Thanks for the reply and comments on my floats. To try and answer your questions I'll begin with wieght. The 4* 60 is an ARF kit that had a slight miss hap and was recovered with Sig Coverall and then painted. The forward silver half of fuse was painted with thinned epoxy, sanded, and then covered with Flite-metal aluminum. It Came out around 7 lbs. The floats are only about 3/4 lbs. So the all up weight is very light.

You can see from the closeup photos that mounting is very simple. Just make sure to use an extra screw on the King Post to keep it from rotating around the axle. The King Post being the bar sticking striaght up that the spring and lanyard are attached to.
The floats are 13" long and 4 1/2" wide. The step is 1/4" deep and located straight under the axle and back two thirds from the nose of the float. Floats are made from balsa and ply. Ply bulk heads, Keel, and float bottoms. Sides and tops are done with balsa. Then glassed with 1 oz. glass cloth. The rear float is very similar but reduced in size and has no step. Hope this helps.


These floats work great and tippy toe accross the water on touch and goes.
