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.

The underside shows the built-in left aileron deflection. For low wing war birds like this, this (or a drag flap) is essential to keep the plane from spiralling to the left.

This dive bomber is built for rubber powered flying and came in at a reasonable 71g, without rubber.

I covered the model with domestic green tissue. Before applying the tissue, I chalked the underside with dark gray. This made the green more drab, and more opaque.

This is a Dumas kit 315 Aichi Type 99 "Val". JAMES could you please add this aircraft type. I built the wings with removable outer panels. Here the bottom is tissue covered but not shrunken.

The Reliant joins the Peanut Christmas Tree which has grown a little over the last couple years. MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

The large prop is quite non-scale but a necessity for a long flight.
