Thanks Daniel for the tips. I ordered my McDaniel glow driver and should receive it tomorrow. That should help a bit along with about a gallon more of break in time. I'll limit my idle time to taxiing and landings. Speaking of Bud Faulkner's floats, I bought a big Decathlon from him a few years back and got to see those floats up close and they are amazing. He can build and has a very precise attention to detail.
