8/9/2023 0 Comments Edo floats maintenance manual![]() ![]() This aircraft spent equal time on land and water in an effort to be available for year round use. My frequent visits to the lake over the years often included checking on the 180 as it was parked at the airstrip or simply seeing it buoyed out front of the house on its familiar Edo floats. My Grandparents had carefully chosen their retirement home on a waterfront property with a gravel airstrip nearby with room for a hangar as well. My interest in always following my Grandpa around was a natural pathway for my interest in aviation at a young age. My first airplane ride was in that aircraft when I was two years old and I was asleep by the time we returned. My Grandpa had owned several types of small aircraft over the years including a PA22 Tri-Pacer, Stinson 108, Cessna 140 and Cessna 172 but his all-time favorite was the C180 Mike Delta Charlie (CF-MDC). One of my earliest experiences with small aircraft was with my Grandfather who was the proud owner of a certain Cessna 180 based out of Eagle Lake, Ontario.
