Seaplane Floats. Unofficial Unboxing.

...very cool

The seaplane floats finally arrived, packaged in a demure cardboard box. However lifting the lid revealed two beautifully moulded and carefully painted floats, crafted from thin fibreglass. Despite their impressive size they weigh only 150g each, although I am a little concerned at how the Trainstar will fly with this additional weight and drag.



The floats come with a pair of aluminium mounting struts and braces, as well as mounting hardware. There is also a nice rudder, although only for one side, and sleeved cables for actuation via the planes rudder control horn. There are also brackets provided for securing the cables on the float and to the plane.

A very nice set of floats which I look forward to assembling and installing to my Trainstar in the near future...
