Its a very cool airplane I like to fly when I remember I have it. Love the paint. Please upload it. I just keep forgetting its in my hanger.

I don't think it's "forgetting" Barry, I think it's "wise" One should never fly floats when there is ice on the lakes!

I'll upload it as soon as I can get the documentation done (today or tomorrow) I'm not sure if Cal is still at home or if he's gone back out for another season but soon as he can get some spare time she'll be up.

I do not like to be a critic Gary because you are very talented and your work is fantastic. But one suggestion I would have is to put more carbon stains around the exhaust area.

Down in the CVA blue area? And maybe a little bleeding on to the pilot side float strut? Great idea! Although, personally I think you are only pointing it out because you are peeved that I *borrowed* your canoe

Now there is some creative character in the paint. The paint job has CVA back bush attitude on it :lol:

Well back from the fishing trip, and I've done some more work on the front end of the plane. I tried to make the prop look a little gnarly and take away that "computer assisted lathe work finish". (Sssshhhhh don't tell CFO Frank) But I somehow managed to crack the cowling (just below the right side of the prop in the blue paint) It must have been after the *beers* attacked me I just can't recall doing it!

I also rusted up the cylinder casings and hub as well as adding about 30 years of scratches and dings in the cowling.

Out of the new Orbx PAYA seaplane base and looking very good! Thanks Gary and Cal.

But where is the damned canoe? Sent to Frank?

I'm just heading over to FTX for a little piece of seaplane base but I thought I'd stop to ask if you rolled down the copilots window and clicked the wing strut Barry

Thanks Cal for getting this up, and JC, and Harry for the compliments!

OK, now I got the canoe! Soon as I find a creek, I'll take it up to Frank.

Think Frank just needs the paddle.... :lol:

One more paint! I keep coming back to this one. This time I went for an old U.S. air mail *aeroplane* theme with some funky colours

She's still scratched and dinged and looking pretty dilapidated but she's all I got

Damned Gary - I like that paint!

You should do this as a profession!
