Default Source for "taildragger" floats?

Hey Guys,

A few months ago I ran across an R/C kit manufacturer's website and found several sizes of WWI "taildragger-style" float kits (similiar to the kit that Proctor produces for their large Antic.) Unfortunately, I failed to save the info. Does anyone know who produces this kind of float kit? (Other than Proctor, that is. I've already got one of their fine float kits.)

Many thanks,

Harvey

These people have what they call old timer floats which may be what you are looking for.

Jim,

After a couple of e-mails back and forth trying to determine what size of floats would be best for my 84" Quaker, I have ordered a set of 19-inchers. I have to say that the owner, Mark, of Seaplane Supply, was extremely helpful.

Anyway, thanks for your lead. You were most helpful too!

Harvey
