FoamFloats.com submission for the Todds Models Gym-E
Submitted by: Benard Cawley
Specs:
Motor/Battery:??
AUW: ??
Floats: 17" (now 19")
Mounting:
The attach points for the Tiger Moth worked fine (main gear hardpoint
should be placed about 5 ½" from the float tip, and the rear hardpoint
should be placed at about 12 ½" from the float tip). The forward attach
is exactly as your instructions call for except that a longer spreader
(I used .080 carbon) is needed - 10 inches long. The aft mount is another
set of legs made from 1/16 wire, bent to go along the fuslage for about
1 3/4 inches, under it and back again, held on by some tape. They go
down about an inch forward of the aft wing mount and mate up just fine
with the aft attach point on the TM floats. Done this way the step
comes out about 3/8 aft of the CG and seems to work just fine.
