The Dynam PBY Catalina V2 Grey, with a 1500mm (59") wingspan, is a meticulously designed twin-engine float plane that combines functionality with historical charm. Its three-piece detachable wing makes it easy to transport and assemble, while the dual Detrum BM2815A-1100KV brushless outrunner motors deliver ample power, excellent lift, short takeoff distances, and strong wind resistance. Powered by a commonly used 3S 11.1V 2200mAh 25C Li-Po battery, this model offers 8-10 minutes of flight time, making it perfect for summer flights over lakes and other water bodies.

This remote-controlled waterplane is equipped with dual TomCat Skylord-30A ESC 2A-BEC systems, LED lights with pre-soldered connector ends, and an LED light controller for both static and flashing operations. These features enhance both its functionality and visual appeal.

The PBY Catalina, originally produced by Consolidated Aircraft in the 1930s and 1940s, was one of the most widely used seaplanes during World War II. It served in various roles, including anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, convoy escort, search and rescue, and cargo transport. Remarkably, the PBY remained in military service until the 1980s and continues to be used today as a waterbomber in aerial firefighting operations worldwide.

Dynam’s months of flight testing and design have resulted in an aircraft that is exceptionally stable and capable of maintaining flight at slow speeds, making it ideal for novice pilots to master flight mechanics. With its high-quality scale details, large 1.4m wingspan, and durable EPO foam construction, this model is sure to turn heads. Powered by twin 1100KV electric brushless motors, all you need is a GAVIN 6-channel 2.4GHz radio, an MSR66A 6-channel receiver, and a 3S 11.1V 2200mAh Li-Po battery to embark on thrilling water-based flights and patrols.

Don’t miss the opportunity to own this remarkable model and experience the legacy of the PBY Catalina. For more details, please refer to the Dynam PBY Catalina V2 Manual.
