Hey Rog,,, is that a unionville plan??... What a nice looking Otter!!! post lotssssss of pics bud!!

Yes, I had the 6' plans enlarged. Wow what a difference between 6' and 8'. It looked enormous and is, truly giant scale! I had to calculate the dimensions of the horizontal elevator. It was not shown on the 6' plan. I think the BME 44 with an 18-8 3-blade will be perfect. I love the only way for water to get into the fuse is around the hatch. I'll make sure it is fully sealed.

WOW!!!! Now that is a piece of work. Love the details on your float. Maybe some day soon someone will take on my SR-9 with floats!

Have a bit more work to finish up on the new 45" floats for my Mentor-G.


The color ought to show up against the background hills when on approach. ;-)


Just putting the final clear-coat on tonight.

Polaris Ultra ARF by Model Aero.

It will not get blown over as you taxi back in. (I speak from experience here.)

No but it will spear the nose if you try to skip it like a stone at full throttle.

About to be 2015 and almost ready to maiden her. Still need to mix in a little rudder with the ailerons and cg her. Does anyone know a better way to cg without knowing the true cg for this airloil. I'm going to use 25% from the LE.

ByLoudDesign

Bylouddesign.com! But she is 1:6 scale, have a Boeing B314 Clipper at 1:11 scale!

My Feedback: (33)

Cg at 28% mac is the best thing out there. For the big floater wing, couple of points either way on cg won't make that much difference. Please ditch the Tru-turn decal.They aren't paying to advertise.

Simco, do you know a Herb Roundy?

SIMCO

My Feedback: (33)

I know Herb. Haven't seen him around in awhile. Usually bump into him at the hobby shop. He flys Greater Southwest and I am 114th Aero Squadron.

Should be ready by spring! Just need to rig my rudders and add a retract servo.

Nice job on the float steps, that looks great.

Thanks for the compliment.
I saw pictures of yours and wanted to ask if you had any video of the Beaver?

Man I could wreck those floats in a minute. Beautiful work Vindee. I try not to build anything nice for water. Everything i have had has drowned!

Vindee,

those struts are awesome, did you fabricate them yourself or is that a package one can buy?

vindee

Thanks Kent,
I had to fab all the mounts and cut the struts from aluminum streamline tubing. The struts and strut inserts were easy enough but making mounts for the fuse took some thought and time.
