I flew the Ready today on floats for the first time!!!!!!!!!
It flew excellent. Takeoff and landings were very easy. I think flying the plane on wheels for a year really helped.
I did all of the suggestions that were offered here and the inside
of the fuse was 100% dry. The silicone wing gasket is really important.
After the first couple of flights, I moved on to aileron rolls and loops...looks really good with floats. The plane gets off the water in about 15-20 feet. There is definitely power to spare.
Can't wait to go again.........

I flew at Lake Piru (see other thread) and Fish and Game came by to watch
