Full lotus float questions

[little rocket 16]

Looking for some info on full lotus floats, I noticed 2 planes that I looked at that the tail end of the floats when sitting on the hanger floor SAG down to the point that you can see a  downward curve in the ridge pipes.

Is this normal?  I later watched one of these planes taking off on the water and it didn't seem like it could rotate on takeoff and appeared to have to kind of pop the plane off to get it to come out of the water,I wondered if this was due to the sagging off the floats at the back limiting rotation.It also had a porposing problem on takeoff.I have no experience with these floats and would appreciate any input.

THANKS

No, that does not sound normal. But knowing which model aircraft and FL floats wold be necessary to comment further. I replied to your PM but I'm sure Leni will chime in with his FL experiences. He has probably tried more FL models on more Avid and KF models than most... I think he has a bit of a 'love/hate' relationship with now.
