NEW FLOAT DESIGN FOR PROFILES

Hi Guys... I have developed a new float design for Profile Planes. It's a single center float with two sponson floats attached with 2 carbon fiber tubes. I mounted my Kangke Gee Bee 40 on a 34 " set, all up weight for the floats ready to bolt on is around 6oz! They are finished with light spackle and 1 coat of polyurethane paint. The video is the test flight which flew great but I needed more wing incidence, I had 1 degree which was not enough. You can see in the video it takes awhile to take off then it pops off the water. . I reworked it to 2 1/2 degrees and now it's perfect! The Gee Bee with a Norvel 40 can hover, knife edge, knife edge loop, invert flat spins all with floats on!
