aspen Boxed with 1/8 lite-ply.

There right at 7 feet Long
The sides are made from a type of door skin.
The botom of the float will be 1/8 lite-ply and the top wile be 1/8 Balsa.
The floats are for a 40 size airplane.
Making the bend in the front was fun :)
On wood this size I really like using cams.
I plan to fill the Notches with Cabosil.
After that I plan to glue a peice of 1/8 ply along the inside of the longeron.
Matt with the fuse sides
They are right at 8' long
The frame work of the door proped open.
I am using Cams to hold every thing in place.
The Longerons are 1/2x1/2 Aspen in hind sight I think 3/8x3/8 would have worked.
Starting to build the fuse jig and the first fuse.
From the water line to the top of the rudder is right at 50 inch and the floats will be 84 inch long .
