Hope you got back ok. I would pm av8rps about the floats. He seems to be the local expert. It looks like they were set up to just mount to the axels. I looked online and can't find any pictures that mount that way. I wonder if he just used the floats as skis? Some guys brag about them as the best skis available.
Bought a Kitfox 5 (tailwheel) May 2017 and have a lot to learn. First time airplane owner. Have Lotus 1450 floats that came with plane and plan to install in about a year after I'm familiar with things. Anyone out there who knows how to rig the floats I sure could use help when the time comes. Plan to ferry from MN to TX on 22 June so let me know if you're on the way and perhaps we (IP & I) will stop in for gas. I'm a member of EAA 670 in Fort Worth, TX.
