Floats 2006 Citabria 7ECA

Post by Scandinaviansky »

Hi!

Any recommendation what floats to put/ are allowed on a 160hp 2006 Citabria 7ECA?
And maybe where to get some?

Also some skis would be interesting.

Thanks!

You may want to really look into that closely if you want an ECA on floats.
I had an GCBC in the 80s with CAP 2000s on it and though I bought it in Canada and
I was the third owner in Canada I had to prove to TC that those floats were legal on that
airframe and back then it was the E and I Manual that did it for me. Don't expect help from
TC. Further if memory serves the ECA has an O 290, 135 HP and NO FLAPS and I believe
a shorter wing than the GCBC.
I'd be surprised if it is allowed. regards

The 7ECA was certified on PK-1800 have flown one with 115 HP works fine.
