I am interested if anyone has the weight and balance info they have done re Front seat solo on floats(edo 1320). I am rather rusty on W&B stuff and have heard that its probably acceptable?, if calculated and falls within the range ( Type certificate 691). I also see that in one EAA feature article it shows a photo a J3's on Floats with the solo occupant in the front seat.

I also am aware dual ( like PA11 ) wing tanks and removing the nose tank changes this


I have various mods with STC's going in , most notably a 12 (11.5) gal wing tank, fishing tube and an enlarged super cub baggage compartment and super cub seats with atlee dodge fold down etc. It bastardizes the "Stock J3" but make it more functional for floats

I would find any calculations of similar setups helpful as I have to date, researched conflicting reports and data. suggestions and all views welcome.
