Well, after waiting on a few things and the usual distractions, the Beaver is almost done. I weighed it yesterday with no CG modifications and it was 19 lbs- 2 oz. I was expecting it to be a little heavier with the Sea Commander undercarriage. I will have to add 1lb- 4oz to the float tips (10 oz each float) to pull the CG in to 80mm. Total weight now will be 20 lb- 6 oz. Right where I hoped it would be.

I had to cut out access hatches on the float tips to drop in the weights. I'm working on that more tonight. Will post some more pics.

This picture is my CG machine for big planes. You may note the plane is suspended a few inces above the cradle. Very accurate for finding CG.
