The only place within reasonable driving distance from where I
live that will do a MES commercial charges $500 an hour in a
twin sea bee. I figure it may be cheaper to spend the money on a
airline ticket and a week's stay in a hotel in order to get it
done somewhere in a Apache or something on floats for $200 an
hour...
Snort!
there's only one apache on floats, fjukkwit.
Maybe you can do it in a Cessna 150 with a Cox engine screwed on
the outside.

I've got an old .049 "Golden Bee" variant to spare. Would that
make it a SuperCub?
Oh yeah, that was the big tank version with the inverted tank, wasnt
it?
Still got scars on my fingers from starting those things.

Yeppers...and yes to the scars...especially with a 'new' nylon prop.

Not to mention god knows how much hearing damage!
