    So far, I have made and installed a wiring harness from the tail to the panel for the trim and strobe. I cut a section out of each sponson and removed the landing gear for proper drilling. Replacing the foam and glass should be easy, I rebuilt 3 Vettes years ago. My dad and I also fabricated and installed a new more streamlined front end for his motorhome. The original was damaged in an accident, and the original company was out of business. We used glass and foam purchased from Aircraft Spruce.

    Bought an Avid Catalina kit.
    I am new to the group. I bought a Catalina kit from a gentleman in New Jersey. It has been in my barn workshop for 2 weeks. I have been organizing and moving my son's PT-24 parts to make room. Today, I finally started checking things verses the manual. The landing gear legs were cut off flush behind the vertical part where it is supposed to be drilled for the axle bolt. And, as I already knew, the sponsons were modified to remove the rear hump. They are deepened to allow forward retraction. The son of the deceased builder claimed that they saw this mod on a factory prototype. Any help here?
