Arrow RC Seaplane Flight

/ Spencer Gould

Digging through the archives from the 2000s, I found this classic flight footage of my scratch-built Arrow Seaplane.

Designed by the legendary Laddie Mikulasko (the mastermind behind the iconic Northstar), the Arrow is an incredible performer on both water and in the air. This particular build featured a slightly modified nose and a standout Monokote finish.

If you want to build your own, the original RCM magazine might be gone, but the legacy lives on! Check out the free plan links below.

RC Bookcase – A ton of rc aircraft content

/ Spencer Gould

I stumbled upon an amazing web site for anyone who is interested in vintage RC aircraft magazines and catalogs available for free pdf downloads called https://rcbookcase.com/

They do have a donate link that could be well worth it to any Aviation Philantropy people out there

I subscribed to RCM From 1993 to its end in 2006 so it’s amazing to see all the high quality scans,

Many other magazines and even catalogs are available.

I can’t thank the curators enough for keeping this historical content alive on this web site, Outerzone, Buzz Sharpy on Face Book, and others.
