Name those planes!

A search of Canadian planes with cruciform tails has yielded nothing so far for me.

Think Canadair/Bombardier ...

Ok, this pic is from a week ago. My adaptation of an important plane to my home country of Canada. Any guesses based on what you see here? View attachment 138805

CL-115

Oooh, pretty dang close! Canadair CL-415 water bomber. Making good progress now. Here is from a few days ago on my “hanger wall” ...

72” wingspan, twin 2218B motors turning 10” or 11” props on a 2200/1550mah parallel 3s battery pack. Water loading and dumping system planned for phase 2. Paint job in the works as we speak 🤪

I meant 415 I just couldn't remember the right number.

Ok, my last post in this thread. Thanks for humoring me guys!

I maidened the CL-415 today and it flew beautifully. Here is a picture of the painted version hanging on the

. I’ll start another thread on the adventures of developing a water loading and dumping system as I test that part out. Hopefully it will look like the real version one day!!!

I'd say it already does look like the real version.

Have you thought about making plans??

Well, I made this one from scratch using some old balsa plans I found as a reference along with a lot of add hock modifications. I have a goal this winter to learn to make plans using the template I’ve seen somewhere here on the forum. I’m fairly competent at sketchup so I think I can probably re-create some of the trickier curved pieces and then flatten them for the plans. So I guess the answer is yes, I hope to be able to make plans so others can give it a shot!
