HotPete..........

Cherokee 140 on floats. Jesus!
Hmmmmmm. I seem to recall that JC was supposed to be able to walk on water, but I really do have some doubt about a Cherokee 140 doing the same.

The mind boggles at the power:weight figures to get the thing airborne for a start, let alone staying there and going anywhere.

Deno............seems to me like there'sa whole lot better and much more exciting 'projects' that you should be considering rather than the mundane old 'Cherokee-140-on floats' idea.

Did you ever consider a Leyland P76 with wings? Sounds like a LOT more fun! And I'll bet it will perform a whole lot better too!

Maybe also the PT6 conversion to a Gogomobile..........I believe they go like the proverbial 'sh1t off a shovel'. I understand that there's never been one that's yet got airborne Deno, but don't let practicality/reality get in the way of those 'wonderful' ideas of yours !
