Steve pointed out that the prop on the Otter hangs down to the floats and
erosion isn't a major problem, probably due to geared engine and lower prop
RPM. Seems the M14 would benefit from the lower prop RPM also.
He doesn't recall a lot of spray with Ron's Moose with the long two blade
either but this is on straight floats. It is probably sitting a little
higher in the water than amphibs would.
FWIW

Hi Scott:
Any light you can shed on prop clearance issues on floats would be greatly appreciated.
Some of the guys must have some time on rough water now. Every water
takeoff in the Philippines is rough water, with open ocean and constant trade
winds. Downwind taxi turns with the big-tail 185 are challenging.
Hi Mark:
I'm in Singapore now, Bangkok tonight, and Manila on Friday. But I don't know
if I'll make it up for the balloon fiesta. The amphib hasn't been flown for a
while and the engine is still perserved. Not sure if I'll get it un-pickled
and thoroughly looked over before the weekend.
Regards,
Loray

You are correct that the Moose needs more wing area with the M14 and also that
an M14 Moose is going to weigh at least 2000 lbs. My own is bare bones with lots
of beef ups and it weighs 2222 on big tires. A late model 185 with a fancy
panel can also top 2000 lbs on big tires. A Beaver will come in around 3200 on
wheels with just a shade more HP than the M14.
I used the stock tips as Scott mentioned and added a bay to each wing (13") Scott
and I also added trailing edge to the flaps and ailerons for more area.
Prop spray is not a concern as those big blades are only turning 1941 rpm on takeoff
and even at heavy weights it is on the step and off in short order. After
100 hours I see no sign or erosion on Ron's blades (Russian 2 blade). I never
had much for prop erosion on my 185 either but I have seen poor habits on the
water take its course.
If you really want to build something YOURSELF and think the Moose is the plane
then you should investigate further. If you plan to have someone else build one
I personally think you are asking for a headache and a huge BILL. The 185 holds
up to severe abuse very well and it sounds like yours is already flying.
