Sterling Tri-Pacer on floats?
Looking through my kit pile for a suitable small float plane for an .09 size model I found a Sterling Piper Tri-Pacer, Kit #FS37. This on e has a 44" span. The chord is about 7.5" so wing area should be about 320 sq. in.
I didn't recall ever seeing a Tri-pacer on floats so I did a search...sure 'nuff....they had them.

At one time I had a larger 58" version and it was very heavy. Has anyone built this smaller version, does it build light and how does it fly? What engine, radio....whatever.
Thanks
