We have completed the tooling on a 5850 float that will be perfect for the standard Beaver as well as those Beavers with increased gross weights associated with engine and wing conversions. This float is designed to perform like the very successful EDO 4930 yet provides the increase in displacement required for current and future modifications to this airframe. Our spreader bar and strut extrusions are in house and deck fittings are finished. The female molds for the floats are complete. We have tooled the access panel covers and bumper.

There are two large storage compartments on each float, one ahead of the front strut and one between the struts.

The float was revealed to the public at the May Alaska Trade Show. We received tremendous encouragement from the show for our efforts. Estimated availability and price are not yet known but our focus is on the 5850 since we have finished the 3400 amphibs.

For more information on the 5850 or any other Aerocet product, call 208-448-0400 and ask for sales.
