Disney's TailSpin-Inspired RC Airplane Build Kit
Introducing the FT Sea Duck WR - the iconic aircraft from Tale Spin brought to life in an RC plane. Build, fly, and relive aviation dreams with this twin-engine marvel.
FT Sea Duck WR (1422mm)
OH-WEE-AY!!... OH-WE-OH!!...
Welcome a real flying version of an iconic aircraft from an aviation themed cartoon called Talespin to the FLITE TEST FAMILY... The FT SEA DUCK!! One of the goals behind making this plane was to celebrate other community members who have designed similar versions of the Sea Duck. We also wanted to demonstrate the abilities of this cartoon made real along with giving ideas on fun activities you can do to keep the inspiration going long after a cartoon or show has ended. Keeping the DREAM ALIVE!
This plane is a twin engine, 3-channel airplane. It is an amazing machine to build and even more fun to FLY! The FT Sea Duck uses differential thrust capabilities which makes maneuvering on the water a breeze!! Another awesome thing that this plane brings with it is, even though it is a sea plane, it flies great from a position on land as well for people who do not live near water or where water is not easily accessible! If you are looking for a FIRST twin engine airplane, you have found it! As you build this plane you will see that it was designed to fit either the B-twin power pack or the C-twin power pack for versatility (recommended)! This plane was engineered to allow for people to be creative and go flying with their transmitters as well as their imaginations to build or fly something they maybe thought was iconic in their own aviation upbringing! We are hoping this plane brings you as much fun as it has brought us.
LET'S FLY!!

Great Plane
I spent quite a while building it and then painting it which was fun. Have flown it a couple times now and it flies great, easy to take off from the water and land even though I’m not a great pilot. The only thing that caught me was at the start one motor was producing more power than the other one but after a quick calibration it was fixed. I would highly suggest this plane to anyone.

Sea Duck
This is my favorite FT build - I'm on my third version. It flies amazingly well - as both a cruiser and an acrobat. The differential thrust is a game changer. I modify mine to beef up the nose section. I've upgraded the motors and run a 4S battery, which fits into a tight 5 sided slot in the battery compartment. I waterproof it as much as I can, but flying off the water is hard on the foamboard, esp. the elevator. But it flies equally well off grass, of course. I highly recommend this airplane.

First Plane, worked out great!
This was my first successfully flying aircraft. I also built the simple cub but crashed seconds after takeoff. I put this plane together, and after some time on the simulator, I was able to fly and land this plane several times without issue. Great plane, very fun. I also have an aeroscout but I feel like this seems to fly better...maybe cause it's bigger? Anyway I love this kit and I'm probably going to get a second one soon!!
Thank you Flite Test for making this hobby low cost and approachable for all of us!!
