Float set up question
I'm new to float flying, and I'm about to set up my first set of floats. Now after doing some research through these forums, I've noticed that most people seem to have similar theories on how to set them up. The common theories are that the floats should be about 75-80% of the fuse length, the step should be set on the CG of the plane or are a little aft, the floats should extend about 10-15% forward of the prop, and the incidence of the floats should be set to the same incidence of the wing (or a slight positive incidence of the wing in relation to the float)
This is all great, although the one factor I can't seen to find any info on, is how far apart should the floats be set up?? Is there a rule to this??
