Float Kit - owner manufactured parts
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2022 6:11 pm
Hi Folks,
I guess I just like to spend money and time...
From what I've red from other topics on the site, finding the parts for a Cessna 140 float kit is next to impossible. See here viewtopic.php?t=1753
Looking at the drawing the parts themselves are neither complicated or challenging to make or have made. It makes me think, if there are a number of owners that would be interested in float kits, could we not as a group have them manufactured? the cost would be less then a one off.
Is that something there is a reasonable interest in? It will of course fall the the AME/IA to sign off on each install.
