TWIN OTTER 80E FLOAT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Required Tools:
Note: There are two lock collar sizes included with your float set. The two sizes are different inside diameters. The collars with the
larger inside diameters (5mm) are used for the front and rear main struts (8), the collars with the smaller inside diameters (4mm) are
used for the spreader bars (8), all the collars used 1.5mm Allen Driver. Always secure set screws with blue thread lock when
assembling.
1. Secure the set screws to the flat spot closest to the
middle of all of the struts and spreaders. Pay special
attention to the size of the strut and inside diameter
of the wheel collars. Use blue thread lock to secure the
set screws in place.
3. Secure the set screws to the struts on the outside of
the plywood mounts. Pay special attention to the size
of the strut and inside diameter of the wheel collars.
Use blue thread lock to secure the set screws in place.
#1 Phillips Screwdriver

#2 Phillips Screwdriver

2. Slide the struts through the wood mounts in each of
the floats. Note that the 5mm diameter bent struts go
to the forward-most hole in the front of the float and
the rear-most hole in the rear of the float, and they
both angle towards the center (narrower gap) as they
near the fuselage. The 4mm straight spreaders should
go in the holes nearest the middle of the floats.
4. Glue the rear fairings onto the rear struts using 15
minute epoxy. Alternately you can leave these off for
now and glue them on after you have assembled the
floats to the fuselage.
