Amphibious Waterproof RC BoatGyro-Stabilized EPP
— About This Product
Why choose between a plane and a boat when you can have both? The Amphibious Waterproof RC Plane-Boat does exactly what its name promises — it flies, it floats, it lands on water, and it takes off again. The waterproof EPP foam airframe handles both media without compromise: stable and responsive in the air thanks to a 6-axis intelligent gyroscope, and buoyant and manoeuvrable on the water surface. Three launch options — from the water surface, from a land runway, or hand-launched from your palm — mean you're never dependent on specific conditions to fly.
For RC enthusiasts who find single-medium aircraft limiting, for pilots who want the seaplane experience without the complexity of a dedicated watercraft, and for anyone who has watched a floatplane make a water landing and immediately wanted to try it themselves. The amphibious mode unlocks flying locations that fixed-gear planes can't access — waterfront parks, lakesides, and coastal areas become viable flying sites.
The waterproofing is integrated into the foam construction rather than being a surface treatment — the airframe itself is water-resistant, protecting the electronics and motor during water operations. The gyroscope system manages the transition between flight modes and compensates for the different aerodynamic demands of low-speed water taxi and high-speed climbing flight. The 6-axis stabilisation means the aircraft holds level flight automatically when you're not actively inputting, making it genuinely accessible for pilots who are newer to RC aviation.
Who Is This For
Perfect for RC aviation enthusiasts who want to expand their flying locations beyond standard airfields and parks. Great for beginners who want a forgiving, gyro-stabilised aircraft that offers something genuinely unique. An excellent gift for anyone who loves both aviation and water activities and wants a hobby that combines them. Ideal for pilots who frequent lakesides, beaches, and waterfront parks.
Safety & Age Guidance
Recommended for ages 14 and up. Operate well clear of swimmers, boats, and restricted waterways. The aircraft is waterproof, but avoid submerging it fully — water operations are for surface taxi and water takeoffs, not submersion. Follow all local RC aircraft and waterway regulations. Battery included.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it take off directly from the water surface?
Yes — water surface takeoff is one of the three launch modes. The hull generates lift from the water as speed increases, transitioning cleanly into flight without requiring a ramp or hand launch.
What happens if it capsizes on the water?
The buoyant EPP foam airframe keeps it afloat. The waterproofing protects the electronics. You can retrieve it from the water and continue operations once it drains.
