measuring how the pontoon need sit, and placement of rear linkages + retract who will actuate the lowering/raising off it.
A bit just, shorter forward than original, but will here fit the CG point nicely in combination with the pontoon hull step, and right stance off the fuselage, who is what get a good take off/landing on a seaplane.

Broke the lift system for the fuselage pontoon in test, so need make another way of doing it. The servoless retract did its work, but system wasnt aligned correct enough... well, welding up new system.
