Default Hostetler Cessna 150 (30%)

I am curently building a Cessna 150 ( Span: 120" Length: 86.7" Area: 2208 sq. in. Engine: 2.5-4 cu. in.) What size floats do you suggest I build? Are there any kits of floats this size available? I've never flew on floats before, nor have I ever built any or installed any on a plane, what do I need to know before venturing into this new side of the hobby?

Any help woulb be greatly apreciated.

Thank you.

If the Cessna is 30%, the Balsa USA 1/3 scale floats would probably work great.

Great plane. I inquired to Hostetler about the Cessna 172 with a 120" ws. They told me that their floats (60") I beleave would work fine. Look on the web site they have them attached to a big cub. If I ever get the time I'm going to start the Cessena 172 with wedell's 60" floats. Robt.
