The water rudders are controlled by cables, there is a servo in each float. These floats come with the mounting brackets and will work with any giant airplane. They are $259.

The servos are all installed and seem good, will post pictures, but the motor I got from Hobby King is no good. Bad bearings and loose magnets. I will have to work it out with them. In the meanwhile, I ordered a different motor from a different vendor, waiting for it to arrive. Thanks for your patience.

Sorry, having a big problem with getting a refund on the motor I bought for this plane, it will work out, but may take time.

Yes it's www.applehobby.com
The site works pretty slow, we will have a new one up soon, but you can always email or PMus if you need a plane.

RE: Build Thread: Applehobby Ten Foot Dehavilland Beaver And Float Kit
Hello,
What are the specs for those floats (length, nose to step and the weight they were designed to hold)?
Also, what structure is just under the flat top of the floats? Are you free to put mounts along the length of the top of the floats or only where the mounts are on that beaver?
Thanks,

Watching and still waiting for the build part. Nice assembly of a nice ARF though.
