I have a set of sea commander 42 in floats that I got about 7 years ago $184 at that time still new in the box. Will any how they are real nice floats that should have a nice plane to go on, I only use gas engines, no ARF planes so I would like to hear what you think would be some good planes for these floats. Thanks

1/6th scale Beaver would work,,, http://www.scalercmodels.com/civilianaircraft.html#uv9

What sort of aircraft are you into? Are you wanting a Kit or Plans?

Something with aproximately a 56" long fuse is what you're looking for. Typically the float length is around 75% of Fusalage length

I build my own and kits. I am building a senior telemaster righ now that I made with twin rudders with the servos in the rudders. I have another telemaster coming maybe I can put the floats on it. I have a big pond behind the house I fly off. I have one float plane that I have been workng on were I put the floats on the wing tips.

A senior telemaster would be pusing the limits on those floats,, but would most likely work ok

Nice planes. The senior on floats looks like it flys great. What size engines did you use on your twin? Just looking at that lake it looks like it could be some good fishing.
