Floats for FT B-25

[Crstn_Jdi]

I know it's strange thing to ponder for a B-25(which I'm getting soon) with floats, but there's water spots all around where I live so I'm just curious if the floats to the FT piper cub would be suitable , or should I make some type of make shift design out of some empty water bottles or something of the like?

They would probably work 👍. Maybe just upscale a tad

Did they ever fit floats to a B 25? I dont think so.
You size floats by gross weight. The float must "float" more than its share of plane, so a float rated at 2 American pounds will support a plane just under 2 pounds, or use 2 floats rated at 1lb. There's a speed benefit, and some benefit using multiple floats, but that calculation is beyond my pay grade

I should also add I have a FrSky X7 Taranis Q TX w/ the newest update that gave it double the channels. Any suggestion what else I need to fly properly with the TX, or anything else I should get to use with the FT B-25? And since I will also taking off from water should I get the more powerful motors as well (B pack or C pack)? I forget how the ratings went.
