Need advice for a first float plane
Hello, I actually have a Hangar 9 Solo Sport trainer. For next year, I'd like to get an other plane but permanantly on float. So if I could find a plane that comes with no landing gear but float instead that will be great for me not having to pay for the landing gear because I will never use it. I will use that float plane at our chalet where there is a large river with easy access. So, that mean I will left the plane there which mean I could buy a larger plane than my actual 62" wingspan.
I want an ARF with a 0,40-0,46 size two stroke ( thinking of putting an OS 0,55 AX in it however ) and I use the Futaba 6 EX 2.4Ghz so I can't go over 6 channel. I want something that will be relaxing to pilot, that flies like a trainer but look much better. I am looking for something not much more than $200 fo the plane. So far, I can say I like the H9 J3 Cub and the Great Plane J3 Cub with fabric. I also like the look of a Cesna and the Beaver. I just don't know which one could better fit my needs. Could you give me some good quality/good flying float plane recommendation that would fit my needs ? I want to buy the plane in December because I will get free shipping so that's why I'm already starting to look.
Thanks a lot
