Another SportCub on amphibs
There is another SportCub on Mead 1430 amphibs. This one is a stock SportCub without the XP engine mod but with the Sensenich prop with the 50" pitch key.
The airplane performed well and with the 50" pitch was off the water in approx 11.5 seconds. Cruising at 2400 rpm results in approx 98 mph indicated. Aircraft weight during the flight was 1380 lbs. You can see from the pictures that there was plenty of flotation available. The airplane and float system performed quite well.
