To the seaplane gurus with lots of experience: Is there a general rule for establishing the wing incidence on setting up floats. I'm doing a KMP Beaver and with the hardware used that it already predrilled, the floats with the top of the float set at Zero gives the wing a 5 1/2 degree positive incidence. Reading some posts on this site says that that setting is too much positive and that the plane will have a tendency to take off prematurely before achieving proper ground speed. It was suggested that 2 to 3 degrees is the correct setting. I've seen other sites that talk of 7 degrees being correct.
Any thoughts and comments about this matter?
