I'm New Here
Hy to you all pilots!!
I'm new to the "Air Force", but I have to say that this forum is fantastic!
Anyway, several years ago I built an RV-3 B from the original kit, and I'm still flying it with joy every time that I could; after seeing online the picture of an RV-7 with floats a strange idea came to me...
So, I know that it's a strange idea and there are many factors to consider, but is technically possible to mount floats (with retractable gear) on an RV-3? I saw that there are different manufacturers that can provide floats, and I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the 200 hp from my current engine could do their job contrasting the extra wheight and drag, so I'm curious to know what the most experts could say about my idea.
Thanks for reading and nice flying to all !
