If your planning using the 3 point mounting system you'll need this chart to get the dimensions need to cut the floats. This aligns the front carbon fiber spreader with the nose wheel hole on the engine mount. Great planes adjustable mount works great for this.

This is a 40 size Tower Hobbies "Uproar". These Floats were balsa sheeted w/ply mounting in center using water based contact and then 3 coats of polyurethane varnish. The carbon fiber spreaders work great! Notice the chamfer on the outboard side of the floats, this is to allow high speed turns, and a cool rooster tail!
The "Uproar" w/wheels came in at 77oz. and with the floats it only weighs 84oz. !! That's only 7oz. more!! If You want to use this 3 point mounting system let me know so I can cut the spreader holes in the right spot...
The front strut is 5/32" wire that goes thru the nose wheel hole in the Great Planes motor mount held in place by wheel collars making it adjustable up & down. The bottom is brass tubing soldered in a tee (add gussets) and slid over the carbon fiber tube. You can change back to wheels in 5 min. (OK Dave, 6 min.)
Mount Old Timers with the tips up 2-3 degrees. And if possible hang the tail float down an inch.
