Catalina 4CH Brushless Twin Power RC Sea Plane 2.4GHz
Product Description
The Catalina was an American flying boat of the 1930s and 1940s, produced by Consolidated Aircraft. It was such a versatile aeroplane that it performed numerous functions during WWII, and was used by the Air Forces, Armies and Navies of many countries.
Catalinas were used in anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, convoy escorts, search and rescue missions and cargo transport. It was the most successful aircraft of its kind and produced in greater numbers than any other flying boat. Some remained in military service until the 1980s and even today the Catalina continues to be used as an airtanker in some parts of the world.
Real Catalina Pictured below:
The Catalina has full four channel radio control allowing adjustment of the aileron, elevator, rudder, and throttle; it can even be steered when floating on the water. Yes, water! This model sea plane has been designed so that it can actually take off and land on water, the twin brushless motors it is powered with can send it soaring effortlessly from your local lake or pond, into the sky. With its wingspan of just over four and a half feet it really does look spectacular, see the video below!
The design of this aeroplane does not make it as agile as some other models, but it can pull a loop from a shallow dive and looks fantastic doing a low flypast either over land or water. In any case the power of the twin brushless motors enables it to be flown in many conditions, even when it is windy. The Catalina has been specified by Nitrotek with a powerful brushless motor, and a 2.4Ghz radio transmitter, making it a perfect choice for the enthuiast. We have also upgraded the charger from a standard one, to a balanced charger included in the price. This makes charging safer and better for the battery
The Catalina is nearly ready to fly straight from the box, all the necessary glue and tools are included in the in the carton and you will have it flying in no more than a few minutes. All you'll need are 8 AA batteries for the transmitter.
This plane is described as RTF or ready to fly, this means that everything except batteries for the transmitter is included in the box and that only a few minor stages of assembly remain, such as attaching the wings and tailplane. These steps should take around 30 minutes to complete.
