Default RE: Falcon Trading Co Floats

Well, I got the floats mounted and a buddy and I did a test float in his little pond. Floats level as far as we can see.

I haven't checked the CG, but it can't be too far off. The plane was OK with a TT .42GP, but really under powered (someone gave it to me). I have an old Tower .46 in the nose so it was going to be nose heavy. I hope the floats will move the CG to the rear.

We plan to test fly in the bayou from his back yard. It's fairly wide, but still, I hate to do acro in a populated area. And I would like to get some acro in, either there or at the float fly-in on the 15th so I can write about how adding floats affects aerobatics.
