      Hi Peter,
      
      Your rigging information was informative and your take off video impressive, but
      I was unable to locate your geometry page.  My Kitfox 5 has just completed FAA
      phase 1 on wheels and my used Aerocomp 1400 amphib floats have been repaired
      and cleaned up. Any assistance you can provide regarding geometry and rigging
      would be appreciated.
      
      Thanks!

      Joel I haven't finished the geometry write up but will soon.
      The main numbers that seem to work are fuselage datum or centerline 
      inclined aout 3 degrees to float and step at or a little aft of the most 
      rearward cg. There is a wide range of float stances and height above the 
      float. If you already have the spreader bars then you will probably go 
      with that. The Murphy rebel sits 31.5 above the float; one guy dropped 
      that to 29; mine are at 24; many other Rans at 20 and the first one I 
      had on Full Lotus was maybe16 or 18 (too squat looking. The dual water 
      rudders on these Murphys are the best, shortest diameter turning I've 
      ever had and so I would try to go with two rudders.
      Want some of my parts or strut material?
      Peter
