Thanks for your advice. The sig floats I have are somewhat different. They seem to be all fiber-glassed and they were a discounted price on sig's website because they found out the paint or sealer was not fuelproof. ( needs to be redone) They were discounted from about 100 to 50 for the pair. Specs: Sig's Smoothfloats(TM)
33.3 ounces per set
41 3/4 inches
for .40 sized planes weigh up to 10.5 #
I know the foam floats are lighter and better but I have these to use for now...........
I am also putting together a WM Skyraider Mach 1 trainer right now. Wanted to replace my first trainer as it crashed on a very windy day a year and a half ago. Fuse length 53" Wing span 66.5" Flying weight 5.5# .40 -.46 2 stroke recommended. Maybe this would be a better float plane for these floats. It has very little dihedral but I cannot remove now as the wing is epoxied together. Semi symmetrical wings. Planning on using a new TT pro .46 for power but do you think that would be enough for the extra float weight? I do have a new 0S 55 ax but wanted to use that for something else a little more power worthy. I was only planning on a new OS .61 fx for the Big Stik 60 float plane maybe not enough?

Thanks for you help,
