I agree with Jim Casey. The best float plane is your favorite on floats. Every airplane I build I make sure I provision it to accomodate floats. The Kadet Senior makes a great float plane and its easy to add lights for those night flights. So far my overall favorite float plane is a Kadet Senorita that has been modified with the addition of flaps. I power it with an OS .32. With the flaps down the aircraft will loop so I had to mix in some down elevator to keep it level. With half flaps landings are almost perfect every time. However, the Senorita is very light and almost any breeze will flip it over. The Kadet LT is the same size but heavier so this may work a little better.
