RE: Floats on a trainer
Hey Jim Casey--John Reade-here--Wine Country Flyer--You mentioned Falcon Trading Floats. Just how good are they? I'm thinking about getting a pair for my Kadet LT 40. The formula (75%-80%) means they are a little short. 33 1/4" vesus 36", but Falcon says they will work on planes with 60" to 80" wing span. LT 40 falls right in the middle of that. I have Sea Commander 42" sport floats on my Four Star 60 and just love flying it on water, they work great, but the Sea Commanders are pretty heavy, 4lbs 11oz, for the set with mounts. The Falcons are only 11 oz. per float, (they say) so with mounting system they will come out a lot lighter and work good on an Lt 40, eh?
Whadayathink? Thanks in advance for any reply. John
