eventually want to put it on our floats.
> The mount is pretty straight forward for us since it is actually quite
similar to the Challenger and Titan mount. The only difficulty which has
not been addressed at this point is the nose gear. On most aircrafts we
replace the aircraft nose gear by ours or simply make an adaptor to fit,
but the Odyssey and Gull have an "odd" nose gear set up since
the shaft does not rotate on its center but rather on a pivot point
behind the assembly (see attached picture). Since our nose gear attaches
to the front float spreader bar the pivot point must be central. There
is some work involved there to find a solution and since there is no
demand we are not looking into it at this point. Best regards
