Posted 30 Jan 2020 I would guess it was Chuck Hosack's. He is in our EAA chapter and has built quite a few planes including a couple of Avids. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 1 Feb 2020 Yes, that amphib was my first home built. It was interesting to see the article again. I had lost my copy of the article years ago. The picture was taken on Beluga Lake near where Coal Creek empties into the lake. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 5 Feb 2020 Really interesting article, thanks for sharing. Who knew the 1st Catalina was built as a Landfib, and yikes, 3200hr build time. Man I thought I was slow! 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
