| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 08-Jan-16 18:04 |  | | Views : 385 | | FAired, sanded, doped, covered with silkspan and doped again. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 06-Jan-16 15:34 |  | | Views : 440 | | A look at the Port side of the float with some planking left to do yet. I've been using Cyno exclusivel on this assembly just to speed the build time up. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 06-Jan-16 15:31 |  | | Views : 486 | | Planking applied to the Stbd. side of the float and the high spots sanded off with a fairing board. Much work to do yet. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 04-Jan-16 13:38 |  | | Views : 472 | | I couldn't wait to see if it fit: it does! Now to draw the RH well, install some hardwood for the L/G attachment poinits and start planking the main float. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 04-Jan-16 13:36 |  | | Views : 425 | | Holy Crap !!! Success on the first draw. I probably used up all my luck the first week of the New Year. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 04-Jan-16 13:34 |  | | Views : 399 | | ...and then I had to make a right-hand (and left-hand) master of the wheel well. These are going to be some complicated deep draws for the vac-form. Plan on using .030 styrene. |

| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 04-Jan-16 13:31 |  | | Views : 465 | | I have a plan that first required me to make a vac0form box about 7 inches square. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 04-Jan-16 13:29 |  | | Views : 473 | | The reason that I haven't been posting posting any build pictures, other that Life getting in the way, is that I have been trying to decide how to duplicate the wheel wells on the Leoning. |

| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Reference | 28-Aug-15 20:00 |  | | Views : 572 | | Hey y'all, I'm back. Short tale of woe: I cut out all of teh ribs and wing parts for the Loening last week, the found that I had used the 1/16 scale set of plans instead of the 1/12 scale. Disgusted is putting it mildly. While recovering from that Faux Pau, I decided to utilize my new minuature Lathe to whip ot a Boeing Delta II Launch Vehicle that carried teh Mars Rover "Spirit" to the Red Planet. So with James (and the general populace's approval) I will turn my corner of the site into the "Virtual Aero(space) Drome" for a while. [James if you could add "Delta II No. 298" to the scratchbuilt cagegory? |
