Default Ready to give float flying a go soon!

I think I've seen that one on here before. Pretty cool, Jim.

A fellow club member, whose opinion I respect, said my float noses need to be made pointy, to reduce drag. I built these from a Niagara kit, and I thought I shaped the nose blocks how I was supposed to? Too late now. They are exactly the same as a picture on the Niagara web page. The example floats are on a Sig Fazer, and they are pictured in the water, so I reckon they work ok.

Any of you guys think my noses are too blocky? I just want to try float flying at least once, and I really don't want to rebuild these floats again. Or build any more of them, ever again :-)

Thanks.
