LOL... 7:36 "Everybody has a different sized shaft"...
That sure is a neat looking airplane. Looking forward to seeing you flying it. Thank you for sharing the video.
Float and fly coming up soon! Thanks for watching!
Like 5 great vlog and put together flying off the water was amazing lovely noise from it too great video nice plane
Glad you enjoyed it. Next video on it will be the gluing and setup.
Nice to see the “Skipper” models are still available. Funny, I’ve never actually flown mine off water! Grass and snow, yup! I found it to be almost uncontrollably twitchy until I moved to the innermost servo arm holes. Now flies like it’s on rails.
F
Good call! I will have to compare the servo arm positions and see what I have.
Did you just rip off the servo covers? I've limited servo travel to 40 %, but it would be more precise to have them at 100 % with less leverage. I wonder why they ship it in an unflyable configuration...
ORANGE MUCH EASIER TOO SEE I MUST SAY TOP ADVICE A WINNER OF COURSE NICE ONE
1:10... At least on the golf course it won't have that "stick to water" tendency on takeoff. I fly my Skipper off a grassy runway. Also have the larger Skipper XL that I haven't flown yet. So may toys... not enough time...;-)
I am afraid I won't have room to make the wide turns with all those trees on the golf course..
I want at least one flight off water before it bites the dust. :-)
@@DaveMerc I was referring to the Skipper before you removed any parts.
Oh I get it. Would have been a good test for the old Skipper to see if the sticky lift off changed taking off the grass.
Dave, listening to your old Skipper's flight at the end of this video, I don't think the motor ever went to full throttle? I wonder if a quick ESC calibration will solve the sticky issue? Both of mine get on step predictably, at which point I can tickle the elevator for a scale takeoff, or firewall the throttle and send it to the moon. I fly with either 3S 1500 graphene, just like yours, all the way up to a 4200mah 3S I made from 21700 cells, the same weight as a 2200mah Lipo.
May be worth a try. I just thought the damage to the nose and all the glue was making it act up. I want to thank you again for telling me about the DragonFly. Now it's out of stock everywhere so I never would have got one in time it you hadn't given me the heads up. Thanks!
Cool..
Thanks for the comment!
Would like to buy the dragonfly where do I buy
The first link doesn't appear to be working. Says page not found, as does clicking on the airplane link on their site.
I knew it was like that but wanted to post it because that is the actual link I used to order my DragonFly. If they get more in stock it could work later. The other link is a UK site but they are also out of stock. If you find any please post a link. I will keep locking too.
Mr. Dave tks for your efforts,.
I'm thinking about buying Motion Rcs skynetic Dragon FLY. They started out at $289.00, marked down to $186.00 after bout 30 days on site, no reviews. So it's a sleeper. So seldom are these around,. I've no water birds, like the grass slide, as well, rainy conditions, wet field at my Flying club, would keep me in air between rain while club members are grounded, lol
Not sure there is a question in your post. They will take off the grass just fine if that's what you are worried about. Keep the aileron travel or throws very small or the roll will be uncontrollable. Elevator is ok to have more travel for lift off.
There's a Depron version of this plane, it flew pretty good as I recall ...Good find Dave, we won't have access to it here in the UK though I'm guessing....
Yes I have the Depron version too. It's called the Polaris XL. I wish I had a lake closer to home where I could fly off water more often.

@@DaveMerc Thanks Dave, no stock....and it's 150 US Dollars here..
You see how we suffer here in the UK?
@@DaveMerc Polaris, yes that's it...👍👍
I feel your pain. Trump is trying to get some better trade deals, hope it works. That being said we are out of stock here too. Bummer
i hope this sell on amazon lol
Plz tell me the kv of motor prop size
prop says 6x4 in the manual. Nothing in the manual or on the box says the motor size, and it is underneath a glued on cowling, so i cant see it
manual says thrust of 850g, so estimate of 2200kv?
Sir send your PDF file
What PDF file?
This plane PDF file share me sir.

No its not ...its a rip off of The Polaris from a few years back ,....
Did you have a bad experience with one?
@@DaveMerc No i had the Polaris..but i do not like to see someone put out the plane and call it their own design ...they copied it and made a few changes so they could call it there own plane..!
