K thanks for the info!

as right now with the float mounted to far rearward the cg is dead on where it should be (on the wing)
the plane balances perfectly level with the floats as they are on now...

so when I move them forward they should automatically make the plane nose heavy..

As far as the bolts, thats what I was trying to prevent, this is only a "temp" float plane, didn't really want to put holes in this plane thats why I used the two factory landing gear bolts in the bottom...
I've got a pt40 that needs finishing and before its done were gonna put some ply along the bottom so I can use it as my float plane from now on!

After looking at the aircore floats more the incidence is pre set, the rear gear are slightly longer than the front automatically adding in positive incidence!
thanks guy! and wish me luck!
