Default RE: Which Plane to convert to a seaplane?

Thanks Jim,

....for the Chuck Cunningham suggestion, and BTW: It was your post about this time 5 years ago where I found it, and I must add, “you are the man” when it comes to seaplanes, as far as I’m concerned.

Anyway, I copied the articles to word, and they supplied so much information, interesting, but only details about side views, end view design information was not there. I will continue my search later and wish RCU had a search engine that would just search a specific forum. It seems right now it goes out to all forums....that is unless I didn't find it...yet?????
Tried to find Plane Fun Floats...must be on a page I didn't get to yet.

Question on this: Should I build my own floats out of foam, experimenting and testing as I go? If I do, I need the end view designs, 36” floats are big, or, just buy a set of commercial 36” floats that come with the mounting hardware, etc., all in a kit?

I have no problems with building them myself, always enjoyed that stuff, and arf and rtf is not my "cup of tea", I guess I like to get glue, wood dust, etc. on me, and I do have the shop and equipment for that.

So...back to checking my plane, against all that info, later Jim....bud
