Kurt,
I'm coming down to live with you and work at the Comp Air factory.....I'll make your floats for ya...........seems to me they are the lightest and toughest going right now. Using carbon stuff..........pricey, but they all are now. And they will make the amphibs too.............
Sid
do you really live that close to Merritt Island? I'm not going to work for them, but would......love that "Monster Comp" four place.

Oh, I forgot. Grounded yet. Sorry. I was distracted
by hangar door dreams too.
Where is this lake front property anyway?
My ideal plan is to have a runway on one side and a
hangar on the other, somewhere in the Rockies.
Somewhere that I can afford.... With fish and birds
and wildlife. Animals too. 
Second question: How are the aerocomp floats? At
least weight wise and apparent toughness?
I am 20 miles from the AeroComp factory now and some
floats are in the future. I havent committed to
plastic, metal or rubber yet, but like the amphib
idea.

According to the original schedule I should have a
hundred hours or more
experience to report on the Dynon. Sadly, I have it
in the panel but am
about a month (I know, you've heard THAT one before)
from flying. Sitting in
the cockpit on the ground, the Dynon looks great.
The only steam gauge I
have is backup airspeed but I do have the internal
battery backup in the
Dynon.
Randy, thanks for posting your hanger door picks. I
plan to begin
construction on my lakefront property next summer. I
hope to be living the
dream of a hangered floatplane in the basement in a
few years.

I am just a hop, skip and a gelendishsprung away from
Merrit Island myself. Nice bunch at CompAir with a
wide range of products now. Even a jet or turboprop
powered fast glass coming along for those with mucho
deneros. I favor the -6 or -7 for sleeping quarters
for 2 in the wild. My bank favors a kite.
I wonder about the carbon fiber. According to ACS,
that is not good impact resistance (Hello NASA) so
when I used it on my wing strut fairings, I covered it
with S glass. Thin Kevlar over carbon would be better
for bullet proof floats. Not cheap anyway you do it.

Not sure of the floats, have seen them at Oshkosh, but nothing really to compare to. Ah money, the root of all desires..........

Yes Sid, try to find that in your spellcheck,
especially here in Brazil where I am for the night.
Skiing? Is that where you strap 2 boards to your feet
and go down hill on your butt? I claim more desire
than experiese. Looking for that alpine homestead in
the Rockies though.
