** We are temporarily offering float kits for ultralight aircraft for $1950. Pricing rises on May 16.**
Several weeks ago, I posted some limited information and pictures of our upcoming Belite amphibious floats, made from Aluminum.
I chose not to make this a product announcement at Sun N Fun. We just weren't ready, and we had lots of other juicy stuff: updates to our UltraCub, and lots of new instrument capabilities.
But I still thought it would be a wise idea to bring our float handiwork to Sun N Fun, put a price on them and see what happened.
Well, the first day of Sun N Fun is over, and we just officially sold our first float kit. Wow! A man walked up, indicated he'd been searching high and low for a great float option for his AirBike, and he found ours. He said it made the trip from California to Sun N Fun worth it. He left a deposit for the floats and is looking forward to the receipt of the float kit, which was promised for June.
In straight or amphibious configuration, the floats are rated for a gross aircraft weight of 620 pounds. As a result, they are ideal for ultralight aircraft (and fat ultralight aircraft, and light experimentals) of all kinds.
Until May 15, they may be ordered for $1950 for a set of 2 straight floats in kit form. Rivets and fittings and glue not included. The amphibious version is available for $2950. I will post some updated pictures of them tomorrow. On May 16, the price rises. How high? I haven't determined yet. We will formally announce this product at OshKosh, so this is our pre-intro sale.
You are required to provide a $500 or $750 deposit to reserve your float kit. All skins come predrilled.
Here's some pics:
