  I spent the last 2 days in front of my pc screen designing all the decals , ( Greek ones )  that  the plane
has around  and after I transferred them into the plane's scale, I cut them with a Vinyl Cutter .
  Fortunately  I have available to me a ...Good... Old  Roland  Vinyl Cutter  so ,
all this process does not cost me anything .

  The vinyl decals are more in number  because they are for 2 planes  ... my CL 215   and the CL 415 of  my  friend ,  pappy.

I do not think most modelers understand how much reaserch and design go into the entire model design. On some models I am working on the documentation collecting hour have out weighed the design time! I was going to do a CL-415, but I am going to opt for the Dornier CD-2! It ais a sweet looking amphibian.

Again your work is excellent, I have learned so much from the various giant scale scratch builders on this site! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

I have to admit that we kinda make a hell of a team!!!
I take pics of the planes and the details as well as measuring them and he scales them down!!!!

When i first started to build my CL-415 some 9 months ago i was browsing around and luckily i dropped on this subject!!!
2 people building the same plane (almost!!) in the same town!!!
I lost count on how many times working together we came up to solutions and solve numerous problems.
I dont remember any more how many times during night - very late- we phoned each other (more from my side!!!).

Hello Andres ...
Welcome to our group. I am glad to know that one more fellow decide to build the CL.
I have not enough time to work on CL due to my job and family...
After I finished the mold (as you can see in earlier post) I left the construction of the water tank for the end...
Plans ?... Yes, I have, but not written down...
You'll see photos after I will finish the whole construction of the water tank...
This period with the little time I have, I'm trying to finish the glassing .

Hi Grinder...
Cool pic... Yes.. But very bad situation.
The fire was huge and the CLs were flying consecutively for five days.
That's why I "lost" my friend Pappy for a month now... He works as a mechanic on CLs.

( Pappy...που είσαιιιιιιιιιιιιι ????? )

Soon he will be back. The plane is already planked and smoothed. It is ready to be glassed.
Stand by for further action in this thread!!!

Status: offline 		Happy New Year to everybody........( though it is rather late for that )......

As " pappy69 " mentioned above , some personal problems kept me away from my
construction for a quite a long time.....
Lately I have slowly restarted constructing the Canadair , so I will keep you posted
about the next stages of the construction .

Don, Thanks for your kind words .

Status: offline 		...Recently (when I had free time ) , I did the final finishing of the Main Gears.
When , quite a long time ago , I had made the aluminium parts , (post 168 to 173)
the procces had been proved time consuming and painful experience
( it took me about 4 - 5 months ) , because as I had already mentioned ,
my machines ARE NOT cnc .
So when the Main Gears took their shape and turned out to function properly , I quit
dealing with them .
You can see them in the 2 pics as they looked after the initial proccesing .

Status: offline 		The idea of constructing the arms of the upper gear leg using Fully Threaded Rods
was really good , because that makes possible a micrometric adjustment by rotating
the rods , in a way that the whole construction works flawlessy .

Thanks to Dumas designs , the mechanism which locks the upper locking/unlocking
system , to " open " position was constructed and it works perfectly ,as long as you
calculate precisely the holes and cuts .

....That I learned the hard way , because I had to make the top parts .....twice......

Don't worry my friend , someday............ I'm going to build an entire set for you!!!!!!!!!!!


Once finished with the hull sheeting, I decided to remove some nose formers
and roof stringers (just behind the cockpit).
This will not create a structural problem, as the fuse will be reinforced with glass,
which is not covered in the original plans.
