"I've always used built up balsa floats, I ordered a set of your 34" Flat Bottom floats. They work great! Lighter, Can't leak, easy to finish, I will be ordering more." Joe R.

"Outstanding product.. Well engineered.. Best float cores I've ever worked with.." Bob B.

"Let me congratulate you for the workmanship of the floats, I will finish those asap and plan to order a 1/4 scale set." Thanks again, Alexis

"Hi Mark, just picked up my floats from the post office. I gotta say I am very impressed by the quality of the foam cutting - they really look great!" Dave M.

E-flite Super Cub 25e "Thanks for a great product, I purchased the 32" flat bottom floats. Your tutorial on the fiberglass finish was a great step by step guide, switching from the E-flite floats shaved about a pound off my AUW. Please keep making them, thanks!" Raed E.

CHARLEY'S E-TAYLORCRAFT ON 24" FLOATS

(CLICK THE PIC TO GO TO THE RCU FORUM)

* We recommend the 26" floats for the Taylorcraft - SeaPlaneSupply

"I finally decided to use light weight fiberglass on the bottoms, full length, and Nelson Hobby water based poly paint, with light weight spackle to help prep the foam. One float weighs 94.9 grams and the other is 97.4 grams. The Tcraft handles it just fine, and think the 28" length is well proportioned for the model. Thanks for offering a great product!!" ......Randy M.

Great Pains Bricks

  • SPECS: Float Length: 38.5" (978mm)
  • Model Weight Class: 5.0-9.5lbs (2270-4310g)
  • Model Size Class: .40-.60
  • Approximate Weight of Assembled Floats: 3.14lbs (1424g)

My 38" Foam Floats will never crack & leak weigh only 1lb 4oz covered in fiberglass and epoxy! Less if you use covering. Most 40 size planes only need 34" floats, do you just cut off what you don't need? What plane fly's better with an extra 3.14lbs?. (My 40 size GeeBee only weighs 3.8lbs with floats RTF)

Think about it! Spend a couple of hours finishing some floats yourself and have hours of fun flying a plane that handles better on the water and in the air or just spend more money and live with a over weight float plane! Save even more weight Just Paint & fly-em! I have 34" floats on my Something Extra painted with 2 thinned coats of poly, The Pair of Floats weigh just 6oz.

This is Charlie's Second set of Great Planes floats on his Cub, it's always nice when your plane starts sinking at the float fly! He has had enough and is now using a set of my floats.

To add insult to injury you must add nose weight, increasing the weight even more! Holy Cow!
