I purchased a set of GWS floats (for my GWS speed 400-size Tiger Moth). They look great on the plane.
Anyway, since I don't live near any water, I decided to make a change at TEMAC. I made arrangements for a crane and a digging crew to dig up a wide drench, about 10 feet wide, 5 feet deep, and about 100 feet long, at the eastern end of our field, in a north-south direction. I'm hoping that enough water will drain into and fill this hole so that we can take of from the water on our floats. I suppose landing on the water will be more of a challenge.
In case it doesn't fill enough, I'm going to ask all members to bring some water buckets each time you come flying.
