A legend return's, Curtiss " America " new build.

Keep the updates coming folks. This is getting interesting. Would love to see it get here as per the original intention but, sadly, I don’t think it’s likely somehow.

Go America,(the flyin boat that is)

She almost flew!!!:dev2:

But they just could not get her to unstick herself from the water.

The old 90 Hp Lib’s did not have enough grunt, they will throw in some 100/110 hp’s Lib’s now over the Winter break, and hopefully she will fly next year in 08.

Great work to all who built the new build ” America “, she’s look’s fantastic and as ugly as ever!! LoL..

That’s some seriously nice woodworking, nothing seem impossible to new build now, anyone want to try a new build Spruce Goose 😀

Croc’s Rule!!

Nice woodwork!!

I see there’s a great story on the America new build, in the lastest Classic Wings 😉 .

The work these guy’s are doing is amazing, I can not wait to see if this bird will fly :rolleyes: .

And there even gunna do a new Hudson Flyer aswell.

Magic stuff 😀

Ciao

Ooooo Roooo

CROC’S RULE :dev2:

Be great to fly her across the Pond, Like the original was intended to do, before WW1 got in the way. 😎

Flying boat Doh!

Great link thank’s 😉

H’mmmm I wonder just how much it did help british flying boat design’s :confused: .

Like the bit later on when the Pom’s sold the Yank’s an improved model, of their own aircraft :dev2: .

But all that engine swapping and push or pull set up is a bit confusing sorting out the different model’s :diablo: .

But hey that’s the fun when ya start talking Curtiss aircraft :rolleyes: .

Oh that’s better I feel so much lighter on me feet now 😀 , now to start eating again, and some REAL FOOD!:dev2:

Oooo Rooo I’m off gotta crash, ” Gut Nacht “. Good moaning, good after noon where ever you may be 🙂
