Hey Ray,
Don't give my secret away .
Interesting idea about putting two floats together to gain extra pounds
for your regs. I will talk that up with a couple of float pilots.
Keeping spray off a lower prop is important.
I have regular floats for my Lazair, but the designer made a mono float
to save weight and facilitate amphib wheels; weight is not an issue for
our regulations until we get to the gross for our ultralight class
(Canuckland) - but they tell me weight and power mean everything for
safety and performance.
Most float pilots prefer high wings around docks etc. Goofy, beauty is
in the eye of the beholder, an ugly duckling that can get off the water
and fly safely is a beautiful thing.
Cheers,
drh
