I live on a lake and I've thought about it ................ AND, the problems I see are. 1. the weight of the floats would be too much for a standard KR2, the MTOW would prohibit the floats being fitted. 2. being so short coupled (distance between wing and tail plane) the extra drag of the floats may cause handling issues, this is a very broad statement as I know nothing from an engineering point. 3. the horse power to get off the water is more. 4. the drag of the floats would limit top end speed (this should be the first problem :-). 5. it isn't designed for it, buy something else.
The reason I have not bought a float plane is that I love the perfomance of my KR2.

Has anyone put floats on their KR, or does anyone have any information on floats for the KR-2 ?. Thanks Robert --------------------------------- Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!
