Well more progress got the Power Pod constructed and motor mounted in the plane I'm just amazed how quickly The FT Tutor goes together I basically only have the floats and the landing gear left to build and its onto electronics and paint. Well I did a little more work after dinner and got all the parts cut for the Floats and the landing gear need to hit the RC Model shop for wire to make landing gear out of.   |

I started the floats today got them about half assembled taking my time because I'm using mostly Gorilla Glue as I know its water proof I got some on a shirt and that shirt has been through the wash umpteen times and that glue blob is still there That stuff is tough and I love how it fills gaps. So I have got the main parts folded and tacked with hot glue and sealed with GG.  |

I swear those motors are garbage in every other size I have tried them in, but they make a good 2217 motor. Mine has been kicking around forever and still does just great. |

Actually it's a 2814 1000KV I have had pretty good luck with the orange Chinese motors but the 2217 1250K have been my go to motor they seem to do well in the flight test planes that require a B or C motor. But I wanted a little more power on the Tutor I had the 2814 kicking around and it is supposed to be the same as the motor I used on the FT spitfire and will swing a 10x6 or 10x5 prop. I have a 2217 950KV I'm going to use on the simple stager wing.
