So that's why they call them taildraggers. Roll Eyes

Great set Adam.

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

So the truth comes out,it wasn't a trick after all,it was a truck load of rocks in the back of my cub and i think i have a good idea who it was PIERRE. Angry

Well maybe it was Larry,he seems to know a lot about taildraggers. Undecided

Thank you for everything fellas. Roll Eyes

Nice shots. Have you ever tried it with a fully loaded 747-400? I've done it before where it was actually floating perfectly on the water, with no hops or skips, but I never put the tail in the water like that!!! Awesome!

It's very easy to do when someone puts rocks in the tail. Grin

Actually that's the only plane i tried it with and probably will only work with the A2A Cub.

Thank you much.

I once somehow got the perfect power setting to actually land on water in the Robinson R22 Beta II without floats. This wasn't hovering over water, the skids were actually resting on the water without going under. ATC even registered as a landing!
