MATC, you mentioned that Mark can set you up with a (new?) tank? Can you put me in touch with Mark? Thnx.

spinner found. Thnx all.

Called GSC before sending them my blades & decided to re-install them from scratch. I had a tracking issue with one blade which I fixed by using shims inside the hub. Then I set the angle/pitch as accurately as I could (using a "level" app on my iPod) and the vibrations are all but gone. I was leaning on getting another Warp (same I had on my previous machine) but I'll hang onto the GSC for as long as I can. Only 300 hrs but built in '06 (9 yrs +). 3 blades.

thnx gents. Tracking is w/i a blade tip thickness. I will be shipping them to GSC for a balance check/fix. It only has 300 hrs.

What did u replace yours with HC?

has anyone ever had vibration issues w/ a GSC propellor? I had a Warp Drive on a 912UL & it ran smooth. Got this GSC w/ the KF I bought (on a 912ULS) & am getting vibrations at various power settings.

Carbs seem balanced, so I'm starting to suspect the prop. Am I off?

that boot from TH Marine was useless. It was too inflexible and nowhere near water proof. I stumbled across a master cylinder rubber gasket (Canadian Tire part # 242077 - sorry lads south of the border) which I think will be perfect. I cut out the large "doughnut", punched a hole thru (not cut, but punched) & slipped it on the lip on the back of the float & on the water rudder shaft. Noosed it w/ lock wire. Snug fit & supple.

thnx gents - TH marine has one that's promising. I should get it in a couple of weeks. Let u know how it turns out.

just wondering if anyone knows where to get a new rubber grommet/boot for the water rudder linkage at the back of the floats. Aerocet doesn't have these & Whipline's are too big (need 2" outside diameter, approx). Has anyone replaced theirs with something else because they couldn't find one? Thnx for any info - much appreciated.

Thnx LP, esp the T/O tips. I had heard that the 1450s were the way to go. The 1260s are "on loan" for a trial. They come with stiffener tubes but the rest of the hardware is up to me. One float is indeed warped when inflated so I'll have to see if I can straighten that out somehow. Much appreciated. CT.

thnx

Hi all;
I am in the process of gathering the hardware to put my KF Classic IV (w/ 912 ULS, GW 1232lbs) on FL 1260s (older generation floats). My only experience has been on Aerocet 1100 amphibs, which I liked but thought they were somewhat under-floated (1200lb KF).

Anyone out there have much time on FLs, especially recent ones (with the step stiffener plates & sacs)? Any preference on the 1220s, 1260s or the 1450s for my size of machine? Any recommendations, yays or nays?

I'd appreciate any feedback.

You've probably pawned these off by now, have you? If not, I'd be interested. Anyone else have a set of these for sale?

any rad that meets the specs would do. Thnx!
