Weather was too nice over the weekend to play in the basement, but last night I started the airframe assembly, I won't post pics of that, but tonight I did get a chance to start the Tip float attach point.
I used the stock landing gear block and wire, it took a little patients to cut the foam without making too much a hack job out of it.
I narrowed the depth of the block so I wouldn't have to go so deep in the wing, I'll epoxy them in, the wire will some how get sandwiched inside the foam tip float. and be removable with the 2 stock screws. I'm thinking this block/wire will be plenty strong enough after all
Tomorrow I hope to start shaping the main and tip floats
