Great Planes Cub 40 size on Floats - Maiden

This video is part of a cool playlist, look to the right for a link. The first 2:22 is just taxiing around on the water... then a fish jumps... then you see the first take off and landing.
Skyshark 50 motor, XPS 4S 4000 lipo, can't remember what ESC I have in it. 17x8 prop. Deer Creek res in Utah.
It flies great, that's the great planes float kit off of Tower and it fit and worked perfect. I didn't even have to change my trim settings.

Big prop cause it's only 4S. I've thought of 5S but it flies great the way it is. Live in Heber. Love this plane though, it's fun.

So do you live in the heber or provo area? I have this exact plane running on 5s with a 13x6.5 prop with squishy 6" tundra tires, Floats are what i am wanting next. Looks like she flys good, why such a big prop though? This is the 81" Cub right? Great Flying man!

Just noticed your floats are not square. Measure the distance apart at the front and back, they should be the same, will improve water handling and takeoff/landing. :)

Hey. I'm starting my Great Planes Piper J-3 40 scale. It will be my first build. Can floats be retrofitted later on? Or would I need to decide now if I want floats or wheels?

[@jethro450]

pepelapiu2004 its an easy retrofit, don’t worry about it
