| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 16-Jun-15 14:42 |  | | Views : 565 | | I just had to use the new toy. Turned down some PVC pipe, ala John O., to resemble rims for the OL-8. 2" diameter X 3/8" wide w/40 spoke holes drilled through them. The little white washers will be the wheel hubs when assembled. I got carried away with gizmology making the jig, it didn't have to be anywhere that complicated. |

Spent a week taking it down to the nuts & bolts, cleaning all of the ucky red grease out of it and setting it up. I'm gonna have a good time with this one. |

Covered the bottom of the Main Flaot with 1/16" basswood and sanded fair. I'm still trying to figure out the L.G and wheel wells before covering teh rest of the float and moving on. |
