11. Use two nylon washers, an M3 x 12 socket head cap
screw and M3 lock nut to attach the cross brace and
diagonal brace to the front mounting bracket. Tighten the
hardware using a 2.5mm hex wrench and 5.5mm nut
driver. Leave the screw slightly loose until the fl oats are
attached to the fuselage.
12. Use the diagram to position the nylon washers and the
front diagonal brace when installing the support braces to
the mounting brackets.
13. Use two nylon washers, an M3 x 12 socket head cap
screw and M3 lock nut to attach the cross brace and
diagonal brace to the front mounting bracket. Tighten the
hardware using a 2.5mm hex wrench and 5.5mm nut
driver. Leave the screw slightly loose until the fl oats are
attached to the fuselage.
14. Remove the lock nut from the side brace and thread the
nut against the brace. Slide the threaded portion through
the inner hole on the top of the front diagonal brace.
Thread the lock nut back on the threaded rod slightly to
prevent losing it during the build and to keep the brace in
position.
15. Attach the rear of the side brace to rear diagonal brace
using an M3 x 12 socket head cap screw, M3 washer and
M3 lock nut. Use a 2.5mm hex wrench and 5.5mm nut
driver to tighten the hardware.

FLOAT INSTALLATION
1. Attach the mounting bracket to the rear diagonal brace
using an M3 x 15 socket head cap screw, two nylon
washers and an M3 lock nut. Leave the hardware loose
until the fl oats are attached to the fuselage.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the front diagonal brace
using an M3 x 15 socket head cap screw, two nylon
washers and an M3 lock nut. Leave the hardware loose
until the fl oats are attached to the fuselage.
3. Attach the rear brackets to the fuselage using four M3 x
12 socket head cap screws and a 2.5mm hex wrench.
Make sure to check the threads in the blind nuts before
installing the brackets. Leave the screws loose until the
front brackets have been attached. The support braces
have been taped to the cross braces to keep them out of
the way while installing the brackets to the fuselage.
4. Attach the front brackets to the fuselage using four M3
x 12 socket head cap screws and a 2.5mm hex wrench.
Make sure to check the threads in the blind nuts before
installing the brackets. Fully tighten all the screws
securing the brackets using a 2.5mm hex wrench. Make
sure to use thread lock on all the screws attaching the
brackets to the fuselage.
5. Remove the nut from the diagonal brace at the bracket.
Slide the end of the cross brace over the screw, then
thread the nut back into position. Attach both of the rear
cross braces at this time.
