Hi Amish. The center float retracts up and back, tucks in to become the bottom of the fuse. 2 retracts; fore and aft. The rear retract is steerable for the water rudder. I scanned 2 pics, but can't upload them due to whatever reason. Tried twice last nite, three times tonite and keep getting a stupid msg. about javascript. Email me, I'll send you the article. Since the mag is no longer published, I doubt theres any copyright infringement issues.
