RE: Grumman Widgeon
Holly WOW! Batman!
My dream airplane, you have it and I don't.
I'll get over it. I hope.
What about paint? Are you gifted in that area? Friends that paint?
Pick out something yet?
I would not cut that model up for retract gear. You could place tubes from the fuselage side to side and flush, 5 actually, if you do the math.
Gear could be fabricated to fit into the 5 tube openings. Could be easly removed for water flying.
Good idea?
Keep us posted.
