RE: A question on choosing float size...
Do what Ed says. He is smarter than the next three people you know, combined.
Also possible sources for floats: Sea Commander and Slocan Floats. DO NOT use built up plywood floats as they are much too large and much too heavy.
You will find that a Kadet Senior is a fantabulous floatplane. I have seen them fly with a .45 2C thru a .90 4C. My son flies one with a .70 4C Magnum and it is about as ideal as it gets.
PlaneFun Floats offers "narrow" floats to address the light weight of the Ksr. I am sure that Seaplane Supplyhas an appropriate option.
