Default F3A float plane?

Came across this on the sebart.it home page
It looks like floats on a 2m plane?

You're welcome! Check out this Youtube video. Not much flying, but pretty neat...

Hi,

It would be fun to try flying an F3A plane with floats.
In my country it is many lakes suitable for flying with floats.
Now the fall is here in my country soon and time for such things as build and prepare for next seasons flying.

Is it anyone of the F3A float flyers that sell suitable floats (ready, semi ready made or kit) for a 2M F3A plane?
I do not mind buying something that is tested and proven instead of building floats from scratch myself.

/Bo

Hi Bo,

PAF in Germany has different sized floats.

I think, "Schwimmer900" or "Schwimmer GfK 900" is o.k. for F3A.

If you are interested in details you could contact Michael Kroeger from FAG Kaltenkirchen, a well-known club in germanys F3A-circus. As far as i know Michael organized every year an F3A-W-Contest (W means water).

Picture 15/83 shows some F3A-Planes with floats from last contest.

Does each float require a T-Canalizer?
