| Subject: | Zenair aircraft FLOATS |
I have had quite a few Glasair customers contact me in regards to floats. Here
are typical questions and answers.
- Does Zenair manufacture a 2200 lbs float?
Yes, straight and amphibious.
- Factory built or kits?
Both. You can purchase a parts kit or pre-drilled kit or factory built.
- Prices?
www.zenairfloats.com will give you the latest prices.
- What type of retracting system?
Option of electric or hand pump. System is hydraulic and 100% external so no need
to ever open the floats. Main wheels are 600x6 Grove type with a 400X4 at the
front.
- How do I mount the floats to my aircraft?
Zenair supplies a rigging / spreader bar kit. However, you need to have the mounting
points on your aircraft.
- Are these the same 2200 floats as what the Czech company used to sell?
Yes, the Zenair floats were first designed by Zenair in the 1980's and production
went to the Czech's in the late 1990's. Zenair has taken back the float production
and has made some changes to the floats as to make them easier to build.
The Czech company was not selling kits so they got very complex. Now that Zenair
is selling kits, its important that they are easy to assemble.
- Where do I get more info on this.
Please contact me, Mathieu Heintz at 705-526-2871 or by email at newplane@gmail.com
I do not often get the opportunity get on this forum site.

Hi,
Glasair is no longer selling the Glastar which had the 2200 lb gross.
The current kit is the Sportsman 2+2, which has a 2500 lb gross when on
floats.
Do you sell a 2500 float that would work on the Sportsman?
Thanks,
-Dj

Hi DJ,
Zenair is only manufacturing the 2200 floats right now. Since there are quite a
few Glastar's out there, there is a lot of interest.
If Zenair gets enough interest for 2500 floats, Zenair will start offering them.
About half the price of certified, lighter, as tough and excellent performance.

I'm building a Sportsman 2+2 that I hope to have on amphib floats one
day, so please mark me down as the first interested person. :-)

DJ,
I'm building (from plans, Zenith used to offer all the different float sizes
in plans only as well) a set of 1100 amphib Zenith floats for the 701 in
the shop, VERY easy to build, good directions. You will enjoy working with
Zenith.
