Hi all.. I am the new proud owner of N8526J. It was a delight dealing with John Tiner and I'm very happy with the airplane.
It will be used initially to train my college senior daughter... the I get to have fun with floats. Will probably do the 160 hp stc on the next overhaul on the o-320. Thinking also of the exhaust stc that boosts it another 20 so I've heard. Would sure appreciate any feedback re experience with either stc.

John,
I don't have much info on the engine mods but I am in the initial phase of a float STC for Kevlar amphibious floats. They weigh roughly the same as the EDO 1650's. I will update everyone on that progress as I go.
