I'm presently making 60 size balsa sheeted foam core floats and have recently created a web page. I haven't advertised much yet because I've just started trying to put together some kits for the do-it-yourselfers. http://www.geocities.com/planefunfloats/

My floats are the same size as Great Planes, but lighter and can't fill up with water.......Seaplane

Default Be careful

Great Planes floats are sized for their Cubs. The so called "60" size floats are designed to support a 90", 12 pound airplane. With floats, the 60 size cub weighs 15 to 16 pounds.

You want their "40" size floats for your Right Flyer 60. They are designed for airplanes up to 10 pounds.

I just got this kit. Haven't begun them yet, but all good quality stuff. Should be fun to build.
