Steve,
Beautiful job on the Firefly.
I have a few questions for you regarding those floats. Did you build them, or buy them already built?
Do you have any floats plans? Where did you learn to fly a small airplane on floats? What angle did you "raise" them to? I could go on and on. I have intentions to put floats on my MkIII someday(after I have it flying).
I appreciate any information you're willing to share with us about installing floats.

Thanks Mike,
They are Czech Floats from www.skyshops.org
no plans
I learned at Brown's Seaplane Base and from EP Dalton in Key West
The Firefly seems to like about 6 degrees between the bottom of the wing and the top of the float
Good Luck on your project
steve

The flight test today went without a hitch, We did not expect any problems because it already had quit a few hours on wheels. We also used the same mounting configuration as we did on #007
