Thanks Wayne, you have to teach me how to do that one day.
Elmshoot, you mentioned your dad flew them, I'm curious as to what he thought of them. A friend did some on line research for me a while back and got answers from an ex-pilot who did not like the plane at all. He also said it had a lot of technical problems.
You might find a suitable float from www.seacommander.com .Look under " other floats" . I'd have to pay for them in Canadian dollars so there way beyond my budget
