Float performance tool
      
      Today would have been great but The insurance isn't in yet.  I'll let 
      you
      know about my performance.

      Would any of you guys on floats provide some examples of what take-off 
      times
      
      you are getting?
      The attached spread sheet contains a simplified version of the formula 
      on 
      the Stinson site. This one just multiplies wing loading, power loading 
      and 
      float loading times a constant.
      
      The two Rans examples look pretty good in that they are close to my 
      actual 
      numbers. The 170 number is also pretty close. The original formula gave 
      me a
      
      time of 5 or six seconds which is way off. If you play with different 
      weights this one seems to work. Not sure if variations in hp work as 
      well. 
      Since I'll also be trying two more sets of floats on this plane the 
      affect 
      of buoyancy will also be stest.
