Canadair Power Climb

...impressive for a flying boat

The Canadair had a power-plant upgrade some time ago to the high-power higher-speed Turnigy bell motors. The Canadair also inherited a very nice Zippy Compact 2700mAh battery bought for the Trainstar floatplane.



The combination, in conjunction with smallish 7x4.5 props, means that the Canadair packs a potent wallop and is capable of indecently fast speeds. Also, with the fat power pack, it can sustain high rates of climb with no problem at all.

On a very nice cool morning I enjoyed sweeping the 
Canadair in low over the field and then climb it steeply in a full-throttle climb until it threatened to disappear from sight. Then, and just as enjoyable, I'd let it float down in a serene glide...
