Re: Floatplane engine falling off

G'day Mike .... The G rating refers to the main wings ability to withstand positive and negative loads ......... so your calculations of 1650 Lbs X various loads are not what at hand here re the engine breaking free ....... Once the plane "arrives" - the loads are on the floats and their support str...

Basically it is a very smooth engine but frequently when maneuvering I feel what is more shudder than vibration which comes and goes. Is this just a peculularity of this airframe or unusual?
