That site was originally made for volunteers to use, as well as visiting seaplane pilots, etc. Bottom line; lots of good stuff for those of us that enjoy the seaplane base during AirVenture. Oh yeah, we also recently added a complete list of all the volunteers!

Is a reversing propeller useful on a floatplane. We are building a Murphy Moose powered by the M14 radial engine and wonder if it is worthwhile investing in a reversing prop.

It is VERY useful for docking. The most useful thing is the ability to get very close to zero thrust right before you enter Beta for close quarters. You can also impress the natives by backing up from the gas pump!!.

Makes for very short landings, docking and mooring are much easier. BTW most turbine engines have full beta props. I won't say all turbines until I have seen all turbine setups... So the best I can do is say all the turbine setups I have seen have the full beta prop systems.

Just can't pull up to any old dock like you can with floats especially in a wind. Is this maybe why reversing props are more common on this type of aircraft?

It's a 94 kit but has upgrades that make it closer to a 98. Anyone interested?
