A painful crash and loss
Sometimes it gets personal. We just lost a friend and colleague who trained in my shop for two years, and then a year ago took an exciting job with the the Native Alaskan Health program. On May 20, she was the only passenger on a floatplane operated by Taquan Air, flying from Anchorage to a small place in the Alaskan panhandle. The Beaver seems to have dug the right float into the water while landing, dipped the right wing, cartwheeled and flipped over. She and the pilot must have died almost instantly. NTSB is investigating.
It was this very plane (image from the Taquan Air website). Is there a Beaver on floats somewhere in the repertoire here?

Sorry for your loss..........
I'm not sure, but a recolor of the DGA Beaver should be too hard to accomplish.........let me gather up some reference pictures if I can. |

I feel for her parents - having lost my daughter, Wendy, as a passenger in a car that crashed and was subsequently hit by another car. My thoughts go out to them at this time.

A great idea for a build and fitting way to hold her memory up. |
