Trey Johnson?s email address is N67683(at)gmail.com. I?m not sure he
wants it made public, but he seemed OK giving it to me at the NWEAA
fly in Arlington, WA (I didn?t see you there Dave), so there it is. I
emailed him about two weeks ago as I?m considering putting floats on
my RV-8, but he never responded. His airplane is based at Renton, WA,
about 20 miles from where I am. His floats were made by Clamar Floats
(clamarfloats.com) in London, Ontario (in your backyard Terry) and run
about $30k USD. Not cheap, but they are beautiful floats. I talked
to Claire Sceli, the owner, and he said he makes all the fittings and
can make them for an 8. The floats were installed by Synergy Air in
Eugene, OR (synergyair.com). I also talked to Wally, the owner, and
would have him work up an installation for me if I decide to do this.
There are issues with limited elevator authority that they (Trey and
Wally) are still working on. I?ve decided that my next project is a
float plane, so if I don?t do this to the 8 I may sell it and buy a
RANS S7 and put it on floats. I lot cheaper with money left over.
