Subject: | floats on Firestar? |
I have a friend who just bought a set of used Full Lotus floats for his
FSII. He's still waiting for information from the manufacturer, but we'd
appreciate any information from anybody who has put floats on a FS.
The floats are to be mounted at a specified nose down angle relative to the
plane, but what datum on the plane do you use? The 9 angle on the bottom
of the wing used for the weight and balance? The horizon in level flight
cruise? Or something else? Full Lotus, naturally, won't have information
specific to the Kolb.
Any links to pictures of a float installation on a FSII would also be
great. His floats have the amphib gear (wheels swinging down outside the
float). The floats came off a tri-gear plane, but he plans on setting it
up as a taildragger with tailwheels on the water rudders.

I'd like to do the monofloat on my UltraStar, but my friend already has the
FL dual floats. For me, floats aren't going to happen, this year at least.
Were both of yours monofloat? At this point we're only looking for dual
float info.
At least when we go somewhere together with floats on his plane I won't
have to keep telling him to slow down!
