FT Sea Otter
THE FT SEA OTTER is taking the sea by storm... and the AIR by surprise!!
This plane is "Otter-ly" amazing! Whether you are flying off water, snow or land this the SEA OTTER does it all! The newest model from Peter "Mad Scientist" Sripol brings the sea plane design to a whole new light. Peter designed this plane to allow for newer pilots to be able to have a simpler design for a better overall sea plane intro experience. This might not be a "FIRST PLANE" for most people, but it is definitely a great intermediate option! This plane flies wonderfully and feels great in the air and looks great on the water. We hope you have as much fun flying it as we did! LET'S FLY!

Love ft and the way they do business
Love the plane, but I don't seem to have enough power with the b pack. It will not take off from water. It will barely stay in the air with a hand launch, also using 3s 2250 mah. Any thoughts or should I go to c motor. Maybe I put to much glue in it?

Yay For Water Planes!
Got my first maiden in the other day, this plane is fun! Next will be the Seaduck when it's released!

Great Kit!
I bought the speed build kit and power pack B. As with all the speed build kits, this one is going together nicely. Peter did a great job with the build video as well. I did have to supply an extra servo extension for the elevator servo as the extension provided could have been a little longer. Other than that, everything has been sweet!
