Falcon or GP ARF floats?
Well, I've been away from it a while but I'm ready to try my hand at this floatplane game again. I have a Superstar trainer that I've started recovering and redoing the wing mount system with the idea of making it a full time float plane. The two float options I'm looking at are the Falcon plastic floats and the GP ARF fiberglass floats. It seems like the Fiberglass floats would be more durable but the specs show the weight of the assembled float package to be 3.35 lbs. On the other hand the Falcon floats are shown to be 11oz. each. No weight is given for the assembled floats with struts and all but I can't imagine it would bump them up as heavy as the GP assembly. Falcon looks the way to go from the weight standpoint. Can anyone give me a good reason why the GP floats might be a better choice? I'm thinking Falcon myself.
How about it guys?
