Hi Jim Casey,

No apologies necessary...................thanks for the help!

I have decided to go ahead and mount the 41.5" floats on the World Models Skyraider Mach I. The fuse length is 53" and the 41.5" floats fall in the that 80% range. However, I read some information the the fuse length is figured from the rudder hinge to the prop backing plate which is about 49" on this plane. Do you think these floats could work out? They might be a couple inches too long. Better than too short?? With the step at the CG the front of the floats extend past the prop about 3.5". The engine falls in the rec. size of .40-.46 a OS46AX. The strut gear width falls into 25% of the wing width. I installed ply reinforcement at both gear mounting sites.

But I wanted to run this by you first....................

Thanks,

Jim Clousing
