RC watercraft models (PoD)

Why do seaplanes bounce when they land? Why does a seaplane make a jump upwards during take-off? Why do I have trouble going straight on take-off and keep turning in circles? Such problems are not necessarily due to the pilot's skill but are often construction related. The author Jörg Pfister shows you what is important when building your own seaplane or buying and optimising a ready-made model. The book imparts the knowledge of how simple optimisation on the model can turn water flying into a thrilling experience.
