I have been building flite test airplanes for a long time. But the process of printing plans, cutting plans, taping plans, transferring plans, and cutting out foam was getting a little old.
I have wanted to build the Guinea for awhile, but I knew it would be a pretty big effort and thought about the speed build kit. $45 is a hard pill to swallow when you consider its really only $7 in foam board and some little pieces of ply wood, so I never pulled the trigger.

However, when I saw the SeaDuck, it was love at first sight, it was such a beautiful plane that the $45 sticker price didnt seem to bother me anymore. The kit came nicely packaged and went together like a dream. It was such a relief to not have to cut anything out, and not to go digging through my parts box for control horns, pushrods, and firewalls. it was all right there.
Building this thing was so fun but also challenging, there are a lot of big pieces that you must glue all sides at once that take patience and planning. Overall it is a very rewarding build.
Thank you Flite Test!

had a blast building this plane! it is a BIG one.
unfortunately no information was provided as to how to set-up differential motors.
So now my nice completed duck-tails plane just sits there looking at me.....

This looks fantastic! Hang on a second though! Video talks about using 4s, sales page offers 4s battery and suitable prop too! My Emaxx GT2215/09 states 2-3s, does this mean that motor is perfectly capable of running 4s?
