PREPARE THE MODEL

1. Install a 5mm wheel collar and set screw on each of

the four ends of the float gear wires. The photo shows the

two right ends of the gear wires.

You must now determine how the floats will be mounted to

your model. In most cases, you will be able to use the

existing landing gear mounting block, already installed in

your model, for the front mount of the float wires. You will

probably need to install a rear mount, however.

If you are installing the floats on a recently produced Great

Planes J-3 ARF (fabric covered), the model may already

have the rear mount installed. Other models will require that

you install a rear mounting block.

2. Place the fuselage of your model on your work bench,

upside down. Place the float gear wires on the fuselage.

Determine if there is a rear mounting block in your model. If

there is, cut the covering from the groove in the block, then

proceed to "Install the Float Gear Wires" on page 11.

3. If there is no rear mounting block, you must install one.

Remove the landing gear from your model. Place the float gear

wires on the model and mark the location of the rear float wire.

Note that we have reinstalled as many of the screws, etc. as we

could, so as not to lose them and to seal the holes in the

bottom of the fuselage. In the steps that follow, we will show

how we installed the mounting block in the Great Planes J-3

ARF. Your model may require some changes.

4. Check for a former inside the fuselage in the location

you have marked. Use a pin to poke through the bottom of

the fuselage and locate the edge of the former. Notice in the

photo how the mounting block will fit against the former. Do

not be concerned if your model does not have a former that

is so conveniently located.

5. Mark the outline of the mounting block on the fuselage

bottom so that the groove in the mounting block will be

directly under the location of the wire already marked on the

fuselage. Cut the covering and balsa sheeting from the

fuselage at the marks. Save the covering.
