Default RE: OK guys, another

W hat is it covered with? Is that a fiberglass fuse? How watertight are the wheelwells. It sure looks like it was made for the water so my guess is that it wont be hard to convert... Keep your radio gear up off the bottom of the plane so that if it does get wet it wont be sitting in water...I bet the 4 stroke motors are going to sound great...Do you know the method of sealing the wing to the fuse with silicone and wax paper? Sorry I just looked back and saw that it is an all wood kit ...You might consider covering it with glass cloth and West System Epoxy..Then paint..Its a lot of work so I guess it would depend on how much you like the plane...Maybe fly it first to see how you like it ...It sure looks like it is worth putting some time into as long as it is not too heavy already...
