RE: Little Star seaplane
No plans for it as of yet. But I did make templates for all the pieces so I can make another one faster than the first. Wing is made by folding the foam backover itself and I have a foam spar made by laminating 3 pieces of the fanfold foam together. Trial and eror fit an fix took me most of the time to build as I would try something and then sit and think of how to improve it and have to tear it off and rebuild. Now that I have a basic plan for the Little Star I can build another one with less fuss. I'll try and get some plans together and see if I can post a tiled set here.
