Default 3D-Plane on floats

Hi there everybody!
I've got a wilga 2000 foamie witch I really enjoy flying because of no need for a runway (it is also vastly overpowered, so I can take off like a heli if I want to, but for the landings I need a puddle).
I've also got a Electrified Seagull Harrier 3D 46-size witch I don't get to use too often since I neet a fairly ok runway with this one.
My question is how this type of plane will perform with floats. It will most likely suffer in 3D-events, but I'm using it more as a sports trainer than a 3D-plane. I'm thinking that with those great control surfaces almost everythin can be trimmed out, but I would really like som comments on this before I start buying stuff.

It will be a good float flyer, you'll find it more 3D on floats than on wheels...

So there is no known issues with converting a 3D-plane into a seaplane?
And what do you mean by "more 3D"?

You'll find the plane more unstable and does better 3D.
