Floats for a Nexstar?????
 

Anybody know where to get floats for a Nexstar????

And if anyone has done it could you share your experiences such as how it flys, lands, etc....

Any 411 would be great!!!!!

Happy Landings,

Any of the available ".40 size" floats would work just fine. Lots of companies make them. And there is a lot of info out there about how to mount them on a typical trike-geared plane. You shouldn't have any trouble.

(thinking about it, I haven't looked at the Nextstar's gear mounting. If I recall, it's a kind of break-away rig, right? I'd assume it would still be strong enough to handle floats, but I don't know for sure, so don't blame me if you have to swim for your airplane :)).

The underside of the fuse is not very strong, the landing gear on it locks to a plate within the fuse. You will want to brace it with some more wood.
