Check out Falcon Trading (don't know address, do a search) they have a RTF float set made for trainers with tricycle landing gear. The installation could not be easier, will get you on the water fast.

Personally, I like a flying hull better than pontoons.

Click on the "Magazine" tab at the top of the page and read the Lanier Mariner Review.

I fly an Extra Easy with US Aircore floats on it. An MDS .40 engine flies it very nicely, and it takes off sooner from water, than from grass. It's a lot of fun!!!
