Hi all,

I've been trying to find some scale float kits or plans, but other than the Balsa USA Edo's, I can't seem to find much. I'm looking for something in the .40 size range. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Josh

me too , hope someone answers

Possibly this will help, I haven't checked into the business, but recently found this link...........

Thanks, those look pretty good; you could probably pass those off for a Bauman or Wipline float, but I'd still like to see a kit or plans for an actual model of the real thing.

Thanks again,
Josh

Ok, I found some stuff. Check this one out: http://www.seacommander.com/index.asp VERY nice scale-looking floats! This is also a very helpful site:http://www.smilesandwags.com/Floats.html

Fred Reese designed and kitted a biplane called the "Golden Oldie". He published plans for the floats. I have flown this plane off water the past 10 summers. The floats work great. I believe they have 5 lite-ply bulkheads, a solid balsa tip and balsa sides, bottom and top. I have reduced and enlarged them to fit other airframes and they all have worked well. The original plans have worked for all my .40 sized planes. I will go up into the attic and dig out the source for the plans if you are interested.

Have you thought about looking and asking in waterplanes .....the stickys not bad either

I am interested in the plans if you are able to locate them , maybe you could post them and we could scale them up or down as needed
Thanks
Steve

Yes! I would love to see those plans; I've been looking for some plans for floats, but so far haven't found any for anything bigger than foamies.

Thanks,
