Thanks for the pictures, Michael and Greg.  I'm glad Greg was able to get a couple of good pictures of his Eagle on floats.  It looks great!

Great recap of the evening's events, guys. Makes me wonder what my 2nd or third plane should be :-)

if your looking for a float plane the flyzone beaver looks like a winner

[BobbyW]

Thanks Greg, I'll keep that in mind.

It's made of foam and they all look the same. (I'm trying).

O.K., now settle down and let's talk about this...

You DON'T want a Flyzone Beaver because there are already TOO many at the shoreline.  They are ugly.  They don't float very well.  They don't fly worth beans.  The nav. lights are a gimmick.  The plane is expensive.  You have to buy a whole bunch of extra parts to build it.  It takes a LONG time to build.  You have to buy the float separately and figure out how to mount them.  Float flying is NO fun at all.  You DON'T want a Flyzone Beaver.

There.  Better?

Hang on, I thought it came with everything needed for floats? This could be the deal breaker?

[battlestu]

And I think Robert built and test flew his at the field one evening.

Ed, you're not helping! And you don't even have a float plane fetish (as far as I know)!

[Papa]

A deal breaker???
