Hello.
I am looking for a replacement set of float brackets for my Flyzone Dehaviland DHC-2 Beaver. I have the item number, which is FLZA6276. The original set of brackets consists of 10 pieces. All of the places that I have contacted do not carry this item anymore. I have my original float brackets with my original floats and an extra set of the Beaver floats. I am converting one set of the floats to wheels for ground operations. The other set of floats will remain as intended for water usage.
Once I obtain the new brackets, I will attach them to the other set of floats. This will then result in a rather simple "switch out of the floats" procedure for use on either land or water. I guess that if push does comes to shove, I will try to replicate the brackets out of K S aluminum streamline tubing, but getting the "exact" lengths and attachment point angles plus the proper screw hole locations will be quite a task indeed!
I had also attempted to modify the floats to make this float plane totally amphibious, but had obtained results that were less than, shall I say - successful, but it lead to some interesting experiences....., sort of.
Any and all help is appreciated with this "issue."
Thank you!
