Euan,
I am presently building one of those and intend to fit floats later in the year. Mine has a 52 FS.
Where did you get the floats and mountings? Are they ARC?
By the way, where do you fly? Been to Colwick Park, Nottingham?

Alastair,
I have sent you a pm ,hope you get it,I am quite lucky i have a small pond whithin a quarter mile of my home in Co Durham,i have also flown up at Kielder and last week had the chance to fly off the Med on the French Spanish border something i,ve wanted to do for ages,electric seaplanes are far more likely to go unnoticed than there glow counterparts,
cheers Euan.
