Default RE: My New Future Float Plane, Don't tell my wife I'm building it.

Her name is Michelle and she found out today. Boy, did I hear it!! She was pissed. Oh well, I'll have to be a little more discreet getting it done. Anyway got some pictures. I'm done with the fuse for now and did up the vertical fin and rudder. The A-Ray is designed for you to add more rudder and elevator surface for snappier flying. In the picture you can see a added piece on the rudder to make it larger. It should also help with it as a float plane. The original used rubber bands to hold the gear and wings on. My old one had the bands on the wings but gear straps on the wires. I will make alterations on the wing for bolts for a better look and tighter hold down. Laid down the plans for the wing and will start on that soon.
