    The logo is just black with open spaces for the word so whatever color shirt you choose is what will show through. I don't think it will work on a black shirt.  I have a PayPal account or I can take a check and wait for it to clear I need to see how many could go in a softsided mailer for $6.95 or whatever is most economical. After I figure that out and get a total. I will have people pm me to get my address or PayPal address
     
    thanks

     Sorry for the delay
    So I finally got the logos in at the shirt shop. 
    Need a list of who is still interested and what size and color shirt they want it on. It is a black label so keep that in mind when picking shirt color.

    Ouch 
     
    thats a rough day for sure. 
    A buddy just tipped his kitfox 7 over on floats and bent one float up and got it into the prop as well as bending a spar. 
    Live and learn I guess or some days we just live.

    Thanks Jack
    Very interesting info
     
    Maule does a similar thing on some models. 
    Wonder if that would apply only to water use or if that crosses over for land use on amphibs

    My plane is a C model heavy hauler that weighs 543 empty 1085 gross I weigh 185 
     
    Would like to be able to take my son who is 14 now and weighs 110 with me but I don't see that being feasible for very long if I used these as amphibs and not just regular floats   
    waiting to hear back from the guy on more accurate total weights
     
    thanks again

     He is saying 42 pounds each without the amphibious mechanism installed. 
     So I'm not sure what the amphibious mechanism Ways but my thought is it's going to make it way more then would be usable for anyone but a single pilot

    The guy told me the floats alone weigh 42 lbs not counting amphibious conversion. 
    does that seem normal?

    Still deliberating on these if they could be used as a float instead of an amphibian two people could still fly
     
    as an amphibian unless there was some sort of upgross option it would relegate my plane to pilot only
     
    my c model weighs 543 with a gross of 1085
     
    i would appreciate any more thoughts
     
    thanks

    Thanks guys really happy with it.  Not bad for something that costs one fifth or less than most Supercubs 
    Need to get a Better mount for my go pro but for iPhone pics not too bad the scenery is hard to do justice no matter what camera is used
