US Coast Guard PBY Catalina from Avios

Details

The Avios PBY Catalina Seaplane is a highly detailed RC model inspired by the iconic WWII flying boat, finished in a striking U.S. Coast Guard scheme. Known for their expertise in seaplanes, Avios delivers excellent performance and build quality in this Plug-N-Fly model.

Made from durable EPO foam, the Catalina features counter-rotating brushless motors, reverse ESCs for precise water handling, and scale retractable tip floats. A click-in wing system simplifies transport and setup, with built-in quick connectors for LEDs, servos, and float retracts. Optional upgrades include a servo-operated nose turret and water rudder for added realism.

Easy to assemble and fly, this model excels on both water and grass runways. Whether cruising low over a lake or making smooth landings, the Avios Catalina combines heritage looks with modern features — making it a standout for any RC pilot who enjoys scale flying and amphibious adventures.

  • A PNF stand-off scale model of the legendary PBY Catalina seaplane
  • Scale, electronic retractable tip floats, optional servo-operated nose turret
  • Click on system for the wing tips with quick connections for the servos, and retractable wing floats (servos and float system are splash-proof)
