Rick,they are full lotus 1450 with amphib. Originally, they were on a s6. I spent the summer changing many components and adjusting the struts. As I was not comfortable that I had the proper balance by Sept, they came off, and I set into the task of fitting these retractable skis.
My full lotus are officially for sale.... But if not sold I will probably finish the fitting for my ch 750. They have been reported to be very good for similar planes over the past 20yrs and so should be equally good for a 750.
The amphib component can be removed in ~ 15 min so they may be best as straight floats with the advantage of being able to convert for returning to a land base.
They have been used successfully in the snow conditions.

Looks very nice. I see full lotus floats in one of your pictures - are you planning to install them on the 750?
