I have not flown my airplane yet with the floats, as I got distracted with other projects. However, the rough struts lengths I was using was 29" rear, 53" diagonal, and 34" forward. I would be interested to see how this compares with other numbers you have found.

Hi Charles,
I have not flown my airplane yet with the floats, as I got distracted with other projects. However, the rough struts lengths I was using was 29" rear, 53" diagonal, and 34" forward. I would be interested to see how this compares with other numbers you have found.

Hi Charles,
Are you finding the 80 hp to be

would want to go for the hundred hp.
Hi Charles,
