Default RE: u-can-do on floats?

Gauchers,

I have flown my U-CAN-DO 60 on a set of Falcon Trading Co. floats. They are the correct displacement, but are on the short side given the legnth of the Fuse on this plane. It flys fine, but if you really want you can put the tail in the water with enough up elevator. To really match a set of floats to this plane would require building from scratch so you get floats long enough, but not with too much volume. To mount the floats I ordered a 2nd set of gear and reinforced the belly pan for the rear mount. I did this as I was building the plane. If your's is already built, you might be able to do something back at the wing hold down screws.

Good luck,
sbm
