Default RE: Where should the step be?

Theres a formula for figuring that out, but the easy answer is about a half inch behind the CG. Thats what I was told when I started. I have used 1/2" on all my float planes and it works good. Keep the CG the same as for wheels and if you have to add nose weight add it to the float tips.
