Met my goal. Off to the hills for a few days. Meadows to mow! |

| That's exactly what I've done! RTF, then CRASH! |

| The thing is I really have no desire to build one to fly! If that bug ever bites, I shall purchase one all ready to fly, then crash it!!! |

| Bill thanks for the direction but they are all to large of scale. After the 6 ft span on my Corsair I have given up large planes....too much work and not enough display space. |

| WOW !! This is looking sharp! |

Epoxy set up. Even W/O more struts and bracing flotsam and jetsam are part of the fuse. Fabricated the Al cover plates for the float ferrules. |

Attached the engine and covered the float mounting plates with a first coat. |

| DD...I did a bit more tonight...Liquitex Cadmium Orange...I looked at the tube! Thanks my pedagogue! |

| Liquitex Cadmium Red Medium....and it looks great! |
| John M Oshust, Comment for image # 14161 | 21 Sep 09 20:38 |
| P.S. Methinks this areoplane does not look like Thomas the Tank Engine any more! |

| Thanks...after the wires are installed they will be covered in balsa and shaped. Also the Al ferrules on the floats get capped. The paint is the brand that DD uses. I have tipped a few today and cannot remember the name. The color is Cadmium something or other. Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode! |

| Thanks John, that was quite an informative tutorial. I will be interested in tomorrow's final pair of strut wires placement aft of the wing. Is this dayglo orange ? It's a great color for a bush plane. |

The four main struts are in the hands of the molecules. Tomorrow is another day. One pair of main struts are still required anterior to the lower wing cut out. I should be able to remove the foam block tomorrow and install them. A pair of bracing struts are still required as are bracing wires. |
