It's been a while since I posted ... been getting some flying in
But there's been some progress on the plane too. I have started to fill in the area between F5 and F8 where the landing gear are. With nothing to follow in the plans, I have been making it up as I go. I started by adding 1/2" wide balsa formers to the inside edges of F5 and F8. These will support the planking when it goes on and give me enough wood to work with to cut a removable section out later. The removable section will start about 1.5" above the water line and go to the bottom of the pylon. This will provide access to maintain the retract system. Here's some picts of the work so far.
