With summer coming up, I have beocme interested in rigging my plane with pontoons. I have a Hobbico Superstar with a .46 FX which I'm assuming should be enough power to handle the extra drag of the floats.

I don't plan to do this for another month or so but figured I should start findingh out now what I could expect, what I need to learn from the guys at the field before doing it, and if this is a good idea for a fairly new pilot. I've got my basic manuvers down and am going to be graduating from my trainer soon, but I'm not sure exactly how "qualified" you need to be at landing before making one on water. For all I know it could very well be easier. Information will be greatly appreciated.
