Default RE: Float setup??

Thanks for the input guys. I'm going to give the floats a little detail once everything is fitted properly. The spread on the floats is 20% of the wingspan and I do have a couple of inches from the prop arch to the top of the floats. These are $ea Commander$ wich are very nice floats. The strut system is nice but it takes a lot of time and patience to put them together. They are not exact scale and neither is the plane so it really doesn't matter. I still have a ways to go before the maiden flight. The only other concern I have is the weight of this setup, it seems heavy. This is the hanger 9 super cub which will be powered with a G-26. I'm hoping this will be enough power. Before the maiden flight I will purchase a video camera to catch any mishaps. As my wife put it "you need to video this, you may make the crash hall of fame". Well anyway thanks again to you all and I'll keep you posted as I progress.....Donnie
