This is how I spent my Sunday.... Annual time, before it gets dragged 1/2 mile through the woods and across a highway to the lake access

J-3 with a 90hp continental.... don't know specific anything about the floats.... but you float guys will.

I rode in it once a few years back, my only float experience to date.

What I remember most was the first landing in a local lake.....  it just seemed totally unnatural to be bobbing around on the water, but sitting in a airplane.

But I could get used to it.... (it WAS fun)

just pull out on the runway.  As you accelerate with the truck hold full down and wait for about 50-55 then firewall it and take off... save you from draggin it through the woods.  Course we want video of it all to  ;)

they are very fun flying planes and are pretty damn close to the kitfox on floats except the KF is alot lighter and more responsive on the controls.  Either one they are very relaxing to fly.  Nice plane!  Most of the J-3's and T-crates around here are on EDO 1320's I could not tell for sure but from the pics I think that is what he has on there also.
