Very few it any ARF or RTF come with floats but yes just about any airplane can be equiped with floats however it usually requires some skills from you setting up the struts. Floats work great if done right on snow or water however I would suggest you first learn to fly on wheels before going to floats. Also may I suggest you first decide if you want to go glow power or electric otherwise it will be difficult to answer your questions. Glow or Electric? That you will have to decide but my feeling is you really want to go glow so I would stick with that. Electric is not always all its made out to be, but one thing you can count on its always more expensive in the long haul. Yup thats my opinion.

Here is an example of arguably the very best glow trainer in the history RC that I set up on floats and recently tested for one of my ex students, its a superb flyer. If you choose to go electric hands down the best in my book (there goes that opinion thing agine) I highly recommend the Sensai form Great Planes at Tower hobbies even over the more expensive Apprentice form Horizon.
