Pianoman, there really isnt anywhere to base a straight float and the trouble is as you know when you put an amphib kit on a cessna they can then lift sweet FA. Ive put together my budget and we can make money with four on ay planned flight. To remain competitive we wont have any kind of shop, instead booking will be made via our website or phone.
Its really one of those things, demographics will only get you so far so there comes a point where you have to suck it and see. I have receiveda lot of po sitive feedback from the publi, local business and 3 local MPs.
Would love to have ZDA butI doubt very much you would part with it!
