auggie:

I used 1/8 lite ply for the base (where it bolts on) and 1/8 balsa for all the rest. Ordinary CA hinges for the rudder. Made the rudder just long enough so that about 1/2" or so is in the water at rest.

Here's a pic of the floats under construction. They are very simple, and the cost and weight is less than half that of the Eflite floats.
