Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the future of float equipped aircraft. I know there will always be a use for them but I can't help but think between insurance and maintenance on aging aircraft, the helicopter may be a more versitile and less cost-prohibitive option? ie. would an old 1...

Thanks for the reply...the larger, four seater model (BUSHCADDY L164) on amphibs caught my attention. Just was looking for opinions on fit, finish, performance etc.

Anyone know anything about these amateur builts?

190hp c-150??

Anyone aware of a reliable AME in the Timmins Ontario area who is real familiar with Piper Super Cubs?

No doubt! I was thinking outside of fire fighting...although that would be very cool to pull a 415 up to the beach at the cottage no?

Just curious what everyones thoughts are on the future of these amphibs. Do they have a place in commercial aviation or are they going to be cottage trophies? For example, I'm assuming a guy with time on amphib Cessnas & Dehavillands has a better chance of landing a float position than someone with ...

Read the report, it says the females jumped out...must have assumed it was a better option than the belly landing.

Interesting and informative, thanks!

Is it true the imported aircraft is subject to inspection from Transport Canada? I've heard between taxes and the inspection in question you're usually no farther ahead?

Great stuff Cat! Thanks for the information and direction. I've sent you a pm to pick your brain on the O-M project I have in mind. I'd appreciate your opinion on it, if you have the time!

Thanks again.

Hi everyone, Just curious if it is possible to find an instructor in SW Ontario who would provide lessons on a students O-M plane? For example, if I buy a Taylorcraft amphib but need dual hours for insurance would instructors be interested or turn the other way? I know where I can go for amphib inst...

Cat, could you check your pm's? Just a couple questions on your project!

Thanks.

There was a very, very cool T-craft amphib listed here for sale that I would have snappped up in a heartbeat if I had the cash. Gross weight was way up that would allow for two plus full tanks..got me tinkin...why not a 150/150 on amphibs? The freakin' "homebuilts" are no different.

Liability may be an issue as well..

Hi everyone!
Just looking for opinions on which would be a better entry level taildragger trainer keeping in mind floats may be added at a later date. Also, must be side by side seating to keep an eye on the youngins!
(so many options, not enough $$)

Interesting, thanks!

Is there an airstrip there? Sorry, just wanted to clarify looking for "fly-in"
property.

Just retirement dreaming! Anyone know of any airpark/cottage property on the water in Ontario? (don't have the cash for amphibs)
