Thanks again Jake. WOW those are some huge floats. 8)

Yep. I dont think thats a REAL plane, but another example for big floats would be the XC-47, the C-47 on floats. I believe that the floats it used are the worlds biggest floats, Edo model 540s if I remember correctly.

That is a realy good looking 130 with the floats on there. One of these days I'll get some time to fly it. Wink

Seeing that picture gave me an idea of how to do the floats on the Dash 8. I think they will extend down from the wingbox. That way they'll have good structural support and wont take away from the passenger cabin. Also I wont have to build bulges on the fuselage. It will also make for an interesting looking aircraft. Thanks again for the insperational link. Greg

(AN ODE TO GMAX) OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH GMAX! How I sometimes want to hug and kiss it. And other times want to smash, berate, and delete it. Gmax how I love and loathe thee. The crashes the errors the reinstalls. Gmax you are the whomb of my aircraft design. Oh Gmax my designing creating temptress. It must be love for you have taken my heartdrive. By Greg Ebnit
