Does any here on the forum have or have access to any float drawings or cad models? Zenair 2200 whipline 2100n something along those sizes. I am wanting to instal floats on my Breezy project and would like to get some installation data if I can. Also would like to hear from guys who have put floats on aircraft!!!


I was told as a rule of thumb that...

1. The aircraft CG should be 4-6 inches in front of the float "step".
2. The stance of the floats (distance between float center lines) should be approx. 1/3 of the wingspan.
3. Installation should be 3-4° float nose down relative to wing chord.

Any other tips and tricks would be very helpful!!!

Any help would be great!!!
