I have just installed the factory floats on my Falcon Ready. I've been flying the plane for a year now on wheels. I have a .72 Saito in it (I gas ported the piston for a bit extra power).
On land the plane and I are one
I'm interested in any advice on setup or flying on floats.
How critical is it to seal up the plane to prevent water inside the fuse? Do I need to put the receiver and battery in a balloon or baggy? You can't really waterproof the servos, right?........
My CG is right on and the plane looks really good in the pool.
I tried to taxi it around......not much room.
On land the plane will set still at idle. On the water, I can't get the idle low enough. Never been to a float fly (yet). I suppose
they all move once they're in the water and running, or should
it be able to idle stationary? Thanks Again
