.....minus the style Wink

A2As' Cub update allows for bouyancy of the tundra tires........ Shocked

This is my attempt at a "Tweto landing"
Practicing at skimming the water here......

Going for it.........started out pretty good.....

.......then drag got the best of me........

Throttle!!....full elevator up.....please don't stick your head in the sand like an ostrich....please.....

Wow....the prop must have been inches from the ground......Mr. Tweto makes it look tooooo easy

Way to go A2A, very well done. I always disliked the fact that landing gear caused no drag in the water Tongue

Thanks 4 looking

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Cool!

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

That's cool Chuck!

But also eerily timed..........saw this video just yesterday when a bud sent me a link to a bunch of silly flying vids on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ux4yji1V5Y&NR=1&feature=fvwp

And that one reminds me of this oldie-but-goodie:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waF-xwyEi1w

I remember the second one and it's still cool. But that first one is..................waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too short. More please.

A BFF o'mine just finished with his build of one similar, but he don't think the Water Patrol will let him "ski" Tampa Bay like that. Grin
