I disagree VERY strongly about not using GeeBee floats and have used them since 1976 on various airplanes. The larger ones are a bit flimsey but the smaller ones are excellent, very tough and my pic for snow flying and funning areound on sand and rocks. You will not find a better float for toughness.

A good easy to fly and assemble aerobattic plane is the great planes Dazzler. One of my favorites used to be the original Midwest Hots on the GeeBee floats, the GP Dazzler is similar and now it's an ARF so it's that much easier...
