Mal, The part shown on the drawings is a special extrusion available only from Zenith and they turned over all their float stuff to Skyshops and Czech Aircraft Works, they haven't been anxious to sell just keel strips when I asked but if we ordered enough for several sets maybe they would ,I'll ask.

Failing that we are left with bending up something from 090 or .125 strip.  John

it at the corner  but it is only 8 ft long and I need 8ft4 in   then it wont 

land on a  bulk head or stifiner  so I need another 2 ft  on the  rear buttom  I 

need to know  what type of matereal to  get   bending the cromoli   of 050 

for the mounting at  bulkhear 3 and 5 is not a problem  do I also need to build 

2 more stifiners  to fasten the float to the plain?or is it only fastened at

I can not take it any more!!.  mal, I may be the only one you drive away 

from this forum, but what if I am wrong???  How many opportunities for 

experienced educated assistance might you be blowing off with this 

absolutely atrocious spelling and grammar?  Good bye and good luck!
