Default Rufe Float Conversion for 71" Wing Span Zero?

Does anyone know of any Rufe float kit for a Zero that's 71" wingspan size? If not, how about plan? I would really love to make my CMP 71" Zero a Rufe.

I have such a plan, it's for a A6M2 Model 11 & 21. It has a 78" span, but the plans could be made whatever size you want. The float plan is all on one sheet, shows all formers to carve a float out of foam. Shows fuselage mods and wingtip floats. I want to convert a Royal Zero using these plans so I am going to make a trip to the print shop anyway. I won't scale them to the size you want but I will make you a copy.

Seanychen: You can also obtain a set of plans for a A6m2-N from scalercmodel.com, for $35.00, or scale up a set of Guillow 1/32 scale A6m2-N plans to get your float scale and construction.

Hey Dion,

Thanks for your response. I am interested in your plan. I can scale it down. I guess 71"/78" = 91%. Please tell me how I can get a copy from you and how much $ you need for it. Thanks.

Did you ever get Rufe flying. I was thinking about the CMP Zero on floats too. Thanks Rich
