Guys! I am needing some assistance on putting my Kitfox IV-1050 on Full Lotus floats. I am a rookie so I'd need help on some of the basics.

Would love to chat with you on the phone if you have the time. Please send me your info via private email message through the forum.

Questions:

1. I have a 65HP Blue Head 582 with no clutch on my prop. Do I need a clutched prop?
2. Can I use my existing warp drive prop or do I need something different.
3. I have narrowed my selection down to either Zenair or Full Lotus (1260s); cost, weight, and performance. Would love additional opinions or experience.
4. I am planning on buying a used set of floats. How do I go about rigging the floats to the plane? Can I use the gear struts from my taildragger config? Do I buy/build the rest? How about the spreader bar, buy or build?
5. I have a Kitfox IV-1050 completed in 1992, do I need to beef anything up structurally before putting her on water?

Thanks for the help!
