floats
You can float just about any airplane, try to waterproof the radio gear as best as possible. Most floats have a step around the mid section , it sould line up with the C.G. . make the mounting struts high enough to give prop clearance.

had floats on a sturdy birdy for a short time. plane flew ok with the os .35 for power. had a long take off run. you might want to go with a good bearing .40 or .46.
