Hey again, I was wondering again, if it were possible to make floats for a VMAR Hotrod. Also would it work?? Do you guys [and girls] know anyone who has done this or a suggestion on how to do it properly???

C'mon any Ideas i really need to know!!!

What's a VMAR Hotrod?

Hey, a HotRod ought to be a blast with floats on it. Give it a try. I have two of them and think they are a blast to fly. One is a tail dragger with a .46dx on it and the other is stock with an Irvine .25 in it. Both are a blast. If I had any water around here I would try the float thing in a minuet.

Basic float selection requires the floats be about 75% the length of the fuselage. The step on the bottom of the float is in put at the CG of the plane or close to it. The floats are mounted 25-30% the width of the wing span. This is selection and mounting method is what I use on float planes, it works. Though I am sure someone can refine my method. Hopefully this is the info you were looking for.
Oh do not forget the water rudder. It will need to be hooked up to the control horn of the planes rudder via Golden Rod or flex cable. Try to get a water rudder that will kick up out of the watter as the speed builds up, a little goes a long way in the water.

I didn't know what a VMAR Hotrod was either, but I just searched out a picture. Looks like an interesting plane. I'm new with floats but I'm getting the feeling that just about anything can be a candidate for them (well, maybe not jets ).

I think Twostroker gave you some good advice. Looking at the airfoil on that plane tells me that you want to make sure you have a good positive incidence between that symmetrical chordline and the top of the floats. Maybe as much as 3 degrees.

Like I said, I'm new with floats. If you want to really attract the attention of the boys and girls in the know, I'd post this in the seaplane forum.
