That's a good idea Dan, I wonder if you made the hull V shape you could carve on the water too!!

 

Dan! Very cool
Great job on the build guys.
Any tips you want to share on ways it you could improve the design and I will try to incorporate it into the design..
Great video guys thanks for sharing looks like you had a great day

Looks good Glen.
It shouldn't have any problems turning with the motor back there.
I wonder if you will have any issues with cg.

 

Thanks

C of g is going to be a issues for sure. bigger battery and put servos as far FWD as I can will help. Hopefully won't have to add lead to it. Thats why I made it a pusher to get some air over the controll surfaces. :mrgreen:

Flying Surfer Dude Wins JR Indoor Flight Festival!!
Guys we are so excited we had to share the news!!
The Flying Surfer Dude won the People Choice AND The Most Original Design at the JR Indoor Flight Festival!!
This is too cool guys and who knows where this will lead us in the future.
When I created this design I never dreamed it would go this far!
I really was trying to help design a plane for my brother, he would love this design and I knew it.
Mike (C/F) here on RC Groups is the guy who took his modified version of the Flying Surfer Dude to the JR event and took home the gold! His version has some of the coolest graphics you have ever seen on an aircraft.

Trish and I wish we could have been there to be a part of the this cool event but we are just so busy at the moment. (Maybe next year!)
We would like to thank Mike for keeping us up to date with phone calls and PMs, he has really been great through this whole deal.
Trish and I have been so excited from the very first phone call.
Mike told us that his friends at Dream it R/C want to talk to us about a kit!! Whoo Hoo!!
So stay tuned and we will keep you up to date
Thanks guys
Mark and Trish

 

That's great. I'm not a fan of them Speedos on his surfer but I guess the judges are . His surfer did come out nice though.

 

Thanks Guys!!! Its hard to believe really!
We are hoping that Mike will pop on and show some pics of the trophy!
Mark and Trish
