Well, I thought that a longer float would add extra stability, maybe some people are used to flying with a shorter float. I tried a set of Gee Bee milk carton floats and they weren't worth a tinkers damn. That was ten years ago and never tried it again. I'm not so sure about using the G.P. or Goldberg floats as they are hollow and not too crash resistant in case the plane runs into an obstruction in the water.
Sea Commander site is still up and running so they are still offering product but as nice as those floats are, they're a bit pricey for what I need.
Now I need to find an LT 40 kit somewhere, hopefully on RC Universe classified , or elsewhere.
What the heck....I need start another kit while I've got three or four yet waiting to be finished.
Situation normal.
