Jethro VH-JET Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Nice shot (BB), don't get it wet, you might wash the rest of the paint off. Glad your pilot is wearing his stack hat and floaties for these risky pond skipping manoeuvres . How does the bird dog handle the whip turn.

Hi I tried this once in a Cub, but I still had the crash detection on. Big No No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackburnBuccaneer Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Thanks for the replies guys! It is not too hard really - once you get down low, say about 20 feet just trim it out and ease it onto the water with the power - obviously a bit different in each aircraft but the key is to stay slow with some flap out, much more stable that way! I suspect it is a bit easier in real life because the Bush Wheels actually provide some flotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
