MODEL T

Eclipson Model T is a radio control seaplane and taildragger plane specifically designed to be printed. Thanks to his rectangular wing and high lift airfoil is very stable and can fly quite slow with their flaperons down, a great trainer!. The taildragger version has a wing loading of only 25 g/dm2, which is really low for a 3D printed airplane.  Printed water rudder is included, with only one servo you will move both, the water and air rudder due to an ingenious design concept.
The landing gear is very tough, hard landing will be absorbed by the deflection of steel rods, you are free to choose the wheel diameter that you want depending on your take off terrain, by choosing big wheels you will have a fantastic bush plane capable of taking off and land from rough strips or grass.
