Key FeaturesPre-built and sealed Z-Foam™ for remarkably easy installationPackaged with all mounting hardware, including pre-bent wire strutsCan be utilized with original Super Cub thanks to included rear float mountWeigh 5.5 ounces (150 grams)Includes a high-performance 10x8 propellerOverviewIf you have progressed past the teach-yourself-to-fly stage and are looking to add even more excitement to your RC flight experience, the Super Cub float set is the perfect option. This lightweight, Z-Foam™ float set includes a larger prop (10x8) to maximize the performance of the Cub on floats. These floats are a Zone 3 product, and are not recommended for beginners due to the difficulty of flying off of water. Review: Great set of floats! - These have been a blast since I mounted them. They snap in super easy and are well balanced in the water as well as in the air allowing for some fun scale flying and smooth water landings. I have modified them slightly by adding some rudders in the back because I did not like the Hobbyzone alternative and a rudder or rudders are essential if you want any kind of in water control. I do think I will later add a couple of chine like fins to the front and inner portion mid way to water line to prevent water spray from pushing up into the props plane of rotation. This has happened a couple of times and it puts a lot of water in places I don't really want it on the plane! I would use some tape on anything you don't want wet underneath your plane because these will splash quite a bit of water underneath. Other than that, these have added a great new flying element to my cub and I highly recommend them to anybody who has become proficient in dry land landings. Water landing are not that much different. Just keep your angle of attack shallow because they will become bouncy with a hard touch down. Oh, and if you get in a pinch you can land these on pretty much any surface. I have landed and taken off on grass (on purpose) and have skidded across a sidewalk and a gravel road (not so much on purpose) and didn't even nose the airplane over! They are very stable on land! There are a few tiny scratches on the plastic bottoms but to many laughing tears in my eyes to care! Get a set of these and go on an adventure! You wont be disappointed! Oh, I better add that I do have an aftermarket brushless motor and I use the 10x8 float prop so that carries these things quite well. I'm not sure how the stock brushed motor on the Super Cub will perform but I have heard it gets the job done. Hope this helps. Review: Floats add new dimension to the Super Cub. - The Super Cub is a great beginner plane, and its versatility adds to the ability to keep it interesting to fly after you pass the beginner stage. Putting ailerons on the plane is one possibility, but adding the floats and then taking off and landing on water is a whole new skill level. You have to be careful to keep an up-elevator during take-off and landing phases to prevent the possibility of the floats to submarine when the plane taxis or lands, which would result in getting the motor and electrical components wet and damaged. Once that skill is mastered, it really is a joy to fly this plane over the lake.
