Great Planes PBY Catalina ARF

The fast, easy way to enjoy realistic seaplane adventures.

A seaplane gives R/C pilots an entirely different perspective on flying - and ElectriFly's PBY Catalina is a great way to experience the thrills of water takeoffs and landings. Top-notch materials will have fellow modelers convinced that it took weeks (or even months) to build, but this precovered ARF can be ready for action after as little as ten hours of simple assembly.

  • Easy-to-assemble seaplane beats the pontoon blues - it's not just a plane with floats.
  • Recreates the look of the 1930s-era naval military/sea rescue plane...in just hours rather than weeks.
  • Features a lightweight, beautifully hand-crafted fiberglass fuselage and factory-covered, built-up wood wing and tail.
  • Recommended RimFire twin brushless motors provide the ideal power-to-weight ratio for exciting water takeoffs and landings.
