Hi everyone,
What's your opinion on the T-craft as an entry level float trainer?

Good choice, what floats and what engine?

Thanks Cat,
Just doing a little research at this point but have a lead on an F19 with low time Continental O-200 engine and airframe. I've seen a couple options for floats but am really curious about the new Baumann BF1500 certification...not completely sure if it's official but have read some good things! It appears the EDO 1320's and 1400's are a popular choice but can't speak from any experience....whatsoever

I appreciate any opinions.

I used to own a BC12D 65 H.P.on Edo 1320's.

Great little toy.

I seen a T-craft on floats once, it preformed like a mini Norseman!! Only it was a whole lot quieter =)
