well I've decided o do a seaplane. I was thinking of a cub .46 for my float plane. I have done a couple of electric float planes before with good success, but not glow. I have a plane in my hanger I've been toying with the idea of making a float plane out of it too , but do not know if it will work too good due to it being a sport plane. i'll post some pics do you guys think it can be done? plane weighs 5lbs and is powered by an enya .40. i don't even know what kit it is or brand just that she is a sweet flyer! oh yeah it a trike too.

No, they do not come with wires but you might try mounting them like the pics I am attaching. Go to Home Depot and buy 1/8 x 1 aluminum stock and bend your own.

They do come with the nylon mounting blocks and screws to attach to the floats. There are so many different planes that he can't possibly have on hand every set up.
