1135.0. "Float flying tips" by IGUANO::WALTER () Thu Oct 26 1989 19:25

I finally got my hands on some floats for my Kadet, thanks to Kevin Ladd. They
are Gee Bee plastic floats, supposedly sized for .40 ships.

Now, I remember reading SOMEWHERE in this conference a whole series of tips
on how to set up the floats and how to fly off water. But I spent an hour
searching through the keywords, searching on strings, etc. No luck. Can
someone point me to the right note?

    The keyword, FLOAT_FLYING, pointed to the originally correct topic,
    note 142, but not the other entries on floats.  I have since fixed that
    appropriately for the entries listed below.  And I changed the title
    and keywords of 142. 
    
        48.12		set up info by Tom (responding to 48.8)
        48.20		info by Al (last paragraph)
        48.22		set up info by Al
        239.155		an Al Casey yarn 
        239.740		Casey's report on a float fly
        328		Water flying (including comments on Gee Bee)
        762		"My floats are too big!!" (see 762.11)
        1135.1		this sorta directory
    
    To minimize fragmentation, I deleted the new but parallel keyword.
    
    Eventually most of these entries will be consolidated, so please append
    new entries to 328, not here.
