Dang, sorry to hear that Charles. But at least as far as Ive read you have the first pacific model to take flight even if it was a bumpy landing so at least you know it flew. Glad to here it can be repaired.

Sh!t Charles, thats no good mate....but now it will be even better!

Been working on repairing the damage before proceeding to the next step. Got the underside of the wing repaired,
and the new main float support made and covered. Working on the underside of the fuselage just aft of where the
trailing edge of the wing meets the fuselage. Maybe pic's tomorrow if I get it put back together.

Once she gets painted up she'll look as good as new.... She's comin together wuite nicely Charles, keep on her...

Certainly looking forward to more progress Charles!

All of the damage has been repaired, the new main float support is attached..... waiting for it to dry. Next step is to
re-attach the main float and rear supports. After that we start a complete paint job with the 50/50 mix of clear
dope/thinner, with the light sanding in between. While all this is going on, I have to carve a three bladed prop, and
paint the canopy.

All this is subject to how I feel, of course. I find I can't sit for long periods of time....

Nice to have you back in the groove Charles, but don't you go overdoing things mate. Take it easy, bit at a time - health first, model third. (Family etc is second!)
