Eric,

Great video. I don't think I've ever seen anyone work so fast in my life.
Good tips.

Where did you get your floats?
Thanks

about a day for me working pretty casually. As you can see, I hang the
airplane using chain hoists from the front wing attach points up to the
hangar roof. Prior to this, I unhook hydraulic lines and cables. This is
the
only thing that takes any real time. The actual swap out is quick.

minutes ot 4 hours .. going either way and that includes bleeding the
brakes.

Wayne.

I enjoyed your HD videos from this past summer. These little video cameras
are tremendous fun. Sometimes useful. And a wonderful waste of time.

This latest little camera came with a water-proof housing. I'm thinking
about putting it in the wheel well of the floats and watch the chaos that
goes on during water takeoffs and landings.

Tons of fun.

Eric

I'd love to see that one Eric.. as the tire sitting down so far tends to
become a false step with an over agressive take off procedure.
