Bill's E-flite ICON A5 1.3m Amphibious RC Plane Flight On Lake Whatcom

This was a fun adventure with the E-flite ICON A5 1.3m Amphibious RC Plane's second flight with Bill on Lake Whatcom. He pushed the limits a few times, but was able to get it down in one piece.

Here is how Horizon Hobby describes it:

"Like its full-scale inspiration, the E-flite® ICON A5 park flyer makes it easy to discover the thrill of amphibious flight. This Plug-N-Play version comes with a powerful brushless motor, ESC and servos installed. All that's left for you to do is complete a little final assembly, install the receiver, charge a battery and fly!

Officially Licensed by ICON Aircraft
The officially licensed airframe and trim scheme are based that of the full-scale aircraft so you can enjoy the most realistic experience possible.

Integrated Hull with Removable Landing Gear
One of the distinguishing features of the ICON A5 is its integrated hull and Seawings design that makes water takeoffs and landings remarkably easy. The model’s hull has been designed so that it not only looks realistic but provides the same pilot-friendly handling on the water as the full-scale version. If there’s no water around but you have a suitable patch of pavement, bolt-on landing gear with a steerable nose wheel is included so you can fly almost anywhere and even as a parkflyer.

Big Battery Hatch with Cockpit Details
The entire cockpit section is magnetically secured and easily removed for unfettered access to the model’s spacious battery compartment. The cockpit itself boasts a tinted windshield, painted pilot figure, seatbacks and an instrument panel.

Durable Z-Foam™ Airframe
The airframe is constructed of tough Z-Foam material that is inherently water resistant and can handle the demands of amphibious flying."

He also flew his E-flite Carbon-Z Cessna 150 2.1m BNF Basic RC Plane off of floats for the first time later that day. Look for that footage on my channel. It was awesome!

Perhaps I should mix it up next with the Freewing F-18 Blue Angel 90mm or that new E-flite P-39 instead since I love my bigger E-flite Viper so much too lol
