2. Use eight M2.5x8 screws to fasten the braces to the
fl oats, matching the labels printed or molded into the end
of each brace to each mount location on each fl oat.
❑
3. Fasten the fl oat braces to the fuselage with one
M3x16mm screw and two M2.5x8mm screws in each side
of the fuselage. No screw is installed in the third strut at
this time.
❑
4. Connect a small rubber band to the inside side of
each fl oat and water rudder as shown.
❑
5. Fasten the wire hooks on the end of each rudder
line to the connectors in the steering arm. As best as you
can, adjust the tension in the lines to center the water
rudders—the rudders don’t have to be
perfectly
centered,
because over time they may drift anyway, and the rudders
are forgiving and overall water handling is easy.
Mount the Horizontal
and Vertical Stabilizer
❑
1. Fasten the vertical stabilizers to each end of the
horizontal stabilizer (stab) with M2x6 screws.
