How many D-Cell batteries do you reckon that controller takes?
 
Dunno, but what a glorious flying site, America's a big beautiful country..:)
I was on the verge of building a smaller r/c flying boat a couple of times years ago but there was a chronic shortage of lakes and wide rivers round where I lived (cramped, crowded central england), and the only decent ones were fenced off from the public or patrolled by shotgun-toting gamekeepers, so I dropped the idea..
 
I got one now though (below)..:)
Admittedly it's only in my Flight Sim X program but i'm not picky..;)
