Rod, instead of gearing I made it direct drive, brushed motor& will control the speed via my thumb on the transmitter 😁

Ron your build log is appreciated. We have similar interests...workboats, almost cartoon-like. You have made remarkable progress over the last 3 weeks. Have you found a suitable geared power plant? I seem to recall your pinion had bit the dust. If you havent, I have something to offer in the 250-380 range. Not sure exactly what size you would call it, but its quite a bit smaller than a 540.

Ready to launch later this Spring. I found Happy Family figures on Facebook marketplace for $6 per figure buying 7 of them.
Gave her the name, Mrs.B, in respect of the three ladies in our family.

Tank testing showed a small leak but after applying 5min epoxy mixture along any suspicious seams, no more leaks 😁
I went back and checked the drawings from John Gardner’s book. It shows the height from cockpit floor to roof over wheelhouse is 5’-7”
My figure here is 6” which is 1”=1’ six foot person. I figure since everyone has the same toros length on average, if I shorten the legs the figure could be brought down to about 5’ 8” or 5’6” without an issue.
These are Fisher Price Happy Family doll house figures which can be found on used stuff websites such as Facebook marketplace. Average price in Canada is $8-$10 per figure.

I'm a PBY fan as well. Please ensure your grandson sees the Wikipedia article, search on "catalina". Its good to see a youngster so interested in tech. Back in the '50s my Dad had a business partner who gifted me a styrene PBY kit. No idea why, tho, as Doug was too young to hav served in WW2. Until a couple of days ago I had no idea how ubiquitous the PBYs/Cansos were in their decades. Cheers, Rod

Only one project at a time, except I did help my grandson with his PBY.
