Multiplex Fun Cub......On Floats

[wecoyote]

Hey guys,

Need ideas. I put a float set on my fun cub and flew it off water for the first time today. The floats seem to have induced uplift in the nose as I am having to hold a bit of down elevator in flight.

I moved the battery all the way forward but still climbing. Should I put a shim under the rear of the wing to give a small amount of negative incidence with the floats and remove it when It's on wheels?

I wonder where that idea came from? I can't wait to get my new cub on floats and out there flying with ya.

This is at the park at Brenco where Tom and I both work.

My buddy loves his fun cubs. He is quite hard on them. I have flown them a bunch too. VERY fun on 4S.

That was GREAT! Multiplex should use this as a sales video.

Man you have beat the hell out of your cubs. They are fun planes to fly though.
