Living on a farm, not only do I have 600 acres to fly on but also the farmers irrigation dam as well! (Ain't life hell!)

*** Sounds just ideal Kiwi,I saw those floats for fitting to the GWS Tiger Moth they look ideal for puddle jumping,my own strip is 50 feet below the level of a road and flanked by trees one side and an allotment the other,to take off requires a sharp left turn out to miss a tree ! once you get above that lot in clean air it is great,these mall electrics are ideal and I now have a Chrislea Ace and a scaled up twice size Frog Tomtit biplane in the mini fleet,having destroyed by Lipoly's with the incorrect speed controller I now need to get some new ones for next seasons flying,hopefully the new Swedish technology with the wafer cells promised now for the past three years will have happened,imagine just providing a slot to push in the cells out of sight with a weight saving as well ?
Lightweight floatplanes appeal to many and now that electric flight has reached new heights perfectly possible,even multi engined types not dreamed possible could now be tackled,just think of those high wing twin Dornier boats ?
