2870s. The empty weight on wheels 1524lbs. CG 10.29

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.

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

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

Great performance on floats, wasn't expecting anything less.

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
