My Dad asked me about the CL-415.
Seeing as how we are Canadian and well there is a lot of snow this year it seemed like a good plane to have.
We even considered buying one or two from HK but I laughed when the shipping costs were double the cost of the plane.
So over the holidays I'm going to scratch build a pair.
Actually might use the 48 project as a test bed because I think I can make this plane with removable wing pods and a removable haul. Meaning it can convert over to grass landings in the spring.
Design rules:
I'm going to using my loved 1000 KVM motors and 9x5 triple blade props.
Might order some 8x4's from HK as well.
A friend actually has the HK plane so I've asked for a few basic measurements.
Found this drawing online. Which really highlights the simplicity of the design.
This should be interesting.

Design rules:
- The plane must be able to taxi, take off and land in all snow conditions.
- Easy access to the battery.
- Fly cleanly.
- Fit in the trunk of my car so 48" wing and 32-36" body.
