It has been a hard nine days of work but I have finally got my Beaver together and it looks pretty good. My goal is not to do any work on it this summer at the lodge. I put a vacuum to the floats on Saturday and used and stuck the blow end in the pump out then went around with a spray bottle of soapy water looking for leaks and they leaked everywhere. It took me a long day with help to get the floats all sealed up, re-bushed the water rudders and now they are looking good. the Beaver is finally ready to fly, less a few new float ropes. Should be able to get out today and get my feet wet and make a trip to the lodge.
