I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Finished, balanced and weighing in at 33.8g (1.39oz), without rubber. This is a good weight for indoor flying and may even be able to R.O.G. off a smooth floor. Unfortunately I built the float struts too short and needed to use a smaller home-build 3 blade balsa prop instead of the kit prop.

The struts for the floats are supported by very thin steel wire. They have quite a bit of flex and I will need this in order to land safely on a hard gym floor.

I embellished the engine with a balsa disk with straight pins stuck into it. I trimmed the pins to just fit in the cowl.

I liked the fact that there are float plans in the kit - although I didn't follow the plans exactly. I only used a few bulkheads and stringers and sheeted everything with 1/32 contest balsa. They look a little heavy but weight in at a reasonable 9.2 grams.

This is a nicely designed model with good parts fit. I am building this Beaver for indoor free flight, so I want to make it light. I trimmed out a great deal of balsa and replaced some pieces with 1/32 wood.
