that require some assembly. Whether assembled at the factory or in your workshop, these are very nifty toys.
