Can I put hangar 9 120 size floats on a 73” yak? Most float planes are high wing. Is it ok to do a yak with mid wing ? I could do flaperon mix. |

| BarracudaHockey | I wouldn't have any trepidation about flying the H-9 15cc Cub with floats. I almost bought one at Perry for that very reason. | |

Is anyone flying floats with a 20cc gas enigjne? Searches in this thread only brought up planes that are discontinued for the most part. At this point I was leaning towards a Seagull Glasair or Hangar 9 15cc Cub. Thanks so much, Aaron |

| daddysam | I tried to taxi test my Hempel Cub on Sig Floats this week. Somewhere in these threads and magazine articles there should be warnings to float flying newbies to NOT try to do anything when there is a brisk wind blowing! It only took seconds for the wind to pick up a wing, submerge a float, and push the wingtip a foot under water��. That's when I found out that the back of the wing was pretty much open behind the aileron. Took a second to put a quart of water into the wing. I have some mods to make to my water rudders too. | |

float weight? Hi all, I have a Pilatus Porter with DLE 55RA (plenty of power), AUW 26,5lbs (on wheels), wingspan 114", wing area 11sq ft and I am scratch building 59" floats. What would you reckon should be optimal weight of the complete float set, i.e. floats themselves, water rudders, rigging, etc.? Thanks for experts' input! PS: I hope I haven't miscalculated the imperial units miso |
