Default RE: E-Flite Taylorcraft 450 on Floats

Here is yet another Eflite T-craft 450 with floats. Thanks to Charley for blazing the trail and pointing us to www.seaplanesupply.com for the floats.

Eflite 480/1020kw motor. 10-7 prop
Eflite 40 amp Pro switch-mode bec controller
Thunder power 2200mah 25c 3 cell lipo
Spektrum rx and 4 7.5 gram Spektrum servos
Seaplane supply 28" flat bottom floats, style #2(I'd get syle #1 or #3 if I had it to do over again, just easier to mount), square step. Floats have light weight fiberglass on the bottoms, thinned light spackle skim coat, and Nelson Hobby water based polyu paint.

Flys great at our 2800 foot elevation. I think it flys better with the floats than with the wheels....

The ducks seemed to like it too!!
