Default Need help choosing CORRECT float plane for me

Hey Guys

I got a hold of an apprentice 15e for a good price, and modified it and added floats. It works well, but the only problem is that it's a little big for the area I'm flying it in. About a 3/4 acre pond, with trees close by. I am wondering if there is an ARF or a Plug and play (since I have a decent spektrum radio that came with the 15e) that would be a good size for this arena? A friend of mine has the tiger moth, but it seems a little lightweight for all but the lightest wind. But maybe that's what I'm going to be restriced to, with a plane that will stay within that small of an area easily?

I need enough power to get off the ground, OR, if there's an ARF that I can add my brushless motor/esc from the apprentice15e to then that may work well also.

thanks for any thoughts
Tim
