What plane for floats
I have a LT 40 with a Saito 56. I have flown it off floats for 4years. It is great for small lakes but my all time favoorite is a Goldberg Protoge with a Saito 91. It will do any thing you can think of on floats. Also have three cubs, one 84" Stinger, an Asto Hog, and an Antic Bipe all on floats.
Everything else takes a back seat to float flying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AnticBipe
The one I have was built by Lea Sheppard , from the Vancouver area. It has cream colored wings with rib stitching and a green srain on the fuse sides. He did a beautiful job and is building another now . Lea is a good friend.

Floats
My Stinger is an 84" with a G62 on C&H Igntioin. I use Sea Commander round top floats with scale hardware. The Stinger has such a large rudder I do not need water rudders, although I use them on everything else I own.
