I am thinking about the new Sig Senorita ARF with 28" floats from http://www.classicaero.com/main.php These are really light and might look good covered in the same scheme as the Senorita ARF.

I'm reluctant to rain on anybody's parade, but I would not use floats with holes in them. I don't even like to use floats with internal cavities (hollow floats) but if you're just a split piece of monokote away from a sunken airplane: thanks but no, thanks.

These are nice, light, and can't leak: http://www.geocities.com/planefunfloats/

I think you are right there Jim. Fully sheeted and glassed is smarter.

Thanks, Yak
