Now that brought a smile to my face. |

finally was able to stand her up on her floats! I still need to make a prop and apply the cabin and windscreen glazing..add the panel and control surface lines etc.. |

thank you, Ray - it has been a fun project. I built the old Sterling kit many years ago in the stick and tissue format. I was not a very good 'build to fly' modeler so it took no time at all to re-kit itself.. but I love this gull winged golden age classic |

It floats my boat :) |

They look good. That was a tricky bit on the Beaver. |

I guess that means I need to work on the glazing..get the windscreen and cabin windows cut to size and so on. |

so tomorrow is strut fabrication day. The wing struts, the horizontal tail struts, and the float struts all need to be fabricated. I also want to get a coat of primer on the floats and the airframe if possible. Then we'll see what's what. |

I agree ray - I'd mount 'em on my car if I could! |

Looks sweet Heywood!! Floats forever! |

not on this example. The image I am working from has tubular float struts. These are the core struts, they will be inserted into the proper diameter aluminum tubing for final assembly. the rear struts are a slightly larger diameter but are also round tubing. |

Looks GOOD to me HW ! Will you be laminating two pieces of balsa around the float strut wires and sanding to shape? |

isometric view of the approximate float installation. Looks about right to me - tell me what you guys think..there will be an additional support strut - like an -N- cabane setup for biplanes, aft of the trailing strut pictured here. |

crossbar installation |
heywooood, Comment for image # 39416 | 29 Sep 17 14:56 |
the floats are nearing completion - this is just a quick look at the angles and dimensions of their installation |
