My wife has been pushing for the quicksilver on floats for a while. We live on an airstrip that sticks out into a 40 mile long lake.

Possible good candidate....

I can send a word document about the Trail but do not see a way to attach it. Could be posted in the Experimenter.

Ron, don't bother with anything other than the single surface Sprint II. The double surface Quicksilvers are dogs on floats according to everyone who has had one I've known. Long take off runs and they won't lift much in the passenger seat.
Need the high lift airfoil of the single surface wing.
