Title: Burnelli CBY-3 is being restored
Post by: Nick on November 24, 2020, 07:22:16 AM
I honestly thought that none of the Burnelli designs had survived the years but it turns out I am mistaken. In Connecticut is the New England Air Museum who have in their large collection a Burnelli CBY-3.
It appears to have been undergoing restoration for several years now and it looks good  :thumbsup:

I see they leave the props off until the end of the build.  Just like we do.

Thanks for that Nick.  Interesting.

It's OK just for pure weirdness, but there's something missing...................

It does have wings.  I assume they will be reattached at some point of the restoration.

The Savoia is kind of turning into a long wing Burnelli seaplane.  ;D
