Beaver Float Project
Today my friend and I bored, thought about what we could do to waste time. The thought of floats popped into both of our heads. We started to repair my Beaver because it had some major repairs needed. The horizontal stab was broken and the vertical also so my friend put balsa in for the foam stabs. While I made floats out of packaging for a new tv we just bought. Well after an afternoon's worth of work here is what we've got. Still in the testing stages. It's a little tail heavy so we'll add a little weight on the nose tomorrow and hopefully it'll fly great then out to the pond for some marine action.

RE: Beaver Float Project
It took a while, but we almost got a flight in but the cg was way off, to tail heavy and would stall out in 10 ft. The network that i saw this on was DIY.. pretty cool stuff but we made our own floats instead of buying them...... Tomorrow it goes off water........
