This is the float set kit for the 20cc DHC-2 Beaver kit. Drawn from DeHavilland Canada blueprints, they feature a near-scale outline that looks the part.
These floats are all-wood and in kit form, consisting mostly of laser-cut balsa and balsa plywood. Fittings such as float strut mounts and water rudders are included, as are spacing struts, diagonal braces, clevises, and all screws, nuts, and washers for assembly. Construction is not difficult, with strategic tab-and-slot design to aid assembly while maintaining as much water integrity as possible. They are intended to be finished with fiberglass cloth and paint for the best durability and water resistance. We suggest using your favorite 3/4 oz cloth overall with an extra layer of 2 oz cloth on the bottom, forward of the step, for added durability.
Dual water rudders are included for the best scale appearance, although only one is likely required for control. Two mini servos are required to drive the water rudders, along with two 18"-24" servo extensions and a Y-harness.
