I have my Zenair floats built to the point of needing rigging
information.....anybody out there familiar with the method, formula,
etc., for Zenith 1150A (amphibious) floats on a Kitfox IV?

floats..amphibian...to fit the 'fox. I needed a project now that the
Seabee is finished, and I couldn't get floats out of my mind. When I
first got the Kitfox, a few folks on the Matronics Kitfox List said
that with a clipped wing 'fox and only 85 horsepower, the plane
wouldn't get off the water. So I accepted that, and forgot about
floats. Now that I'm older and stupider, I decided to either prove
'em wrong, or prove that I'm makin' more than 85hp. Either way, the
building is (sorta) fun, and it keeps me out of bars. But it also
is keeping me from flying....I've only got 1585 hours on the old
girl. My problem is I just can't do things in moderation....it's
either fly or build. : )
