Wipline 700 Floats Get TSO For Quest Kodiak

Full STC Expected In Early 2010

Wipaire is making steady progress on certification of their Wipline model 7000 float, designed for the Quest Kodiak. The innovative float structure received FAA approval in early December via a Technical Standard Order authorization, or TSO.

With the FAA’s approval of the structure and design confirmed, Wipaire is turning their full attention to the remainder of flight testing, and expects full approval of the installation during the first quarter of 2010.  Wipair has aircraft are on the ramp awaiting the STC approval and installation of Wipline model 7000 floats.

The Quest Kodiak, designed to access short, unimproved back country strips, coupled with Wipaire’s new floats, will allow access to remote lakes and rivers. The hulls are modeled after the successful Wipline model 13000 floats which have improved rough water handling qualities and also include the traditional Wipline flat top deck for easy loading and safety. A completely redesigned main gear system keeps maintenance simple and reliability high.

For 50 years, Wipaire has developed a full line of aircraft floats for all sizes of aircraft from the Piper Cub to the de Havilland Twin Otter as well as over 100 STCs for a variety of useful aircraft modifications. In addition, Wipaire is a service leader in other areas, including aircraft maintenance, avionics installation and repair, custom interior design and installation, and exterior refinishing.
