Dynam DHC-2 Beaver V2 Red 4S Sea/Land Radio Controlled Float Airplane
With a 1500mm (59") wingspan, flaps, and floats, this PNP/BNF/RTF-8C model (DY8961RD) is a stunning replica of the iconic de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver. Known for its single-engine, high-wing, and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, the original aircraft has been faithfully recreated by Dynam in this EPO model, complete with intricate scale details.
This amphibious RC plane comes pre-equipped with essential electronics, including a Detrum BM3720-650KV brushless outrunner motor, TomCat Skylord-50A ESC, servos, and most linkages, significantly reducing setup time. The included floats allow for seamless takeoffs and landings on water, while the optional landing gear enables land-based operations.
Ideal for intermediate and experienced hobbyists, the Dynam DHC-2 Beaver V2 Red combines a powerful motor and advanced flight controls for smooth maneuverability. Its realistic design and meticulous attention to detail make it a joy to fly, whether youre enjoying a leisurely flight or performing competitive aerobatics.
To get started, youll need a GAVIN 8-channel 2.4Ghz radio, an MSR66A 6-channel receiver, and a 4S 14.8V 2200~2800mAh 25C Li-Po battery. With its sleek design and durable construction, this RC seaplane is perfect for exploring both water and land environments.
