In Manitoba where zebra mussels are prevalent floats have to be painted with a health Canada approved antifouling paint if you want to leave your plane in the water for more than 12 hours. I've used an International aluminum primer (Primocon) over the previously painted floats and Trilux II antifoul...

My accountant says i can only deduct the cost of dual instruction time and nothing for my airplane. If i was renting through a sc...
