Thought some might like to see the Husky I built...Not a well known aircraft.. Mine is 9.5' WS about 23 lBs and powered by a Enya 155...

Hi Darren

There was a full size ( Yellow ) that broke down on it's way through Vernon many years ago.It sat in front of Rick Thorburns house for several months while repairs were arranged.I always thought they were a good design but the size of an Otter with a Beaver engine

No WaY!

I love this a/c.. been wanting to build one ever since I saw it in the Aviation Museum in Winterpeg in 1985!

Tell me you got plans!!! Can you copy them?

Looks great on floats... are they amphibs?

More....more....moree...drool....droool

Worked on one belonging to Bradley Air Services at Carp ont. when I worked there in the late 50s. Makes me feel like I belong in a museum.

Darren, I think I remember you saying that it got one flight but had some problems.... did everything get straightened out????

Any chance you will bring it to Shuswap next year??

cf-drg · 12-05-2003, 11:31 PM

Yes I drew the plans myself from a 3-view in a CAHS (canadian aviation historical society) journal.. They are a little rough but what you see is what I made from them

... I have have sent a set to a fellow in the states, I just charged the coping and postage ( I'm not in this hobby to make money)... And yes I have flown it before but it didn't come home in one piece.... You'll notice a non-scale sub-fin ( the full size never had one)... It was very mushy and Yawy in the turns... It does help a bit, but it still has some issues ( small ones ).. I want it to fly like a trainer and maybe I'm asking to much from it... I'll post more pics tomorrow if anyone interested...not at the comp that has them..
