Snake and others interested in floats-I bought the floats from Kasper Naef

in Nelson BC and he built them as retractable prototypes with the Muktuk guy

in Vancouver. Muktuk has now abandoned the project and sells only plans.

The floats were originally 16 feet long but Kasper cut some off the tails

and used them on his Rans Courier, but did not use the retracts.  They are a

little oversize for a Kitfox II and I am already thinking of doing the

Kitfox 7 kit in a year or two.  The floats weigh #220 with spreaders, so my

KII will be a single place with them, but thats OK, nobody around here is

crazy enuf to fly with me.  The retracts are actuated by compressed air and

auto airbags-very ingenius concept but needs tinkering.  Don Usher has

promised to help with the tinkering.  Thats why they call us EXPERIMENTAL.
