Thank you all for the great information. I am thinking that I may keep the trainer w/floats (it's already paid for). I have probably 20 flights on it from the water. The main problem that I have/had with the plane is the floats. They are the cheap plastic units that have a molding hole in the top of them. I have tried to seal the holes up but it still gets water in the floats. Even when the floats are dry I have the plane pull very hard ( I think to the left) when I go to full power. I do have a water rudder that is adjusted properly. It also does not flex under load (side to side). Sometimes this requires full rudder deflection and some aleron to keep the plane strait and level. As soon as the plane leaves the water you have to let off the rudder and aleron's and it flys fine. A little sluggish, a little slow, I can do loops but rolls take a lot of altitude (as expected). Landing is always beautiful. It has no tendancys to pull. It is just during full power on takeoff. If anything this has made me a better pilot. Take offs are always really scary.

Let me know if you have any ideas. I don't know if the torque from the motor is flexing the mounts. If you grab the floats from the bottom you can twist them a little bit. Also a recomendation on a light pair of floats that are sealed would be nice.

Thank you.
