Default RE: A really small float plane build thread

You're all laughing at me huh,,, good

The rain gave me a little time this morning to start the rear main float braces. They are made with some 3/8" streamline tubing I picked up the other day. Bolts comes through the top of the wing,, I just tapped the aluminum to receive the bolt,, Simple is good. The hardest part was making the holes straight in the foam float without making the holes too big. They will just get epoxied in once the float is finish being shaped.


I'm liking the proportions so far
