Anyone who has real-world experience with floats.

Good-afternoon,

In relation to the Cessna 170B project, currently under development, the following floats are being modeled, and fully represented, each as individual options. More on that later.. however, If you have real-life access to, or experience with any of the following Floats (On Cessnas/Cubs, anything), please send me a PM!

Edo-2000 (89, or 89a)

Wipaire/Wipline 2100 Seaplane & 2100 Anphibious

Aerocet 2200


Thanks!

I've worked on floats and the 170, Cubs, etc. over the years. Most info and some scale drawings are on line.

What info are you hunting for?

Thanks for the reply Norm.

I've had some pretty good PM's come in ..

Specifically, what I'm looking for, as the post mentions, is experience with any of those four floats. I do have many drawings, photos, specs, etc.. Mostly looking for real-life experience with such, as candidates for a very stringent beta program.

Best,
- Joseph
 
I have access to a Turbine De Havilland Beaver on Wipline amphibious floats as well as a Cessna 185 on Edo amphib floats. Mike :wavey:
 
Single engine Float operation is different from Twin Engine. I only have personal experience with the RCAF's CC138 when they put on #802's Floats. I'm not going there about #804 although:banghead:
