Free Preiti staff writer Egon Freeh who recently completed private Pilot s cows at the Winnipeg Fly ing club is now obtaining a Floar plan endorsement for his Phot s licence at St. Cload flying service. This is the first of a series of articles on his experiences on floats by Egon Frech this is going to be a Little different than what you re used said Eldon Watson instructor for St. Cloud flying service As he led the Way to the waiting aircraft. H was different All right. This aircraft had floats instead of wheels and in Stead of being parked on a Nice dry apron it was tied to a Dock on the Banks of the red River at River Crest a few Miles North of Winnipeg. I had flown Only a few hours after getting my Pilot s licence at the Winni Peg flying club and i was t too certain i could tackle this new Challenge just yet. But when Ken Morris owner of St. Cloud invited me Well who could resist a plane with floats different All right Eldon explained How to pump out ithe floats some of them leak slightly and Check the extra appendages like water rudders and their rigging As Well As the differences Between the four place Cessna 172 and the two seat Cessna 150 i d been flying up to now. Eldon United the ropes and we were off skimming across the water like a boat. Now the real differences started to show up. 1 experimented with the rudders pushing Forward on the lops of the pedals. No brakes. I also found that the Craft behaved very much like a boat following a course which was a composite of the plane s own Forward Speed the current and the wind. Eldon pulled up the water rudders and the aircraft turned like a weather cock into the wind another difference from a land based Craft. On the Fly we lowered the water rudders again and taxied Down the River. On the Way we did our pre Takeoff Check of the engine on the Fly since there were no brakes. Eldon turned into the wind opened the throttle pulled up. The water rudders and we were off. You have to get the floats up on the he shouted at me above the Roar of the engine. Pull the control column All the Back until the nose does t Rise any More then let it go Forward soon the Craft was skim Ming along the surface of the water like a planing speedboat. At about 40 Mph ii started to. Feel a Little Light then suddenly lifted Clear of the water. I was As reporter put it rather picturesquely on my. Way to getting my water the takeoffs were fairly simple i decided. Landing problem the landings however presented some problems. The first one with Eldon in control went smoothly enough. But when i tried it myself i found that the plane would touch the water then skip like a Pebble. That s the same thing As bouncing when you re on Eldon explained. R protested that i had never bounced that much on wheels but Eldon offered no further explanation. Later however i found out the floats Are mounted solidly by bracing and unlike on land planes there Are no Springs to absorb the Shock of slightly harsh Landing. The landings had to be much Batter if they were to be at All smooth. A Well that would come i decided. Meanwhile there were other problems like How to get the plane Back alongside the Dock without either brakes or a reverse gear to slow us Down.
