I have no idea how close to scale this particular subject is to scale but it is unusual to C/L to be sure!

The article is from 1946 and I hope may spark some interest from someone here.

If nothing else give it a look and see what you think.

There is a Seabee based here in KY.
He is a friend of mine who flys it every week, both land & water.
Also has several hulks & parts. Great photo opts!   

Smooth, easy flyer!

Tight lines!

I just thought it was so cool to have found an actual build article and plan for such an unusual subject for control line! Glad you fellas like the idea at least!

A really neat airplane, but it brings back some unpleasent memories of slipping my then skinny body down through a ridiculous size small opening to buck rivets from inside the hull with no earplugs (dummy me) and the resulting leg cramps when I got out!

So...Is anyone willing to take on this project and make a C/L model of it?

I don't have the facilities myself.
