I am building a second Sig SE. I want to put floats on my first one. DOes anyone have any recomendations of which floats would be good for it? Thanks.

I have this set up.
Great Planes, .40 size floats and .61 2stroke engine. I originally had a .46 but definitely didn't have enough power for these floats. It flies decent with this set up, but different then without floats. You will need positive incidence in the wing to the floats. If you don't, you will have a very fast boat that stays stuck to the water, until top speed is obtained, and full up elevator, then it goes vertical. But, once I got the wing to float incidence correct, it lifts off the water gradually, without full power, very nicely. Also, the step is behind the CG.

I like it because I really like the Sig SE. This is my third one.

The foam core floats from Niagara Custom Model Products come out very light and can't leak. They are under $30 plus shipping and this includes the sheeting and mounts.

Hi Ed - Glad to see you're on the job!! Just kidding! Floats weigh about 12oz. with spreaders. Using aluminum makes the mounting even lighter than using wire. I sometimes use wood for my mounting struts - maple preferably - and us wire as cross bracing with Dubro fittings. All is shown in the Photo Gallery. Cheers

WizRacer, I put a set of my foam core 20 size (27") floats on my SE and had a ball with it. The plane didn't even know it had floats on it! The only problem was the floatation was barely enough. I made a set a little larger, but haven't flown it yet. My 20 size floats sheeted with balsa and with the nylon mounting blocks weigh in at 4 oz. each. I think the 40 size (34") would be OK but a bit too large....Seaplane
