Floats for Seniorita
 
I have a set of lightweight fiberglass floats that I believe would work with my Seniorita: They are 32" long and 4 1/2" wide on the bottom. They are made by P&B Model of Czech Republic which I bought through H.L. Very light weight and although the normal length should be around 33.5", I don't see why they wouldn't work as Senioritas are light anyway.
Power is a Scorpion 3014-1080 on 3S pack...plenty of power so that shouldn't be an issue.

Sounds like they would work to me.

All the "rules" about float length are just guidelines.  Put the step of each float about 1/2" behind the balance point and (on a Kadet) make the bottom of the wing parallel to the flat top of the floats.  Having the nose of the float x distance in front of the propeller is beneficial if you're taxiing up to a dock, but not super critical for taxiing.  Hold full UP elevator when taxiing anyway.
