Voisin Hydroplane

It's an interesting Peanut Scale design that flies well enough to have won at the 1984 FAC Nats and the 1985 U.S. FF Championships at Taft.

BETWEEN 1910 and 1912 Gabriel Voisin of France built and flew a number of canard pusher biplanes, all of which were inspired by the Santos DuMont 14-bis of 1906. The various configurations included landplanes, amphibians, and several hydroplanes. The particular hydroplane presented here in Peanut Scale model form flew in 1911 and was powered by a seven-cylinder Gnome rotary engine. The model is not meant for flying from water, but if you have the nerve and a good place to try rise off-water flights, it would be fun to try.

The model is fairly simple and straightforward in construction. Lightweight 1/20 sq. balsa is used for most of the structure, which should be kept as light as possible.

Thank you for Looking
