Default RE: A really small float plane build thread

Airframe is ready to fly, I haven't hooked up the water rudder yet, that is the last thing before it's ready to take off from the water
I was curious so I weighed the float (before painting) they only weigh 2.5 oz. That suprized me,, Figure another .5 oz. with paint only adding 3oz. is great
I'm going to take it to the pond and see how it sits in the water to see if I need to make longer wires for the tip floats. More than likely I'll madien it tomorrow without the floats to set the trims

I decided to go with the all INJ Grey scheme,, The paint I used just happens to be the paint I used for my garage, it's amazingly close to INJ Grey

More tomorrow
