This is how it is at the moment .

Just the floats and attachments to do, to finish the airframe.

That s looking pretty good..........your floats might need to come forwards a bit hard to tell.. should look great when its all finished satisfyingly different.

Float position should be ok .

The front of the floats are 3" in front of the prop and the step is 1/2" behind the C of G.

Just hard to see from this angle , but thanks for the comment.

This pic may show the position better . :)

I had not yet installed the "N" struts in the other pic so the position may not have been exactly right . :rolleyes:

I have left extra material on the float attachments , in case I have to adjust the position , fore and aft , or incidence . Once I am sure of the placement I will trim off the extra material.
