   kl7jw added a post in a topic Floats for Sale    5 Jun 2013

   I'm pretty sure they're the 1260 version.  I'm not really knowledgeable about the Full Lotus Floats, but some more info:
     They measure 14 feet in length and, 6" 10" from the front end to the step, and have 8 inflation valves per float.  Of course, I have no manuals on them.
    
   By the way, the guy that sold the plane and floats to me told me the rigging was for the KF IV.  As I said before, I haven't installed them since I acquired the plane and floats, so I can't absolutely verify that the rigging is what he said.

   Floats for Sale

   I have a set of 14 foot Full Lotus floates with Kitfox IV rigging I want to sell. I've never installed them on my KFIV. They are somewhere around 6 to 8 years old, have been stored in my air conditioned shop since 2009. I acquired the floats with the purchase of my Kitfox. As far as I can tell, they are in good condition. Pictures available.
   
   I'm asking $3750 for them. They are located in Wilburton, OK. Pick up only, I will not ship them unless you prepay the crating and shipping and make arrangements with a truck carrier to pick them up. Reply to kl7jw at jwhart.us or phone 580- Five Seven Nine -0289.
   
   Thanks,

    Some folks just don't get it when it comes to them asking you to sign off on either mechanical or inspection work or flight instruction.  When you put your name on the line, you are asserting that you have inspected and found the aircraft in a safe condition for flight, and that you have evaluated the person's flying skills and found them to be competent for whatever endorsement in the case of flight instruction.  ANYTHING that goes sour after that inspection will be attempted to be tied to your endorsement/evaluation by any investigation.  I don't mind signing off an owner assisted inspection when I personally look at work the owner has done while I'm with him, but damned if I'll jeopardize my A&P ticket by just signing a logbook without personally inspecting the work.    
    
    I've had person come to me with over 100 hours of solo cross country flight time in their logbook, without an instructor's endorsement for it, wanting me to "sign it off so they could take the private pilot checkride".  Damned if I'll do that either.  Anybody wanting me to recommend them for a Practical test for flying, or a written exam is going to have to show me they have the knowledge and experience to successfully pass the test, and a verbal assertion by them don't show me that.   In the case of the person with all the solo cross country time, just a few weeks later, and without having his pilot certificate, he was out solo without any instructor endorsement and got killed due to weather.  I'm damn happy my signature was not in his logbook.

    Leonard,
    
    You're right, it's been too hot here the last week or so until today.  We only got to 90 degrees here so far today.  It's been up to 104 the last week.
    
    I got a few hours in in the last couple of weeks.  Had surgery on my left knee a month ago and it was just too damn sore to get in the Kitfox and fly, but its improving.  I did a bunch of reworking of things on the Kitfox while I couldn't bend that knee. 
    
    Re-did the brake lines, installed the Grove gear, re-did the fuel lines (I just couldn't see the need for two shut off valves in each line from the wing tanks to the header tank).  I replaced the SS Braided fuel lines with the alcohol resistant stuff and got rid of all those shut off valves.  Took about 6 pounds of old lines and valves out, put back less than 2 pounds.
    
    Yeah, them engines just go to automatic rough, it seems like, when you're beyond power off gliding distance to shore, and it gets even rougher running when you're ot there at night with overcast skies in a single engine landplane.

    Leonard,
    That bunch of self-appointed experts really do get going at times, don't they? 
    
    Same kind of thing my daddy used to raise hell at me about - "I buy you books, send you to school, and you still don't know how to read."

    Looks GOOD!  :beerchug:
    Sure would like to get back up that way so I could play in the snow with my KF IV.  Can't do it for a couple more years though.  Got some bone problems (knees) that have to be taken care of first.
