MarkH Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Fun to watch, but the odds are against you if you're routinely pulling those kind of landings. Number 3 was lucky it stayed in one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangar200 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 A cool video and one of the most challenging aspects f bush flying. I saw something like this on Air Alaska (Discovery Channel show - the "air" version of Ice Road Truckers) - the idea is to skim the water just enough in order to slow down enough to stop on the short beach or "sand bar" (more like rock bar) - too shallow-your are too fast/too long; too deep - you plant the nose in the drink. Been trying to figure out if there is a way to do this in FSX. I got the Piper Pacer with bush wheels and want to try it out. I don't have the ORBX Alaska scenery but I do have PNW blue which has some possibilities as well as NZ SI which has a lot of sandbars/rivers from the various glaciers - problem if you hit the water with wheels you'll get a "Splash" - Maybe there's a way to edit the aircraft.cfg file so that the wheels are both floats and wheels? Thoughts? R/ Hangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? R/ Hangar The A2A Piper Cub with Accu-Sim can do this, and I'd highly recommend the aircraft. BTW, incredible video! Thanks for sharing.

AirborneSTIG Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The Flight Replicas Super Cub models a tire skimming effect too. That is some high skill flying. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbxtreme Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 It takes a lot of experience to do that kind of near crash landings with a tail wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
