I have been interested in float planes for a long time but never had one.
I fish frequently at a very quiet 15 acre lake just minutes from my home here in the mountains.
That lake is very clam and getting back in this hobby I have been even more intrigued with the idea of a float plane.
I saw the care taker of the lake and ask him if anyone runs boats or flies planes off the lake. I was surprised when he told me that there is a law/policy that you cannot use gas motor of any kind on the lake for any reason as the lake is one that is in our city water supply. That makes sense of course.
It got me to wondering how many have run into a problem with flying off a lake with gas/glow planes with the possibility of contamination of course of the water. Yes I know we have a very small volume of fuel on board.
It would seem for this reason that electric power may be a better choice for both boats and float planes?
