Hi, Paul...long time no see.

I'll say. Did I ever mention that I started my ascii airplane collection
back in 1988-89 (still at http://xcski.com/~ptomblin/planes.txt although I
haven't updated it in years and years) because you had an ascii Fly Baby
in your sig?

I bought my Fly Baby in the completed state, so I have to have an A&P do the
inspection every year. He inspects and points out what's wrong, and I do the
fixin'.

Oh, another question comes to mind - is it legal if I build the thing and
sell a 50% share to somebody else? Can they do maintenance work as well?
Or would it be better to find a partner first and build it together?

Best alternative might be a set of amphibious floats...I suspect there are
several vendors selling them for the Sportsman 2+2.

Yeah, there are, but amphib floats are so expensive I was just feeling out
whether straight floats would do for me. It sounds like probably not.

On a related note, do the US and Canada have water "airports of entry" for
float planes? I have a vision of having to land on the St. Lawrence and
taxi over the border and clear customs at a marina.
