Aerocet receives 5850 STC |
|
Monday, 15 January 2007-We are pleased to introduce the newly certified Aerocet 5850 model floats. The industry has been asking for a float designed for the high gross DeHavilland Beaver, which not only performs well, but also is lighter in weight than the smaller displacement floats that have been the main stay for decades. Now they have it.
The many benefits of our all composite construction have been time tested by private and commercial operators and prove time and time again that we are not only here to stay, but we are the way of the future. Various features offered with the floats include four large locker bays, external load tie down points, and an abundance of 300 series stainless steel hardware. These floats are flat out ready to work and have the highest useful load of any float in class.Key Standard Features: * At "Up Gross", the most useful load in the industry-ask us to prove it!
* New infusion composite construction process allows these larger floats to weigh less than smaller floats that have less displacement
* Four large lockers – forward lockers good for CG control
* Higher strength attach fittings for “up gross” strength
* Extra floatation for safety
* Steering
• Simple external rigging
• All fittings swaged to fit
• Large stainless tiller posts
• Stainless turnbuckles
• Very positive steering – effective for rivers and wind
* Anticorrosive 300 series stainless used extensively
* Heavy duty replaceable keels. Wear strips added for extra protection
* Built in antiskid
* Best step layout for boarding and fueling – looks good, works good
* Clean floats and aerodynamic step struts give a 3-5 knot increase in speed over typical floats on the market
* Very stable – no ventral fin required
* A mechanics delight for installation – simple and complete kit. Original Release
