FLOAT RIGGING FOR TRADE

Post by frebrdhd »

Hi I found a set of 1320 floats for my 46 Chief but they have Champ rigging so I would like to trade someone for their Chief rigging. I also still need the rear fuselage fittings as well.
Could someone with 1320 floats on their Chief do me a big favor and measure their Struts from center of the ball to right where they bolt to the fuselage? If I have to modify the Champ rigging I'll have the measurements.

Thanks for the replies I've gotten - I'll get her floating yet!

Hi. Still do not understand how you are going to put 1320's on a chief. They are not allowed in the type certificate. plus with your 85 h.p. are you going to be a little underfloated? I know you want to get going but.... wait for 1400's unless you can legally install 1320's in canada.

There are a lot of Chief's on 1320's in Canada and the U.S. all OM or STC'd and legal.
