Hi,
Does anyone have a PCU governor on their Pponk or Northpoint engine?
Are you happy with it?
Does it really weigh less than a Woodward/McCauley?
Do you have the model number?
Thanks

Years ago we installed a Hartzell “Buccaneer” 8068 propeller on our Pponk powered 180. We were very happy with it on wheels, but when we put the floats on it had an unsolvable vibration.

Possibly moving from a 180 on straight floats to a 206 on amphibs
Wip 3450, Wip 3730, EDO 3500 are what I see mostly, in a 206 amphib search.
User reviews and comparisons requested.
Thanks!
Looking into 206’s.
It seems that the IO-550 is the best choice. However, most airplanes have the 520, IO or TSIO.

Anyone have experience with these?
Researching options; tried a search of this site with no results. I understand Seaplanes West is a good option, but they have vertical tubes which will require some...
No snow here, and the CAP 3000 thread got me thinking about floats. Lots of nice pictures here:
