I have seen you wing tips and tail tips and they are tops. Unfortunately I
have already burned the time building the Murphy ones but I am still tempted
with your wing tips.
What is your opinion on composite floats? I've come across people who would
not touch them, yet others who love them (less drag, no leaks). I'm sure
that quality and expertise have something to do with it. I am not too crazy
about the looks and the gear on the Aerocomp floats but apparently they are
quite reliable.
www.slipstreamind.com just recently launched 1600 amphib composites made
with balsa core. They only weigh 165 lbs. I know cracks can develop and the
balsa suck up water and end up heavy and weak. But can this be overcome in
any way?
Have you ever or would you consider to build composite floats?

*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*To all Rebel Builders.
I am the person that produces the Hoerner Tips along
with one piece elevator/rudder tips. You no longer
need to spend countless hours making fiberglass parts
for this great aircraft. I am a small business. I
fully intend to expand my business and supply addl
parts to other aircraft as I expand. My hobby is
turning into a full time business. I started this on
a dare from Curt Martin and Bill Kelly here in
Michigan. I love this aircraft. I hope to some day
own/build one. Well enough of my dreams.
The parts that I produce are done so to save you time.
Most of you love to work with aluminum but do not like
working with fiberglass, I do. It is great to create.
Well, I created molds for a Hoerner style tip to fit
the Rebel. Thanks goes to Bob Patterson and the
builders up in Brampton, Ontario, Canada for their
insistance. Curt Martin and our late friend, Bill
Kelly really apreciated the work I did for them. I
also produce a one piece tip to fit the elevator and
rudder, and one addl part, a fairing to cover the
control rod to the flapperons.
Well, the cost is what everyone will eventually ask of
me. The Hoerner tips cost $520.00 per set, the tail
tips are $195.00 per set of 3, and the fairing is
$25.00. Shipping is extra.
Please send me questions via E-mail or call me at home
in the evening. You can see my parts on Wray
Thompsons wab page, Thanks to Wray for posting them.
Thanks to all for the interest. If any of you have
suggestions for other parts, for Rebel or others, feel
free to note or call me. Any one interested in
cowlings, one piece swing up doors, cargo pod, wheel
pants, dorsil fins or what ever, let me know.
