Hi everyone,
I have a 3 channel Senioretta I have been thinking about converting to a float plane. I searched but couldn't much on it. I enjoy flying sport, electric, & fun flys as well as my good old Senioretta for relaxing flights. I built it as a stock 3 channel. Will a 3 channel float plane fly & handle well ? Thanks for any input.

We have a group of us that float fly, a good friend of mine has a radio queen with the biggest floats ever and he often flys it into the clouds and back again - I cant see any reason not to put it on floats . . .

The only trouble I've seen with the Seniorita on floats is they are so light that they are easily flipped over in either a cross wind or tail wind. Without ailerons, you can't keep the upwind wing down. Just be careful in these 2 situations or better yet, fly it in mild wind conditions and you'll have a ball. Any of the Kadet series are exceptional aircraft.

Sure it will , My first float plane was a Falcon 56 3 channel with a 23 st. in 69 i soloed it.
As stated above ya need to keep it into the wind or you'll get the tip in the water.
