    Floats as hulls ?

    @BJC, my friend Ed Hoffman's father was one of the group that built the Benoist replica hanging in the St. Pete / Clearwater airport terminal. @Pilot-34, (tried posting this before from my phone, no joy) if you search the EAA Sport Aviation archives ('70's) for the Kitalina, you'll find exactly...

    @VB Yes, Scott Perkins and Gregory Perkins are the same person. He told me some time back that he forgot his password and was never able to recover it, so he finally resorted to creating a new account Mikey B

    Family and I are at the coast for the weekend. Turns out we apparently drove "right past" it on the way here. I contacted the seller to try to stop by on the way home. The asking price had been reduced to $375 on Craigslist. Turns out he messaged me back that it is sold. I'm disappointed to not...

    Third homebuilt, Fleet model 7

    Gosh Sonny, This is going to be amazing to watch, from a distance, instead of close up. Of course you post this AFTER we moved from North Port back to OR (we were 13 yrs there). I'm guessing we probably met at some point. Though I never joined the PG chapter, I stopped in for the meetings on...

    Osprey 1, X28

    I've had the 0sprey1 plans from George for 15+ yrs. They aren't shown on his website, but I'm sure he still sells them. I've often wondered if there was ever more than just the prototype built. I've long had an interesting modded version in mind. Mike in FL

    Seaplane retracting gear.

    I'm not on HBA forums very often, and just found this thread last night. I've just found pics on a Yahoo group of another example of a ski equipped aircraft, a modified Fairchild C-123E. The Stroukoff YC-123E (55-4031) was designed to be operated from any surface: land, snow, ice, sand or water...

    Amphibious Ops Retractable Skis

    Resurecting this thread because of my interest in water operations... Orion, what is your association with the Privateer? I'm looking forward to seeing the roll-out of the design. Isn't that supposed to happen this year, OSH? There are similarities to configurations I have imagined before...

    Any amphian with wing fold?

    Yes, George did make the Osprey 1 (military X28) plans available. I bought a set long ago, and as far as I know, he will still sell them. Hope this helps. Mike Bynum
