Default RE: Wave King CG?

Hi Rudy,
Yours sounds just like mine, ripples in the aft fuselage and all. I have not yet covered the wing as I was going to make a twin out of it using a pair of 40's. As I said, mine is on hold for now so time will tell. I have become a fan of using Ultracoat for finishing balsa. A couple of applications of balsarite and a light sanding. This seals the wood and helps adhere the covering. The fuselage was just going to be painted, probably with Lustrecoat.
As you probably know the kit came out of Quebec Canada. I forget the name of the company but it is of no matter as the plane and instructions were pretty bad. I agree with you on the tip floats and I was going to re-engineer mine. I think a good 60 would pull her along pretty well. A OS 61 FX comes to mind.
I hope too be on the island this summer, keep in touch.
Peter
