RE: Floats on a trainer
That is the first bad thing I have EVER read about Falcon floats.
Given a choice between Falcon floats or Seaplane's RTC Foam Core floats, I would take Seaplane's. Ralph (seaplane) has done a great job in his production of some really efficient floats. BUT if I wanted to fly TOMORROW and had a chance to grab some Falcon floats there would be a whooshing sound and they would be gone.
If I wanted to fly tomorrow and all I could find was those awful gray blow-molded floats heretofore unmentioned in this thread, I would just find honeydo's to do around the house. I won a funfly once and first place was a pair of those awful gray floats. Second prize was 2 pairs.
