Default Floatplane trainer

Then the FK it will be. I've gotten back into powered planes recently after a stint with r/c sailplanes and the 4*60 is my current plane getting back into power. The FK is "in the bones" and will be completed next month.

General info on setting up floats?:

On the FK, for example, the primary mount will be the taildragger gear mount, with a secondary mount (a 1/4" ply plate) to be installed at the rear of the lite-ply cabin. General guidelines for the float mounting points?

Where should the floats (or the step?) be placed relative to the CG?

I seem to recall a website that gave float setup guidelines at one time, but can't find it now.

Thanks...
