I'm building a Unionville 6' Beaver, and I got their float kit to use with it. I'll be setting it up for a "quick change" system to change between floats and wheels. Basically, the undercarriage for the floats will bolt to the landing gear mounts, and I'll install blind nuts in the fuse for the rear mounts.

I want to have water rudders, but I'm not sure of any easy way make a linkage for the water rudder that will look relatively scale, yet also be easy to connect.

I was thinking, couldn't I put a servo right in the floats to control the water rudders? That way, I all I would have is a wire running along or in one of the undercarriage struts, and just plug it into a rudder Y in the fuse.

Anybody done this?
