Default Top Flite Cessna

Hey
If anyone has pictures of the Top-Flite Cessna on floats I would love to see them. I might be getting one soon and I would love to see one on floats. Also, can floats be temporarilly mounted to the fuselage? If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks a lot.

That's my Great Planes 65" Cessna 182 ARF on removable floats.

Are those 44" Balsa USA floats on the Topflite? Do you have any contact with the owner to see how he attached them and how the plane performs? I like the looks of them better than Sea Commanders. It looks great in the water.

Hello, I'm originally from Dover-Foxcroft, myself. I believe the floats are the scale floats from Balsa USA. This style may be discontinued. The builder constructed two of these aircraft several years ago and sold this one to another member of our club.

It's hard to tell your planes from the full scale counterparts Wile E. Very nice!
