| Subject: | Need water rudders on 2850# Experimental |
I have AeroComp 2850# amphibious Superfloats for my Experimental CompAir 4HP.
Empty weight 1850#; max gross 2850#. These floats have a retractable main wheel
and fixed tailwheel (one on the back of each float).
The plane was registered as an Amphib, but has never flown on floats. In 3 weeks
I want to start getting it on the amphib floats. Aerocomp claims you don't
need water rudders. Everybody else says they're a must.
Does anybody know of a source for bolt-on water rudders -- preferably for a large
experimental (so they're less expensive). I haven't called Edo or other PMA
manufactures. I am not sure they would sell spare parts for use on a different
float. I'm sure they're also expensive, but in a pinch I would use them because
I think something will be necessary.
I am hoping to avoid something custom, although the wheels on the back of the floats
may interfere with standard water rudders.
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
Puddlejumper has WR for the smaller floats I use. Here is the info they
sent me re pricing for the single WR kit. I do not have them installed
but manage OK as I do very little docking.
