Not to hijack this thread, but I'm looking to put my Alpha 40 trainer on floats this winter. One thing I'm confused about is it looks like the existing landing gear block is not in a good location. By that I mean that the main gear, while conventionally located for a trainer, appears to be not in a good location for float installment. It's not far enough forward nor is it far enough aft. It looks like I need would need to actually install 2 plywood plywood blocks, one further forward and one further aft if I want to put floats on.

I'm getting all of this from the pictures I've seen. Do I actually need to install two landing blocks, or is there anyway to the existing one in conjunction with a new one?

Thanks.
