Don
Another experienced source in Canada told me today that it takes 4-6 hours to go from floats to wheels.

10-12 hours amphib to wheels.

That’s one way timing when all parts are there. Spreader bar really helps too.

Del,
what kind of amphib floats are these?
Do you have a set of wheels?

Edo 3500.
Yes I have spare land gear, stinger, and wheels. They are already on the plane. The plane has already been painted. Getting close to removing wheels and reinstalling floats.

Not sure I would put that much money in these floats.

I'd guess "Pros" who do it a lot every year like in Canada.

Some guy in a hangar next to me has a C185 on amphibs (I think he is from Marquette). I watched him taxi out one day on the floats and the next day I see his floats setting beside his hangar. Must not be too bad of a job. Gotta say for $1000, I like your way better. :thumbup:
