The PBY Catalina was manufactured by United Aircraft Corporation in the 1930s and 1940s and was one of the most widely used seaplanes during World War II. It was used for anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, escort, search and rescue, and cargo transport.
The Dynam PBY Catalina V2 is a twin-engine remote-controlled seaplane with a three-piece detachable wing that is easy to assemble. The aircraft has a 1500 mm (59 in) wingspan and dual Detrum BM2815A-1100KV (clockwise and counterclockwise) brushless motors. The RC plane comes standard with a 3S 11.1V 2200mAh Li-Po battery that provides 8-10 minutes of smooth flight, making it ideal for lake flying. At the same time, it is equipped with dual TomCat Skylord-30A ESCs 2A-BEC and LED lighting (with pre-soldered connectors), and a light controller for static and flashing modes to better observe the position and status of the aircraft.
Dynam's version is the result of extensive flight testing and offers stable low-speed performance, perfect for beginners. And powered by dual 1100KV motors, it's always ready to take off - just add the GAVIN 6CH 2.4GHz radio, 6CH receiver and 3S 2200mAh battery and you're ready to fly.
