uh oh...i hope you are ok...whatever the problem is..i hope it resolves soon and well for you and yours..Dave
My apology all. I should have explained.
Due to things in my real world, I can not stay focused in my project. So, I put it away. Will it get finished? I honestly can not answer that right now.
For the time being, I have put Gmax away. There's just too many frustrations involved in the whole process. Even as far as I've come.
At this stage, I may consider giving the source to an individual if there is an honest interest in finishing the project, and releasing with my intended contribution to SOH only, as Donation-Ware to benefit SOH
I'll be up front and direct to the subject on the plate. I'm a picky ***. Ask around. I have a lot of pride in everything I do, regardless.
If there is in fact someone who wishes to finish my work based on the above guidelines, inquire within.

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

Don't toss dirt on the sucker yet. I would have never thought someone would have feelings for a model as you share.
The airplane, the K has not fallen from the air, though in the distance of the skies, a glimmer.
For now she lands to spend time in the hanger, while I ride another wave.

A little update for those interested. Working on animations.
You must install Microsoft SilverLight, or download to see. http://sdrv.ms/XN9wDk

I got a chuckle of the K having floats myself. There's not a lot of photos or information, but floats were adapted from the early 1930's onward. And I agree, the K had only 36hp. 40hp later on.
What I have read notes that the K model got off the water fairly well. I'm not sure of the added weight difference. EDO 1070's are fitted as depicted here. Coming it at just over 12ft long.

Animation of the cabling looks to be a chore on lifting the water rudder. Time to get creative.
Here's the auxiliary fin found on the amphib type.
This should suffice. The water rudder animation. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/2636/71xamajgaonenvqrjoqzny.mp4

Sim Test, Floats
I've got the pilots head animated with the rudder movement. From exterior view it looks convincing.
Mr. Stolle (Thanks Berndt) has done a nice job with the Land Plane FDE. His knowledge will also be needed for the Sea Plane.
I'll get you the needed info and updated model as I progress.
I'm hopeful when the project is completed my modeling efforts will be well received.
For the time being all I have are more teaser shots.
I've plenty to do yet.
Here's a couple shots of the float model that will also be included in the package.
Animations and the rest of the water rudder cabling are WIP.
Right-Click/View Image(s) for best results.
