    BalsaDust I disagree with you on the ARF's The one you see in the video's I did my own mods on and flew the crap out of it for 3 years before I sold it.

    I have 5 Planes that are designated just for what I call (SNOW FLOATER'S) the Carbon Z 150, Big Timber, Mini Timber, a Cub, and now the E-1500 Twin Cargo plane. I leave the floats on all of them year round. Fly them all off snow and water. One thing I do like about the E-1500 is the ease, and...

    Here is the video I took of the E-1500. Landing was less then perfect but the ski's do not work in these conditions and IMHO are not worth using they are to week, after inspecting what happened I can see what made them fail. There is not enough length for the front ski mounts.The front axle...

    Snoopy1. The ease of switching out from wheels to floats and just adding ski's is one of the many reason I purchased one. To add the ski's takes less then minute. Switching from wheels to floats can be done in about 10 minutes, no linkage to mess with and no readjusting. Just pull the front...
