Seasonaly winter here presently, had 8-10 inches of snow Mon-Tues...Will try to fly Fri as it will be 48, I flew the Sat after Thanksgiving at 15 degrees ! Flying the Tidewater and a club member built Polaris, what a kick in the pants ! Should take out the Dynam PBY as well

Canopy should be here tomorrow !!! I have emailed Clarke several times with questions and he always takes time to answer them. He also has a Sky Skooter using same wing in a sport version land plane, trike gear, about same size motor etc...wish this build had the same pics as the Sky Skooter

Good to know. I'm at a point where I could build the trike instead of the Skimmer. I've been leaning that way since I have a FZ Beaver and rarely have the opportunity to fly it from water but I fly other planes from asphalt every weekend. Can you post his contact info here so I may get some direction on the Scooter? I might try a taildragger.

Made some progress tonight. Mated fuse halves to F2, F3 and F4...

Maiden in 2016?? I hope so!

All I did was to google search Sky Skooter and his build log came up Clark's email...clarksalisbury@hotmail.com
I thought about water integrity at rear fuse, so I filled the two rear cutouts so I could glass this area as well as I was unsure of my ability to cover the rear fuse and be water proof...I will try to post pics...Kevin in Denver

Having some difficulty loading pics....HELP!!

Kevin,
When you click to post a reply, scroll down to the next window where it says 'Drag and drop or click to browse'. I usually click to browse, then navigate to the pics in your computer, select the ones you want and click to open/upload.
You can then expand the display to add comments, save and post reply.
Cheers,

Found it...http://www.modelairplanenews.com/blo...le-sneak-peek/. Not really my cuppa...

I'm going to touch base with Yoda and see if he has any tips on the Skimmer. Thanks!

Here are some pics

Looking good! But no, not Peter Muxlow.
Cheers,
Pete
