I reviewed this page the first time and your group had not been able to set up the page completely and it looks like that may be the same issue are having this time although I did notice you had added a few more sources to your page which I looked into. I think you have really good sources and good information that didn’t seem to be biased. I think once you review some of the sources and get the main points out your page will be good. Its tough to make a legitimate review of the age since you have had difficulty putting it up but with the outline that your group has set up along with a lot of effective sources I think it will come together. I think the most important thing you guys need to do is make a detailed summary because your sources are pretty broad and don’t seem to be focused on something very specific so that would be the first thing I would do. Then follow your outline and make it as detailed as possible with some pictures to illustrate your topic.

Overview

[edit]

Comp air have many jets such as comp air 4, comp air 6, comp air 7, comp 7SLX, comp air 8, comp air 8, comp air 8-SS52, comp air 9, comp air 10XL, comp air 11, comp air 12.


Super Floats

[edit]

Super floats utilize advanced composite materials with KEVLAR™ reinforcements. This results in extremely strong and durable, yet lightweight floats. This system works equally well in both calm or rough water, with observed take-off runs as little as 75 feet for some aircraft.Super floats are available in 16 sizes from 500 to 6000 lbs. gross weight, in either straight (no wheels) or amphibious configuration, with your choice of assembled or kit form.

  • COMP AIR 10 TURBINE............................$102,845
  • COMP AIR 8 TURBINE....................................$90,745
  • COMP AIR 7SLX (stretch) TURBINE...........$78,645
  • COMP AIR 7 TURBINE................................$66,545
  • COMP AIR 6...................................................$45,645
  • COMP AIR 4...................................................$36,295

The Kits

[edit]

The easy-to-assemble kit can be finished in as little as 20 man hours for the straight floats and 50 man hours for the amphibious model. Assembly requires no special tools or complicated jigs, in fact the only "jig" needed is a bench top.

Advantages of SUPER FLOATS The Kevlar™-reinforced composite construction of SUPER FLOATS provides pilots with some very unique advantages:

  • No leaking! With no rivets to loosen and leak, and a hull/deck seam that is above the water line, SUPER FLOATS don't require the frequent "pumping out" that is often associated with other floats.
  • SUPER FLOATS are stronger, and more damage-resistant than many other floats. In the rare event that damage is encountered (i.e. beaching in waves on a rocky shore, or striking a solid object at high speed), repairs are simple and easy with commonly available materials.
  • Because SUPER FLOATS utilize modern construction methods and materials, they are both stronger and lighter than comparable floats made of aluminum. This allows pilots to get airborne in less distance (remember that small fishing lake?), and with less horsepower needed.
  • SAFETY -- in addition to the enhanced performance capabilities, strength and weight savings offered by SUPER FLOATS, pilot also enjoy the distinct advantages of a "conventional gear" configuration for the amphibious models. By opting to replace complex nosewheel systems with simpler, lighter, less complex tailwheels (fully steerable), the risk of nose-over in the event of an inadvertent "wheels-down" landing in water is SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. Test flight have been conducted successfully with several different Super Float-equipped airplanes that demonstrated it is possible (although ill-advised) to land in water with the wheels accidentally extended WITHOUT HARM!

Power plant Choices

[edit]
  1. Lycoming
    1. Lycoming constantly strives to satisfy an increasingly widening range of power requirements by providing factory-new, factory-backed OEM Experimental Engines sold exclusively through kit aircraft manufacturers.Your new kit aircraft should be 100% new -- including a tough new Lycoming engine with 100% of its TBO ahead of it and backed by a full factory warranty.Championships in aerobatics and checkered flags in air racing provide the proof. Count on Lycoming for reliable power and performance.
  2. Turbine
    1. Turbine engine reliability and performance is now available for pilots of private aircraft. Built in the Czech Republic, the Walter M601 powerplant has earned an enviable reputation for outstanding reliability and durability among Let 410 (19-seat commuter) operators in harsh Siberian, African, South American, and Eastern European regions. As the commercial operators upgrade to the newer Walter M601 E-11 series, their used M601D powerplants have recently become available for use in sport and recreational airplanes. Comp Air Inc., is pleased to be able to offer these powerplants to Comp Air builders looking for phenomenal performance and maximum utility, at prices that are competitive with high performance reciprocating engines.
