Default Pop out floats on a 206BIII

We operate floats on all our Jetrangers and our 407. For a 206BIII, I think
the weight difference compared to high skids is about 75lbs. As for an
effect on airspeed I'm not so sure because I'm on the maintenance side of
the company. Yet I figure 5-10 knots. If you want some precise numbers I can
check for you on Tuesday.

Anybody know how much airspeed is really affected by popout floats on a
Jet Ranger, and what the weight of them is?

Thanks in advance,

Bart
