1.0 GENERAL
The model 3730/3900 seaplane or amphibious float is an all aluminum constructed float with watertight
compartments. The actual displacement in fresh water for each float is 3453 pounds 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 tires and the nose landing gear has a 3.50 x 10 4-ply tire. The gear
system is hydraulically actuated and driven by two hydraulic pumps. 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 and covers inside the wheel well.
When necessary, water inside the float hulls may be removed through pump out cups located on the outboard
edge of each float top skin.
