Use stiff spreader bar across floats where landing gear mounts to floats. 4. Use Dubro nylon gear blocks no. 156. on floats under 40 inches there is a 1/4 by 1/2 inch plywood plate imbedded in the float for this block . The 40 inch and larger have a 1/4 by 1 1/2 inch plywood mounting plate to accept the Goldberg nylon nosegear bearing no. 27. 5. Wing incidence should be 1 to 2 degrees positive to the top of the floats. 6. Space the floats approximately 25 % of the wingspan apart. 7. Use of at least one water rudder is recommended.
