My Grandfather picked this up from an old friends house the other day. Its a 1/20 scale electric PBY. Seeing as the price to get the
radials and control to make it an actually remote control
airplane, ill most likely keep the electric engines that are in it and just make it a static airplane.

That is pretty cool. How big is that wing span?

I thought so as well. Its got a wing span of 44 inches, and the fuselage is a shad over 27 inches. Which is minus the nose which I still have to construct.

That is awsome. It would be a great thing to hang above a bar in a gameroom or something.
