RE: So what do you think the problem is...
Thank Lamolliever, I think my issue is going to turn out to be tail heavy. Like I said in earlier posts, can't try a thing until weekend after next. Since these are GP FG floats, I know it is not an issue with rounded over step as mentioned. To me, it looks as if the step is about 3 inches back from leading edge, but the wing is at my lake house, so this is from looking at the wing saddle. As the plane sits without the wing, it sit on the aft of the floats, so unless I find that the wing moves this much, I am thinking I have a tail heavy situation. Easy enough to fix at least temporarialy with stick on weight. Will post result around the 29th or 30th. I appreciate the input and the knowledge of those that have "been there, done that".
