2021 SeaPlane Design & Build Challenge!

[Crawford Bros. Aeroplanes]

@FoamyDM I was reading the first page for some rules and noticed my entry is misnamed, it's called a "Poolboy" and is loosely based on the Eastman E-2A Sea Pirate.

Page 1 has it marked "Pool Brothers" which sounds more like I tried to start a pool cleaning business hehe

Heres my second entry: Berijev Be 103

Its a russian flying boat and its quite unique because its a low wing delta wing amphibian, something you dont see very often on a general aviation plane.

same as i use , it gives whats needed correct.Plus i use an angle measurer/finder...and measures direct from my computer screen, where plan drawings in 3D view is scaled to size i want.

Is anyone going to be doing the bv238? Idk if I'll have time to do the contest but if I do I'm building the BV.

Definitely!

 

[leaded50]

and everyone wonder where Batman got the idea on the mask from....

 

[leaded50]

Italian Giovanni Pegna designed some good ideas for Piaggio and Caproni too.. as this 401... (also on my "maybe build list".. )
fatty ,bad attitude from side, and a pretty crazy "fat" wing....never buildt though.

 

[Hondo76251]

Got a little progress in...

I'm having hard time trying to find ways to go float flying. I have one local spot that I could do it at, but I doubt my dad would drive me over there just for that. I may end up making a lighter-weight plane for the challenge so I can get off the ground from thick-er puddles

 

[BlockerAviation]

Can I use my PC 6 and just add floats to it for the challenge?

[FoamyDM]

Those wanting to do a seaplane that uses 50mm edfs. this could be a good candidate. the Martin YP6M SeaMaster

I'll fix it up. Sorry.

A bit old, but in my opinion still the best: the Dornier Libelle II.

@FoamyDM , am I allowed to enter it since it's basically a complete project?

I will add it. It is a perfect example. I would love to see you design and build another plane if you have time.
