Default float plane?

well since flying off water is...well...safer i plan to fly my cub off water but...

i have had trouble funding the store bought floats ($150+) and since reading that they arent all that expensive(or difficult) to build i think ill try to build my own
my cub is 1/4 scale and can weigh up to 20 lbs

my main concern is on the angles at the bottom i have basically all the ones i have looked at have a "V" shape on the bottom. even if you dont have the mathmatical equation for the correct angle maybe just mesuring the botton of the floats you own would be a step in the right direction

every thing else figured out except for the bottom and how to mount it to the cub ie landing gear attachment

i was thinking to keep the original ground gear and build in a removeable set fot the back

what ya think?
