Nice Dan, this is a cool early aircraft, nice to see your work....

Thanks Greg, Don and Glen! I moved along on the interior making the pulleys and control wires along with the rudder pedals and control yoke. Not sure if this should be a wheel or stick, but the kit calls for a stick. I do see a photo of the Italian version of this machine with a wheel so I don't know which is correct. But I stayed with the kit for now. You can see I started adding the tub to the hull and I got one colored side skin on as well. Starting to look pretty cool!


Thanks for looking,
Dan

Good morning Dan.

very good work on your plane.

To your question about wheel (Volant) or stick.
Austrian seaplanes had both.
Depending on type and production date, seaplanes of the same type could have a steering stick or a steering wheel like an automobile.

Thanks, WiWo! I'll stick with the kit as the rest sure seems to be nice and correct.


I may need to make a Schwarzlose gun, however!


Much appreciated...Dan

Even more! This thing is so well engineered that it took about 5 minutes to get this thing skinned to this point. The underside will be tricky but so far, it's just been fun!

Very smooth skinning!

Good mornig Dan,

very good work.
A little hint for the front part of the underside.
I glued the first parts at the bow together with glueing tabs of thin paper.
When the glue was hard, I put them in shape, fitting to the formers and glued the whole part to the body.

Greetings from Vienna,

Fine work, Dan Flying boats are appealing subjects.
