Canadair CL-215 Waterbomber - scratch build

[Michael]

Wing hold-down parts completed (tapped plywood for plastic screws).

This will take at least another month to finish.

[Michael]

Elevator and rudder servos.

[Michael]

Servos, ESCs and wiring in the wing.

[Michael]

Tip floats.

Blue stryrofoam insulation has joined the construction components.

[Michael]

I'm starting the wing top skins.

It's a slow and delicate procedure, but if I'm careful, it should come out neat and strong.

It'll take a few days.

[piker]

Nice!  Great progress as usual.

[Michael]

Wing top covered. While still very light, the wing has become very strong; no twisting.

Wing tips. Once sanded, they look great.

[Michael]

Nacelles: I'm not sure how it'll come together, but I'll make it up as I go along.

Note the messy work table. It's indicative of a healthy mind. 

[Michael]

OK, that's enough for today/tonight. Time for a break.

[Michael]

Coming along ....

I had been thinking earlier, "It will be nice to see it all together."  And there it is.  Very impressive, Michael.

[Michael]

Still working on the nacelles.

[Michael]

One nacelle 'skinning' is done. It took a long time because I had to cut each piece to fit, I had to wait until the glue dried for each piece before I could cut and measure for the next, and each edge had to be beveled for a reasonably accurate fit.

I still have to do the other nacelle, and then the cowls.
