R Palimaka Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Wow, what a work of art!! Spent a long time looking at the photos with my morning coffee. Astonishing detail, and discovered more exquisite touches the longer I looked. What a splendid effort! That cockpit! She is beautiful.

kensar Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thank you to all those leaving comments. Well Hubert, I may have screwed up by putting the tank and plating behind the pilot. I checked other pictures I have and none were as clear as the one you posted. A detail I overlooked, apparently. I wonder if the tank had to be moved when floats were fitted to maintain the center of gravity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huberlu Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hello, Thank you for your answer. I don't know at all about the center of gravity but the idea is very good, I hadn't thought of it. Usable photos are really very rare, in fact I only have this one... They had to weigh heavy these big floats and yet she flew as long as the terrestrial version (3h from what I read on the internet) .. and with one tank less. With or without plaque your work is remarkable. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
