6 place airplane

I am waiting on my Moose kit #and is will have the large tanks! With the
large tank option I anticipate being able to go fishing from place to place
for an extended period without returning to an airport. The Moose is
evidently proving very popular since I have been assigned serial number 241.

Aahh. But then I would put in extra large gas tanks, and still be back
with
the same 'problem.'

Cool. Which floats are you putting on it? Straights or Amphibs? I took
my Husky up north with Wipline 2100A's. What a trip!

Amphibs. When I was there a few months ago, Murphy was starting a pair of
prototype floats for the Moose. They should be availible later this year.
I also plan to use both wheels and skis. My hanger was engineered to take a
4000lb point load in the center so my plan is to lift the plane with a hoist
and swap gear.

Welcome to the club Mike. Did you get a quick build? There's a few
choices for amphibs now Montana is building and a guy near me is
working on a composite set. There's a rebel builders list you might
want to join at https://www.dcsol.com/public/code/html-subscribe.wcx
It's mostly rebel stuff but some elite and moose chatter as well. My
Rebel is hanging from the rafters right now while I fit a set of wheel
skis of my own design. Changing from wheels to floats takes about a
day.

I ordered the quick build kit and the delivery time is about 9 months. I
think that this is actually good for me becasue by the time I have to make
choices on prop, floats ect there will probably be a body of expertise that
doesn't exist yet. Thanks for the link, I will probably start lurking there
over the next few months.

Thanks. There will be a lot of options by the time I have the airplane
completed. I'm hopeful that the floats from Murphy will be less expensive
than certified floats.

Mike,
If you haven't already, you might want to check out
www.seaplanes.org . It is the quintessential seaplane site.
