RE: sea plane
rthalls,
Here is a link to a web page which has a RCM/Chuck Cunningham article on floats...kind of Floats 101. If this does not answer all your questions simply ask.

I believe this article has a picture of a Lazy Ace (LA) on floats. The LA has so much lift...I have to believe the 120 will be fine. Chuck Cunningham....by the way...is the designer of the LA.
