LOOP News 1 FEB 07: FLOAT FIRST FOR 172A FLOAT-equipped Cessna 172 has been certified in Europe. It took more than two years to achieve the certification - believed to be the first of its kind. The aircraft is a 1968 French-built FR172F - known as the 'Reims Rocket' after the factory's location. It has been fitted with Wipline amphibious floats by ACS Engineering at Perth Airfield and registered as 'G-DRAM'. Power is a 210hp 6-cylinder Continental engine fitted with a McCauley constant speed prop. A maximum takeoff weight of 2550lb gives 690lb of useful load. Hamish Mitchell of scotlandonfloats.com told LOOP, "G-DRAM will initially be used to promote Scotland as the ideal alternative destination for floatplane and adventure flying. She will also be available as a Wipline float demonstrator and to provide amphibian training from Glasgow Flying Club at Glasgow International Airport."
