Hi Paul,
Thanks for the great article. I had never given floatplanes any thought until
recently. I don't remember what made me think more seriously about them, but
it may have been the video for the Murphy Moose that I received with a product
information kit earlier this year. I went to Oshkosh for the first time this
year and saw a Beaver on amphibious floats, then took a trip over to the seaplane
base. After that, I was completely hooked. I now realize that I want to
be on floats when I grow up. Now I just need to see if I'll ever be able to
afford to fly in that capacity!
I've never really taken a serious look at a fabric-covered aircraft. I always
assumed that an all-metal plane was a better option. Perhaps I need to take another
look at them, especially for all the reasons you described in your article.
Thanks again for the great read :-)
Best regards,
Chris

Chris,
You should make a trip ip to Bloomer WI (20mi N of EAU). At our field,
we have the nations largest volume Challenger dealer...Don Zank. I have
a Challenger II on Puddle Jumper amphibs. It is sooo much fun. I have
put nearly 80 hours on it since the ice broke up. Come up and we will
treat you to an intro to real fun and in-expensive float flying....ie
plane (used) for around $18K. Floats (new) for $5500. Fly around at 65
to 70 mph on 5 gph!!

Hi John,
You're the second person who's mentioned the Challenger aircraft to me. Our kids'
sitter's husband's father (yeah, I know...) is a Challenger dealer out here
in Waunakee (or is it Madison). He tells me it's loads of fun to fly them as
well. If two people say so, it must be true :-)
I briefly looked at a couple of web sites that sell the Challenger, but they were
so horrible that I couldn't get a decent look at one. Perhaps I'll try to
get a closer look at one from the father-in-law, who's apparently been selling
them for a long time out here.
I might have to drop by the next time I'm up in your neck of the woods, so to speak.
Thanks for the info :-)
Best regards,
Chris

Good site here on Challengers. http://challenger.ca/
I am not a Challenger owner , but I will say that they have a great group of
owners that help each other out.
That Site has a few videos that compare the 503 and 582 Challenger on
Floats. really shows you why a 582 is so popular although the 503 isa great
engine.
Kitfox or Avid on floats is hard to Beat. Cruise in a side by side cabin
on Amphibs from 80 to 110 mph with ease depending on the engine a 582 or
912 is my comparison.

Try:

I was looking at a Challenger a while ago. The folding wings on the Kitfox
won out!

Shorty:
I did some time in a PA 18 Super Cub last week.......finally got most of the
time for the endorsement. Wow what a ride... 160 Hp gets the lead off the
water real fast. Having the instructor in the rear seat was perfect. Most
of the time I was hardly aware he was there. There wasn't the same pressure
as having an instructor sitting beside you. The plane itself behaved like a
'fox on a mega dose of steroids. Landing speed was a bit higher but it
seemed to drop off step very fast..... As for getting up on step 160 Hp says
it all! One notch of flaps was like throwing the hook (anchor) overboard.
