Thank you Bob, much appreciated.
The more I discuss this topic with other pilots, I get the same comment about the Jabiru vs the Rotax especially on floats. Do you think the Rotax 914 would be a better choice for my 750 or the Rotax 912S sufficient?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the explanation on the extension. On another note, I'm building a 750 and looking at putting it on floats eventually and I was doing research on the subject.
Maybe you have an idea as to why some 701 owners are installing floats in many different angles and some pretty close to the fuselage. Is there a common practice in float installation? What angle is best and why would one install floatd so close to the base of the fuselage and others much higher. Is it because of the prop blade length or just a matter of pilot preference. Maybe having the fuselage almost sitting on the floats is easier to land as one might feel the water closer and more secure than being suspended higher up on top of the floats...
Can you tell... I know nothing about float flying?? -:)

Thanks Bob

Andre
