FLoating CUB
Hi Forum !
I live in Houston.
I took a Hangar9 Piper Cub 81"span
put SeaCommander Floats
a SAITO twin 61 BK (the cylinders sticking out either side looks close to the real thing !!! )
the floats are the EDO similes painted silver with a black stripe on top, plus twin water rudders...
OK....plane is finished.........where to go fly it ???
Showed up at the only local Club with a water runway and asked permission to fly, once.
Even with very adverse conditions ( 15mph wind - whitecaps on the water - nearby tall trees ) made a very difficult ROW...once airborne the Piper just grooved. The first attempt at landing was 100% OK.
That's all.....................
Now I would like to "continue" flying from water but have no place to take it to........
My first DIG.Camera should come in this week. I could post a picture, for your evaluation, if so desired.
Best of everything
