Garry,

If I was building or repairing a set of floats I'd first buy Wayne's
CD of how to do it. I'm still waiting for his fuselage CD to be finished.

curve to be excessive and beyond any reasonable requirement. He also
says that more recent designs have the spray rails vertical, keeping the
spray more confined than the originals would.

1. Does anyone have comment on the amount of work to make these fit and
the tools etc required to get them there? How was it handled on float
kits that people have built? We don't have the instruction manual for them.

2. Does anyone have comment on the vertical rail suggestion?

Hi Garry My floats have vertical spray rails at the front inside of each
float to keep spray away from the prop. Just ahead of the step there's
spray rails sticking out both sides and bent down about 30 degrees. No
compuond curves on any of them. The ones at the step are there more as lift
devices than to control spray and there has been some discussion about
leaving the outside ones off or cutting them down to prevent damage from
docks.

Thanks to all who replied. If we were building new I would be strongly
attracted to the vertical rail idea. As it is, adapting to vertical is a
pretty ugly kludge. Not sure what to do.

Hi Bob,

That helps. You have the right angle channel as a continuous piece,
stiffening the edge by effectively doubling the other right angle
channel but also to hold the spray rail. How far back did you run the
spray rail from the front of the float - I can't tell from the picture.

Gary,

The exact distance to run the rail from the front of the float is likely not
the same for your 1800's. But the first picture in the set (link) below may
give you an idea ratio wise of were to run it w/r/t your fwd spreader bar
location.

www.aacnet.com/elite/sprayrails

The spray rail itself is a cut-to-fit piece from 0.040" 6061-T6 sheet stock.
The 90 degree angle piece the sprail rail is mounted to, has one side worked
with a shrinker to bend it to match the shape of the float chine.

Hope this helps ...

Cheers,
Bob 612e

The real problem with docking is that the side skins are only .020 and not anywhere near tough enough to leave your plane unattended without a spring line to hold it off the dock.

Actually, the best was that air lift you had there, to lift the plane right
out of the water. Sure helped with the oil change I had to do on the water.
And I guess it saved your plane from that storm a few days before.

2 x 10 and 2 x 8 joined together to make a 90* and then bolted to the end of
finger dock. Tires slipped over and they roll as the airplane goes up and
down in waves. Worked GREAT!

concerned about docking & the fact that I`ve never seen another float
with
the outside railsPutting the saw away for now ,probably falls into the
category of aint broke. don`t fix. Bill

Actually, the best was that air lift you had there, to lift the plane
right
out of the water. Sure helped with the oil change I had to do on the
water.
And I guess it saved your plane from that storm a few days before.

I think the best I ever did.. and it was by fluke Drew.. those "rolling
tire" docks I made for everyone when Walter and Al came to visit in
Temagami. Worked like a charm.. never left a mark.... until the ice broke
them on me. I'll look for a picture to post.

The real problem with docking is that the side skins are only .020 and
not

anywhere near tough enough to leave your plane unattended without a
spring

line to hold it off the dock.
