| Oh Yea, I made whole new set of tail-feathers cuz I didn't like the first set. I suppose now it's time to work on the landing gear (sigh). |

| About a week later, I now have a new float that is straight. Been adding details out of styrene to the float and carved a motor mount ring out of basswood. |

| I started to mate teh fuse to the float hull and realized that the float had a distinct curve in the keel (Bannana Boat?). So, I started all over again, including making new & better masters for the wheel wells. |
