I looked but have no pics of crimping the bungees.
Here is a finished one with tape on it . I was out of heat shrink at that time.

OK, but do you have any experience with this.
Have you seen them in use or used them yourself?

yes and yes and I still stand by my earlier statement, unless they have changed
drastically in the last few years. I cant get pics right now as I am 900 miles
away from the floats.

Ok thanks for answering and forgive me for asking but
could you elaborate a bit more.
I have already built a setup for the main wheels that is strong and good.
But I am not quite sure if the rear end of the floats is strong enough to support
tail wheels without bending the tubes.

| Subject: | Missing Rotax 912S - A concern? |
Just want to pass this onto you 912 and 912S drivers.
I was flying with a friend and after take off at an away airport, we were at
about 400 ft and my 912S developed a little miss. Pulling the power back a
bit stopped it, but when I went back to full power, there it was again. We
went back down but couldn't duplicate it on the ground. Took off and again
and at about 400 ft there it was again. We left it at that airport for a
few days rather than fly home over the mountains.
A few days later, I replaced the plugs - It had been 220 hours any way - and
they all looked good. I did notice that the cap on the bottom plug on the
#2 cylinder was loose. I was hoping that that was it. A test flight showed
no problem, so I flew it home.
A couple of weeks later, I was taking a friend up, and at about 400 ft above
the ground there it was again. A real careful check showed the cap on the
bottom plug on the #2 cylinder was real loose and the top cap, while not a
loose as the bottom one, was looser than all the others.
I decided two new caps were in needed. They are like $55 each from Lockwood.
Wow!
The picture is the old bottom cap with the rubber insulation cut off. It
has a lot of wear making the hole elliptical.
I am hoping I have the problem solved. But have some questions:
Why the #2 cylinder?
Why both caps on this cylinder?
Has anyone else observed this problem?
Why would the cap wear like this?
Why are the spark plug caps for the 912S so expensive? The plugs for the
582 are more reasonable at a few bucks each. ???
Is there something weird with my installation that causes the vibration
problem at that cylinder?

The setup that was on the KF III bent the crap out of the spreader bars and the
tube tails. I am sure you could use heavier tubes and get away with it, but
I would not be real hip on it. Make sure you grease every landing or be ready
for a good ride. The setup I saw and took off my brothers KF II ( he bought
them from a guy that had them on a III and put them on his II), I would have only
used for beaching gear (land in the water, taxi to shore, drop the gear and
pull up on the beach) I would not have tried landing with wheels down on hard
surface, maybe, maybe, a nice grass runway so when things went south you could
just slide in on the grass without much damage to the plane.
I know a guy years ago that had a mono float on his koala and he had pure trouble
with the setup. you may have something better now, but the original rigging
and tailwheel from full lotus left much to be desired. The floats and amphibian
setup were designed for ultralights that were 250# and landed/took off at
15-20 MPH. Guys have since been stuffing them on larger faster planes and not
all results were desirable. You may have a better system. Post up pics of
yours and I can tell you if it is the same as the one I dealt with.
