[rebel-builders] Amphib Float Bulhead templates

That is the only "template" used in the entire build Clay. It's 1/2 the
float width...for the doubler on the D/E & H/I pairs. Transfer it to a piece
of scrap alum while you do the first one and then use the alum pattern for
the next 7 spots.

Unless things have changed...the pictures shown in their CD are "one off"
floats built by ........ darn forget his name..lives close to the factory.
They won't help you much with the kit as darn near everything show is
non-kit supplied.

I presume you've read here previously that I do have an 1195 picture, in
sequence, build CD available for the 1800 amphibs. Hate to be a
salesman...but gotta pay the bills somehow! ;O)

Cheers,
Wayne

Hi Guys,
I just started working on the bulkheads of my floats this week. On
bulkheads D, E and H, I which are paired up. The CD manual instructs to
remove the full size drawing of figure 3.5.2 from book and use for a
template. Are there many other templates needed? Should I have received
templates with this kit along with the cd manual? I've contacted MAM but
haven't heard back from them yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

Clay Smith

Hi Wayne, thanks for the info. I did finally speak with Jeff at MAM who was
really helpful. I am considering purchasing your picture cd too.
