Default RE: First flight

I am not using geebee floats, I built them myself according to the article that is on the web from Cunningham on R/C. I do have some positive incidence built in in reference to the top of the floats, so I'll take that out and try again. If the water rudder won't help with this, then I won't add one, as the plane seemed to taxi fine without one. The nerves might have been from the squirelly first flight, but it was also my first flight in a long time, and I never got that good at flying, as I always got pulled away from the hobby when I got my wings. This time, however, my life isn't so caotic, out of college, not moving so much, so I should be able to stay with it. Anyway, I'll keep yall posted how the next flight goes after I remove the float incidence.
thanks for your help!
