I have a Pica Rapier e/w a Fox .50, 3.5 lbs, a tail dragger, no dihedral, ws=57.5”, bow to stern..hehe = 48”, 753 sqin. , chord 11”, and a……
Royal Air 40T e/w an OS .40FP,5lbs, trike gear, 1.6% dihedral, ws = 63.5”, bow to stern = 48.5”, 803 sqin., chord=11.5”

I guess, I need size of floats, waterproof all electronics, decide if I want rudders on both floats, (could utilize 40T nose gear control with same servo as rudder, that is the setup now) ???

I have a question on floats, could they be mounted under wings, instead of attached to bottom of fuselage?

Both planes of course, would weigh less with the gear removed, then added back with the floats. How much, I don’t know yet.

Anyway, appreciate anyone’s help making my choice, etc. Thank You in advance.
