Default 3-D on floats?

Has anyone tried any of the 3-D planes (like a U-Can-Do, Pizazz, Kyosho Flip, etc.) on floats?

Not the models you mentioned, but my clubmate Jerry flies Morris Profile planes on floats, and I have a Morris "Jerry's Little Boy" on floats. Several threads have been in this forum about a Sig Somethin' Extra on floats.

The planes you mentioned will be fine on floats.

Thanks!...found the thread on the Morris. Reason for asking is that some of the 3D airframes, if envisioned with floats, look like a more modern version of the Ryan STA or the Supermarine Schneider Cup Racer (as in "pretty" float planes).

i ahve a tower hobbies extra special on floats, it does pretty good 3d and will get into some things that my old one w/o floats wouldn't do. the floats act like a pendulem (spelling?) and will so some crazy snaps and waterfalls and flatspins.
