Default RE: Kadet Senior float conversion.

Seaplane
Thanks for the input. I think I have decided to go with 48 inch floats for my senior. my math was telling me that 46'' is 75% of the fuse length. Am i wrong to assume that longer floats would be a little more stable in the water? And is there any rules that pertain to the location of the floats? How far forward or back should they be? do i move them back and forth until the plane is balanced from it's usual CG? This is the first time i have ever considered flying on floats so i have done very little reading up on the matter.

Thanks
