the 4th pic down, a gust of wind caught it and it almost got airborne !

Country: | Here are a couple more. The first pic is actually under (rubber) power,
it does taxi (away from me). I still have to put FCC numbers on it,
and outline the doors, flaps, etc. And, of course, the windshield....
Oh...evangilder...... no spot..... I cleaned the lens

Country:  | Charles, fantastic job! The yellow looks great and the 'new' prop tops it off.
Man you're lucky the gust of wind didn't spoil all that work. Crashed and burned pictures would not have been a good outcome. | |

Country: | Bad news, guys. Major damage to the floatplane, tonight. I was striping
and it slipped from my hand, and I grabbed...... Almost broke the fuselage
in half !! I broke five fore and aft stringers, put two holes in the wings, too.
Fortunately, it's not "strike" damage. I've started to repair it and in time
it will be almost as good as new. I've attached some pic's. Bummer....
