Hi Paul, I'm going to build the amphib floats that are sold by Zenair Canada. Seem to be the best fit with my current setup! :) Cheers! http://www.zenairfloats.com/

If anything is weak on the Zen STOL's it's the nose gear and the bungee! I don't like it, never have but since I'm going to put on amphibs in the near future I was never too worried about it. I've had issues with Jan but this is one of his better ideas. Reports are that milling the block causes no issues, but if you are worried about it I'm sure you can leave it as is. The steering (rudder) is tight while the weight is OFF the nose, it's actually easier to move on the ground. The pre-load option makes it easier to move in the air. I'm looking at getting this, but I'd probably leave the notch in the block anyways. If it's greased up well, it's usually not that bad. My $0.02. :)

I'm from Thunder Bay, in Northwestern Ontario! :)

Hi! Been a lurker here for a while and decided to introduce myself. I'm currently building a Zenith CH750. Almost done and should be flying by early spring. I have a build thread on homebuiltairplanes.com just look under the members projects thread... It's usually near the top as I update it regularly. Hope to get good info from this site and just read things of interest. I'm a sucker for anything that flies, especially the smaller things. Cheers Mark
