Quick update. Was looking at this plane the other day and noticed that it is actually sitting on Aerocet 3500L floats and not the EDO 3430s. Is this the only Helio on Aerocets? I don't know of any others and I don't believe there is a formal STC for them.

Thanks for list Denis,
Its possible the Aerocet floats had a field approval
while looking through the file to see if there was anything on Aerocet floats
found a couple 337s someone might find of interest
1
st
was installation of larger 5:00x5 tail wheel.
2
nd
installation of the retractable step.
