With temperatures reaching record-breaking high numbers this year, I decided to make every RC enthusiast's life easier and bring our wonderful hobby to the only plance one could survive this summer: lake shore.
I used my favourite trainer plane these days: FT Simple Storch (converted to depron) as a base; and added very simple floats made by some basic guidelines found on the internet. It took me a couple of days to complete this project; and even though the floats are very, very simple and "not made to the highest standards of craftsmanship" (to say the least), flying the plane off the water was relatively easy and definitely very fun. Not to mention the attention form all the people gathered over the lake...
The details of floats' design and build are explained in an article posted at flitetest.com web page:
