Hello everyone ...

Now to the parts for the cowling ... where again it has to be well preformed ...

... to achieve the convex shape ... now attach the cowling at the front ...

... and glue the engine part to the fuselage.

Sincerely
Kurt

... and control cables installed.

Kurt,

The toothpick idea is one I shall steal. I keep trying to (unsuccessfully) roll paper tubes. Great job on the control lines too!

Hi Dan , I am back again ,
to steal my idea is very good

Hello, it continues....

Now to the frame for the swimmers

The marked positions of parts CD and FG seem wrong to me. These parts are intended to guide the struts between the hull and the float. However, according to the construction sketch, these are in the second and fourth segments.

Sincerely
Kurt

Hello everyone

The upper fairing for the float ... I start in the middle with 61d, first fix it at the top ...

...then glue downwards...glue one segment after the other...

... I'll wait with the tip until the underside is glued

Sincerely
Kurt

Hello !

To increase the stability of the side walls, I use 1 mm cardboard strips...Now for the underside of the floats. Parts are well rounded and first glue the front part in the middle ....

... and then fix it to the front ... now add the rear part.

Sincerely
Kurt
