Some basics: have the step behind the CG depending on total weight and size, balance the CG with floats installed at 25% of the cord for the maiden----you can move the weight around based on the performance, have a positive 1 1/2-3 degree of the incidence of the wing to the top of the float, make sure that the front of the float extends past the arc of the prop----depending on the size of the plane at least an inch or two, make sure that all areas of possible water exposure has been water proofed. Prop it for near max rpm on the water----this is a float plane that has a lot of drag----they are not speedsters. What size of plane and size of motor that you will be flying?

thats why i asked, its a 50 size stick, it has a old supre tiger 46.

Im gettin the itch to do a float plane. Iv wanted to try it out for a while now just havent really known anyone into it

i got one devan, we can take a weekend off at the feild and go on the boat or something.

Devan,

okay, see you there. thanks for the tips.

That L-4 is awesome!
Now Jackie Chan on the water? Oh my. I gotta get the floats back on my Sr Kadet and do a visit with the camera some weekend.......

Rob, did you get a pic of your 40%er under the 60%? That would've been a cool pic!

No-----my 40%er shook every time it looked at that monster L-4. It was afraid it was going to eaten up-----wouldn't go near it!!!!!!
