KR-netters: On the subject of low-wing float planes, it seems tome I have seen a few of the Piper "Spam-Cans" fitted with floats but most that I have seen are mid-wing craft or high wing Cessna types. It probably could be done but I would worry about the wood parts of the KR as well as the light weight of the air-frame. I think plenty of power can be had but long gone would be the 150 mph plus cruise and without an engine a KR would surely float any way, maybe even with one if you could "Ditch" one w/o tearing it apart>
