Easily retrofit floats to your FT and other planes. Examples are installed on FT floats for the Cub, Tutor, and Stick... You'll need (3) 15" pieces of 2.5mm wire, (16) wheel collars, and (4) screws. I used extra servo mounting screws. The parts have "mounting holes", probably not required but I again used servo screws and just glued them in. My thinking was to help resist the parts shearing off (overkill) I suppose just letting the hot melt glue oooze up in there would be good.
The first version (red) on the plane were printed with 60% infill. In 20-degree weather for a couple of hours, survived 3 landings, and a few touch-and-go's, but a couple of brackets on the floats failed on the "last" not-so-pretty landing.
In this version, I've added additional webbing to the float bracket (black ones) and printed them solid.
