Thanks for the kind words guys, we appreciate it.

It was not too bad of a build but we tinkered with it probably 10 hours per week and sometimes more like 30 but it varried.

Stinson-The maker is Just aircraft and the model is Highlander http://www.cornellaeroworks.com/Airplanes.html

That is who we bought our kit from although you can get it direct from Just aircrafts website. We will certainly post pics of the first flight as well as the float conversion. On the cornell site there are a few on floats there you can see as well.

we are figuring on as fuel stands today 30 dollars per hour operating cost considering the annuals (we do them ourselves) and the insurance and misc cost.
