Default I want a float plane - suggestions?

If you want to go cheap. Buy an old trainer off someone in the club. There are always at least a couple in a club that somebody is willing to let go pretty cheap. Slap a set of floats on and your ready to go. I've done this twice and worked out very nicely.

What I usually do is add a piece of 1/4" ply big enough to mount aluminum gear to in front of the wing and one behind so I can mount the floats to without using solder and wire and all that stuff. And when I don't fly with floats I've got a new tail dragger to have fun with.

Cheap and easy.

De-fie convention!!!
