RE: How difficult to fly off water?
OK, one of the guys gave me these floats.
I've removed the landing gear and have to figure the best position to mount the floats.
The Floats are about 5 times heavier than the landing gear.
One of the posted links says when the tops of the floats are level the wing incedence is 3 degrees...
should I adjust the mounting position (forward or backward) to get the proper wing incedence?
I also have to fabricate some sort of rudder on one float. Thinking of running a cable from the rudder servo to a home made rudder on the float.
How big should the rudder be..
I'm short on time as this oportunity just came up. A local town is having a celebration on Saturday and they asked us to fly off the town pond for entertainment.
I dont see myself flying off water much but have this chance and want to give it a try..
might use them in the snow though!
