Default RE: Kadet LT-40 Kit a good first float plane?

I agree with everyone- the LT 40 is a great first float plane. We're at 5300 ft. up here and we go with .55Ax's or .82 four strokes. The .70 four stoke should be ok near sea level. We have them with built up floats (the Great Planes are good) as well as some prefab fiberglas. Just follow the 75-80% rule of thumb.
