Default RE: Do I have a problem?

Thanks, I did post in kit building too and got a lot of advise. The left float was 1 5/8s inches behind the right, once I got that fixed the plane floated great but now I'm working on the incidence problem. I put the top of the floats at zero incidence and then measured the wing, it was at a minus 5 degrees and I have to raise the front of the plane 2 1/4 inches to get a plus 3 degrees incidence on the wing. At least it was floating level, that part I figured out pretty quickly.
First float plane and I need all the help I can get. I have flown it a lot to get it in good trim from land before I put it on the floats. It's a fun little plane with a lot of surprises in flight. Not a trainer in any way but it has a lot of the same features. It sure self rights itself when inverted and the controls are released and it's very easy to land.
Thanks again.
