74.

Use landing gear straps to secure two pieces of wire

or carbon rod to the floats. Measuring from the

centerline of each float, the floats should be about 8-

3/4” apart.

Use landing gear straps to secure the landing gear

wire to the floats. Also secure the rear landing gear

wire to the floats and the bottom of the fuselage.
