RE: u-can-do 60
Hello, JLK
The Cub is a Goldberg kit and the floats are also Goldberg floats. I built them up from a balsa and lite ply kit. I put metal from a couple of tin cans at the high contact points and I can taxi it on to the stony beach at the lake with no concern. I have an O.S. .91 4cycle up front.
I have to travel to Blue Marsh lake near Reading, PA 90 minutes each way so I fly mostly on snow and on the wheels. I built the clipped wing version and it still floats a lot so I use spoilerons to spot land it.
Regards, FRED
