am flying avistar with great plains 40 size floats using the os.46fx engine. even though the finished weight is 7 lb. 4 oz. there is plenty of power from snow. Am anxious to go off water this summer. I tried this last summer with os.40la engine and could not get up without a stiff breeze and a few waves to bounce off of. good plane for the cost. covering was very poor though.
I don't know about floats
Crashing is one thing but having to drag for your plane ?????
Maybe i'll stick with picking up fuse and wing parts
