Today Austin, Alex, Josh, and our friend Peter venture off land with the Flyzone Tidewater.
The Tidewater is a great introduction to amphibious flight. It has forgiving flight characteristics while still retaining the capability for minor aerobatics.
One great design aspect are the smaller floats on the wings which prevent the wingtips from dipping into the water while steering on the surface.
Wether flying off water or grass the Tidewater can do it all!
If you are interested in our extremely complex boat-cam setup, we taped a Mobius to a stick. Enjoy the screens below!
The only downside to your battery dying on the water is you can't just walk out and get it.
Fortunatly for us, there were a few friendly fishermen on the waters that day. Thanks again random dudes!
Overall the Flyzone Tidewater was a blast to fly. The price can be a little disheartening for some but if you don't mind the tag we recommend trying this for yourself!
As always, thank you all for your continued support! If you're looking for a cheaper way to try out some floats and see if it's for you, check out our Snowball Conversion Kit for your FT Nutball.
