The Grumman HU-16 Albatross is a large twin radial engined
amphibious flying boat that saw service with the US Air Force, US
Navy and the US Coastguard. It's primary role was Search and
Rescue and was used extensively in Korea for combat rescue and
very quickly gained a reputation as a rugged and seaworthy airplane.
The Avios Albatross captures the looks and ruggedness of the full
size seaplane beautifully and it is right at home taking off of water but
equally happy sliding along a smooth grass runway for take off. The
version we have decided on is the US Navy air-sea rescue scheme
and is supplied with all the decals pre-applied and includes landing/
take-off flaps. The Albatross boasts many other features, these
include water resistant, reversible Aerostar ESC's, water rudder and
navigation lights.
The Avios Albatross is the same quality that you have come to expect
from the Avios brand and is also very straightforward to build due to
the low parts count.
