I always add electrical tape to the canopy to avoid water getting in the fuselage. I also dip the ESCs in "Corrosion X", a fantastic product I use in all my seaplanes.
The Widgeon is still in the box; when it arrived the 2 nacelles were broken. I emailed TowerHobbies but the nacelles are backorder. They tell me they will ship new ones no charge as soon as they become available. |

Hey now,
The nacelles aren't packed well. Every set I've seen including mine are cracked at least a little. No wonder they're back ordered. Otherwise a nice enough looking model. Mine hits the lake Sunday. RobII |
