| Definitely "The Next Level of Magnitude!!" Did you also fabricate the wheels? I can't seem to recall. The workmanship has me envious. |

TEst fit of all the components. I stiil need to fab the drag-links that go into the two holes of the hub up to the front of the wheel well.. |

Spent the last two days in my "machine shop" fabricating the L/G out of K&S brass tubing and strap. Getting there. |

| Rayl, don't know if your are posting on another site, but if you Google onto "Drawings of Loening OA-1A, you'll come up with photos of your build. This is especially regarding your vacuum molding the wheel wells.... |

| Rayl, by the way, if you're looking for accessories that are needed for the float, try Blue Jacket. They've got lots of nautical accessories in various sizes. |

| I agree with DD. Fascinating to see someone craft such an unusual aircraft. I hope to build the OA-1A version someday, so you're not alone. I'm really closely following your build. You are doing just great Rayl!! |

| Fascinating to see something so unusual! |

| Strange looking critter, Ray, but nice. Lots of extra work that paid off. |

Oh Yea, I made whole new set of tail-feathers cuz I didn't like the first set. I suppose now it's time to work on the landing gear (sigh). |

About a week later, I now have a new float that is straight. Been adding details out of styrene to the float and carved a motor mount ring out of basswood. |

I started to mate teh fuse to the float hull and realized that the float had a distinct curve in the keel (Bannana Boat?). So, I started all over again, including making new & better masters for the wheel wells. |

| Having a 400 sq ft "Retirement Cave" is awfully nice. The vac-form is actually 5" X 7". I use a old toaster oven to heat the plastic and a 5 gal shop-vac to draw it down: nothing extravagant by any means. |
| Skyediamonds1985, Comment for image # 35596 | 15 Feb 16 20:35 |
| Looks really good there. You are a true artiste in every sense of the word. I wanna be just like you when I grow up. Sure wish I had the room for a vacuum form machine. But a one-room apartment just doesn't allow for that. You've got the freedom to really express yourself. |

The front cockpit fairing. |
