Here's a photo or two of my MM Cessna on 19" Floats from foamfloats.com . This is my first floatplane, and I am loving it. Just recently finished a GWS Beaver, and after a few trimming flights, I am ready to get another set of floats for that one!

Cessna's setup is a GWS IPS-A Drive, on 7x370 NiMH Batteries, two HS-55 servos. Finished wieght with floats and battery is 10.5 oz. Great flyer all around! :D

Rob, that "taxiing back" pic has been one of my all time favorite floaty pics. Thanks for posting :)
