Default RE: Catalina PBY2 - Budd Chappell

Boys, thanks for the input . . Mad you say to use small servo's - I have on the addtion of ailerons and also I have for the independent throttle controls for a bit more user friendlyness, but the elevator and rudder servo are shown as standards, do you think they are over kill? I will post some more pictures tonight . . . oh the Britton Norman Islander land ship where could I get those plans from? I have a pair of spare .15'as as well . . .

The PBY plan suggests sheeting the hull in 1/64 ply, but I opted for 1/16 balsa as I want to dope and tissue then spray it . . .

Do you know what the recommended weight is for the PBY2?
