You are so right. I wanted to get a Nextstar for my son (he ended up soloing at 10 years old and he is 12 now!) but I didn't want to buy the ready to fly version. So I got a good computer radio for him and a Thunder tiger pro 46 and the $100 arf for a lot cheaper than the ready to fly version and got a lot better quality stuff! I have put his nextstar on floats too and it flys great. I will have to do the flap thing like you did also when I fly off the water again though.
great flight!

Where did you get your floats and how did you install them

I purchased the floats from Art's Hobby in Skowhegan, Me. Art builds his own floats and many of our group use them. He also installed them for me.

Very true, crash...
You will still need two servos so you can set up the separate aileron servos and then the flaps and of course the floats. Since I had everything I needed except the ARF & floats, that was the best deal for me. And I sure don't need any radio that comes with it. And I specifically wanted four stroke. I notice the prices are up a bit but this makes a nice float plane with the mods I added - remove half of the dihedral and add a ventral fin.

how much do those planes cost? awesome video!

The plane costs $100 then you have to add the engine, electronics, and floats.
The floats I used were about $50, 5 servos @ $13.00, AR7000 receiver @ $80, battery at $24.
The engine I used was an OS 52 FS but it is no longer made but any good ball bearing 46 size two stroke would work for between $85 and $130.
