Bill, how did you attach your front float struts to the fuselage?� I have drawings from CAW showing basically a quarter-inch-thick tang sandwiched between the firewall and lower motor mount, sharing the motor mount bolt.� This tang is bent and bolted to the strut.� It seems "all wrong" to me--multiplying the shear stress on the motor mount bolt not to mention adding much to the tension stress.� If you did it that way, how's it working out?

I have 8.50x6 on the mains. �I looked into having an 8.50 nose fork bent but
it was a couple of grand more than I though I wanted to spend. �If you
really go into places that need that big of tires I suspect you will tear up
the plane.
This spring I was in and out of a 350' strip where the plane was sinking in
about 1". �I would not go in with two but with one it worked.
I too would like to see pics!
