A lot of float makers say "for planes 8-11 pounds {this is a 35" float} whereas they should say "this is for a XX" long fuse".

My LT-40 ARF weighs less than eight pounds, but it needs at least a 40" long float.

Another point of possible confusion- the specs. published for a given plane may say " Length-56", but that is the TOTAL length [including the rudder]. You cannot base your float length on that figure.
