| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 20-Nov-16 11:44 |  | | Views : 839 | | Not to bad of fit. I will need to fill in between the cylinder bases and round a few edges off to make it look like a metal casting. |

| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 20-Nov-16 11:41 |  | | Views : 848 | | @nd attepmt at the crankcase. After laying all the sectors out, I made the cylinder bases by slicing them off on my lathe after using the drum sander to match the radius of tht crankcase. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 20-Nov-16 11:37 |  | | Views : 904 | | First attempt at making the crankcase: Not happy. I'm not good at carving. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 19-Nov-16 10:53 |  | | Views : 976 | | All nine cylinders done. I think that this going to get complicated before it's over. I had purchased a Williams Bros. 1/12 scale radial, but it just looked to big hanging out there, even though the OL-8 is aprox 1/14 scale. |
