Anyone flown a beaver on 6470 floats? If so can you get back to me with how you liked or disliked them.
Thank you.

Nope, never flown one, but I had a look at one last year and those are big floats for a Beaver. It's second hand information, but I guess it's not a real good performer.... Once again, that's second hand, but I gotta tell ya, from looking at it, I beleive it.

Heavy, slow, and won't perform.. Way overfloated.. Whoever has them should get rid of them.. And then there's the gay fins that you have to have.. Yuck..

The Beaver is way overfloated on that size float. That's the same float found on the Do28 and some Mark 5 Norsemans, both of which are heavier airplanes.

4930's are the best straight float for a piston -2 I'd say...at least from my experience

Just curious what the standard floats are for the N6?

Watched the beaver across the way struggle occasionally on them.. We had the 4930's and they were great!

Flew a Beaver a couple of seasons ago with 5350,s worked great, excellant with a big load and rough water.

-FJOM with the AWT wing has a set of 4930s punched out 4 inches on each side to make them into essentially, Edo 6100s, although I think they are 6000s on paper. Ugly as sin, but a nice float... feel just like 4930's, only a bit slower in the air. Far as I know, it's the only set that were done. I haven't flown the Whipline 6000s, but from what I understand, the ugly Edo's are nicer on the water, but the Whips fly faster.

I have tried both the AWT beaver with these EDOs, and the 67-something floats on a straighT Beaver.

The floats on the AWT -2 were great (although that machine is awful) and the big floats were great for big waves, longer props without having to be that careful with the water splash; but the they really sucked for longitudinal stability (more surface forward of the C.ofG.) and steering on the water.

The job I had to do with it did not require exceptional maneuvrability, so I had fun on it.
