I am looking as saving your tip below for future use, but then I got to
wondering if there is a noticeable difference between an aircraft on floats,
and one on wheels. If an aircraft is to be used on wheels only, would you
still use the 0.7 or 0.8 setting?

Wheels or floats Tim.. it's the same deal. You are still flying the same C
of G range. Doesn't really seem to matter how I'm loaded.. wheels or
floats.. my elevator tip has always sat in that position in cruise. The ones
I've done at .7/.8 fly pretty much tip flush with stab and they have
similar.. if not more nose heavy... empty c of g's than mine.
