1.0 GENERAL
The model 2100/2350 seaplane or amphibious float is an all aluminum-constructed float with watertight
compartments. The actual displacement in fresh water for each float is 2323 pounds (model 2100) and 2570
pounds (model 2350) buoyancy for the seaplane and 2185 pounds (model 2100) and 2432 pounds (model
2350) buoyancy for the amphibian. The amphibian float is geometrically the same as the seaplane except for the
addition of landing gear and internal structure for the gear.
The water rudder system is cable operated with ball bearing pulleys. Water rudder cables tie into the existing
aircraft rudder system.
The main landing gear has a 5.00 x 5 6-ply tire and the nose landing gear has a 2.50 x 4 4-ply tire. The gear
system is hydraulically actuated and driven by one reversible electric pump. Brakes are hydraulic and have a
caliper on each main wheel.
Steering on land is accomplished by differential braking. The nose wheels are full castering.
Access to the float interior is accomplished by removing covers on the top deck, side skins and two covers inside
the wheel well. When necessary, water inside the float hulls may be removed through pumpout cups located on
the outboard edge of each float top skin.
