To All,
I was going through some pictures last night and came across this one. It has been two years since we all lost a great asset to our sport as well as a great friend to all that knew him. I think about Norm every time I see a Floatplane because he was so excited about this project. Norm was brave enough to test fly some of my crazy ideas and I miss him.

If anyone would like to see more pictures of this day let me know. this photo was shot just seconds after the first test flight.

Steve

Doing good as soon as I get a fuel regulator in & installed I will be

ready to start the eng. I still need to install the windsheild, doors &
rework the center section to clear the 912s. I have left it on the gear
till I get all these problems worked out so I won't have to work around
the floats. I'll than give it a float test in the pond to see if it sinks
with my fat (at)#$ in it. Talked to the local Gato office they said I
wouldn't have to have a retractable sign off to fly with the floats on
till I get my sea plane rating.

Rick,
I think it is a great idea to learn the airplane with standard gearlegs. The added weight and drag of the floats should not be taken lightly.
