Bring the house bro !!! better to not let a instructor get you stuck in a rut.
of course that makes sense,using the less expensive unit, my club mates double bag there gear on there float planes just in case it goes in to the drink,I just purchased a pair of floats myself.
I am converting the old retired nextar into a float plane, I will be flattening the wings myself for the FloatstarPOS, a bunch of the guys are really into it it will be my first float adventure
