Float rigging
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 4:47 pm
I'm returning FOKM to the floats and currently attempting to rig the
x-bracing wires correctly. In doing so I find there are quite a few
choices around what one could shoot for as criteria - level wings, equal
weights on nose wheels, equal diagonals, etc. The main support elements
are known correct because they were used previously and the plane flew
fine. The only issue is what the design says you should shoot for in
adjusting the x-braces. What is the recommended procedure? I do not have
a floats manual so I cannot look it up.
