That is just beautiful. How long has Rob been flying his Bearhawk? Do you know what his empty weight on floats is?

Here's the link to the video. I apologize for the poor quality, but it couldn't be helped. A lot going on in the boat! Also, it was June 2nd, not the 3rd like I said in the video. Big congrats to Rob on his success. Still some fussing to do, but not much. https://youtu.be/Y2SkHsQp-jM

Those are 2870s? What was your empty on wheels?... or exchange weight?

What angle of incidence did you go with, floats to datum?

 

[alaskabearhawk]

It ended up being 3 degrees. When Sta B-C is level, there is 2 degrees built into the airframe, i.e. 2 degrees incidence of wing chord to the centerline. The angle of the floats was a negative 1 degree, so it's 3 total.

He can keep the plane - I want the water!
