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.
TIP:
One of the wire hooks will need to be bent up some
to not interfere with the other hook.
