Kitfox 3 on Amphib Floats?

http://www.teamkitfox.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=931 Will give more info on my model 4 amphib.

I have the Aerocet 1100 amphibs. They are a bit small for my piggish model 4, but I still like them. A better float would be the Zenair (AKA CZ, or czech built) 1200 amphibs. They have more buoyancy and a better landing gear, and are lighter.

Installing amphibs can be a project, but well worth it in my opinion.

That's great. Thank you so much.

One thing I forgot to mention; a few years back there was a really great guy that would bring his 582 powered Model 3 on straight Aqua floats to the EAA Oshkosh Seaplane Base to show as well as to give rides to volunteers. For years he gave more rides than anyone, so just a little more proof that a Model 3 will work on floats, even with only 64 hp.

Oh, and those Aqua straight floats probably are close to the weight of some of the newer, lighter amphib floats So performance on amphibs would be similar to that straight float Kitfox.
