Kestrel on Floats

After a lot of rigging we finally took off today.Thanks guys for the help with the rigging.

Well done Howie!! If it handles as good as it looks you've done a mighty job. Gotta say that your finished product makes the T83 Thruster that the floats were originally fitted to look absolutely 'stone axe' in comparison. Keep the forumites posted as to your progress with test flying. Congrats! cheers Riley

Well done Howie, that is really what ultralight flying is about ... The adaptability. Please keep us posted on your flying progress. I am particularly interested if you use normal float technique on take off ( stick full back, full power, up on the step, stick forward, accelerate to take off speed and rotate), or is she so light she just stays on the step and lifts off. I am looking at fitting floats to my Javelin, so am particularly interested.

 

BTW. Watch out for that ol Cannuck, he will lead you astray ... Have you seen the mob he associates with??? ROFLMAO
