Hi Chuck... <<u

Now I knew you knew this but just wanted to refresh your memory..... :whistle:

http://www.wipaire.com/myaircraft/dehav ... floats.php

Check out the cost of those Floats...
Amphibious $593,500
Floats $375,900
Installation......Amphibian....$49,400
Seaplane......$38,800
All in US Dollars... :D
Please do not let your dog work out the fuel...however I know you have lots of money to replace and fix floats because Santa Clause keeps dropping off my gifts at your wigwam and overflying my teepee... :lol:

Oh...did I mention another nice set again... :D

Good morning Chuck... <<r


I get a monthly letter every month from them in my e-mail.

One can check the price of:
-skis including tail ski
-floats
-amphibious floats
-updated avionics and modifications

for each type of aircraft from their site and off that Link.

Water obstructions, floating debris, logs, poorly maintained docks, well you name it can make for some expensive repairs or replacements even for a bug smasher driver... <<q
