End of Season: Floats Off Wheels On

Post by elist » Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:07 pm

I posted a one minute stop-action movie on YouTube showing the process of
removing the 1800 amphib floats and putting the gear on. This process takes
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.
