RE: "Real" carrier flying

AFAIK, it was built and owned by a naval officer who was assigned to recruiting. He used it as a display for recruiting.

P.S. If I'm wrong, never mind. ;)

I have a OS .23 powered cub on floats that is an excellent performer - very scale-like. The Sunny Boy really struggles with a geared speed 400, though. It won't lift off without a...

RE: Pond Baby

As a complete novice in the electric/seaplane field, I don't have any suggestions. From what I've tried so far (a Sunny Boy on floats), it seems you never have too much power!

Thanks for the poop.

RE: Best way to paint a cowl high-gloss?

Unquestionably, the highest gloss can be gotten by applying a color base coat and then top coating it with clear. I use the PPG urethane products. They are a two-part mix using a catalyst. They spray...

RE: Help stripping a cowl.

"Real" carrier flying

As I remember, the carrier was owned By an officer assigned to Navy Recruiting in Seattle. It was about 30' long and a conversion of some ex-Navy boat.
