Fitting the Floats
A question on fitting the floats for those of you who have done this.
There is a strap kit to hold the floats in their up position when the wheels are fitted for ground handling. Has anyone tried opening out the hole in the fuselage eyelet so that the pip-pin that locates the floats onto the skids will fit in the eyelet? It looks like about a mm will do, then you can support the floats on the pin when they are in the up position.
This should save the complication and cost of the strap kit.
Many thanks for any extra advice on the floats is also appreciated. (Apart from don't get in a situation where you have to use them...)
