Homemade Floats

by ITCyoy543 | January 25, 2013 | (0) Posted in Projects

Hey guys! I made some floats for my HZ Mini Super Cub recently so i thought i should tell you guys how i made them. I can just tell you how to make the float itself because all planes are different so mounting them the way i did may not work on other planes. But anyways here how i made them.

What I used to build them.

1/4 inch Foam house insulator

Tacky Glue

Knife

Yep thats it.

 

How i built them.

I first just got a flat piece of foam then cut it to the shape i needed.

I then fine tuned it by smoothing out all of the edges.

Then i made a smaller triangle and i glued it in the middle of the float.

I also glued on 2 foam struts to hold the 2 floats together.

 

Thats really about it. Sorry but i have to let you guys figure out to mount them yourself. i would tell you how but as i said all planes are different.

There is a picture below of what the floats look like
