Hey Alan T.

Thanks for the link to you links!

With all the time you must spend putting that list together, I don't see how you find time to fly.

Cheers!

One more link:
Probably the best single article about floats that has ever been written. By Chuck Cunningham in 1993, in RCM.
http://www.flyinglindy.homestead.com/skisandfloats.html

It'll show you how to make your own floats. You can get what you need at Home Depot for less than $10. I made a set for a trainer much like yours and they worked just fine.
