Love this plane on floats - I would like to do this as well - which floats did you use ?

Thanks for the reply! What diameter dowel did you use? Really flies beautifully in this video.

Very nice video and beautiful nature. I used to fly Mentor with floats as well but I don't have such a nice lake.
Though flying with floats is very interesting and nice, especially smooth landings like that one in the end of the video.

Did you reinforce the motor mount at all? If so do you have pictures?

if you are getting a bad vib...then you might have a bent motor shaft...or you might be swinging to big a prop...i tryed a 42 60 500 kv motor on 5s...with a 15 x 7 prop the foam could not handle it, to much tork...this plane flys best on 4s and a power 32 (770kv) with a 14x7 prop

I think I will get me one with floats, have water, but soon snow. Should work well on snow this winter.
