RE: Show us your Beaver!
I just picked up a 12' Beaver built from a Unionville kit. I plan to fly it mainly with floats. The airframe without electronics and engine weighs 26lbs and it is set up for a G62. This sounds to me like I will be short on power by the time I get it done. I figure the AUW will be 40-42 lbs with floats. Some questions for you float guys:
Will the G62 be enough power?
I have talked with another guy flying giant scale on floats and he says APC's are the only prop that stands up to the water spray. Said he ruined a Mejlik in one flight? If I wan to go with a larger engine, APC will not likely have a prop to suit. What are you guys using to stand up to the abuse?
