Before starting the installation of your floats, you will
need to assemble them according to the float manual.
Step 1
Locate the float mount adapter, four landing gear straps and
eight #4 x 1/2-inch sheet metal screws.
Step 2
Remove the landing gear from the fuselage. Use the
hardware from the landing gear to attach the float mount
adapter. Make sure to use threadlock on the screws to
prevent them from vibrating loose.
Step 3
Use a hobby knife with a #11 blade to remove the covering
on the bottom of the fuselage where the rear mount of
the float will fit. Holes have also been pre-drilled for the
mounting screws. Use Zap-A-Dap-A-Goo or thin CA to seal
the wood and protect it from water.
