I uploaded some Rebel pictures to the site. They include views of my
door latches, cowl pin securing screw, and steel tail wheel spring.

Rick
Thanks for the pics. Nice work!
My latches aren't quite finished yet but I put the mechanism in the
fuselage above the window instead of on the window. Your way looks a
little simpler and still meets exactly what I wanted to achieve.
I have the same tailspring arrangement except I decided to try it
without the small third leaf.

Hey Drew,

Very nice. Good photos too, as usual. Where/who took them? Is that
London?

Is it normal to carry the tail tie-down around like that in photo 2 ?

Take care.

Hi Brian photos were taken at cenralia by my freind Tim who happened by
with his camera just at the moment of truth. Old timers around here tell me
it's a very good idea to keep a rope tied to the tail while on skis to make
it easier to turn the plane around. On windy days the plane will tend to
weathercock and pulling it around with the rope may be the only way to get
pointed where you want to go.

Should probably polish it about 20hrs./year. It gets about 5 and looks best
from 50'

Hey Ben

Don't listen to Drew here. First-hand says it looks GREAT at any
distance! And the colour in the photos is very good too.

Take care.

Really nice looking Rebel Drew. I like the paint job too. I think the
aluminum cowl worked out great with the paint scheme. I don't like the fiberglass
cowlings when there painted silver with a polished airframe but your aluminum one
looks great! One of the nicest Rebels I've seen.

[Schmucker, Del]

I have just uploaded several pictures that people may be interested in.

I have replaced the MAM supplied deck lids with Beckson DP50-W deck
plates. They are still plastic, but as you can see in the photo,
different design. These are quarter turn and seem to work very well.
They do not break when you walk on them. They use the same holes that
MAM used and retrofitting was easy. I have always had condensation
accumulating in the floats, I drilled a small 1/8 inch hole in the top
of each deck and for whatever reason there is almost no condensation. I
might get 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water after being parked for 10 days.

One of my "problems" early this summer was, when I would fly into lakes
to fish was mobility. I made the motor mount brackets as shown in the
photos and it works very well, is very light and takes 20 seconds to
install or remove. Initially I had the electric trolling motor and
began using it as I looked for a small outboard. (Mercury or Johnson
2hp) However the longer I used the electric the more I liked it. It has
plenty of power, forward, and reverse, all at the click of a button and
the best part no sound. The downside of course is that you have to
carry a 45lb battery.

The 1800 floats have lots of floatation and with the flat decks it is
very easy to fish off of them. This is my second summer on floats and
have thoroughly enjoyed the mobility of the Rebel this summer. For
those of you building keep at it, it does pay off.

Del, gorgeous Rebel and a way cool trolling set up!

How much wind can you be in and still maneuver around with the trolling
motor?

What is the diameter of those new float caps?

Thanks,
Scott

The float caps diameter is 5 inches inside, (standard MAM hole size) 7"
outside. Here is link to Beckson page
http://www.beckson.com/twistdp.html



You can maneuver is quite a bit of wind. I don't how fast but would
estimate 10-15 mph. I leave the water rudders down and it will track
quite well.

[Walter Klatt]

Hey, Del, I'm impressed! I may have to try that with mine. I have
used an inflatable canoe when I go fishing, which still weighs 40
pounds, you have to inflate/deflate it, and then you have to
paddle it. Plus you have to find some place to beach and leave
your plane, which can be difficult sometimes.

I already have an old electric trolling motor (which I haven't
used for a long time), and was thinking of buying a big RV type
battery to extend my Eliminator inverter that I use at my cabin.
That could be used for this, too.

I assume the motor up front pulls, not pushes the airplane... Is
it easy to steer the plane to where you want to go?

Walter
