Rebel rear float attach point
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 2:45 pm
I found some discussion in the archives about moving the rear float fitting
forward to the rear door post bulkhead. Was that just for Montana floats
and/or Elites, or is this something I should consider for the Rebel? It
seems like it was all because the rear float spreader is too far aft and can
contact the water, so there have been mods done to Montana floats to move
the spreader and rear struts forward, necessitating the movement of the
attach point in the fuselage. I plan to use MAM 1800s, which also apparently
have the same tendency for the spreader to hit the water. Has anyone moved
the spreader on MAM floats, and is this something I should consider, or just
go with the stock float fitting/strut/spreader location.
Thanks
Jesse
