There are a lot of video's out there showing different aircraft taking off and landing.
I have seen them taking off the top of houseboats, the back of trucks while on a trailer, float aircraft taking off grass and snow however it all takes experience and technique.

Now I think back we used to have a minister who lived about fifteen miles down river and he built himself a Gyro Copter.
On certain mornings when the river was calm he would be out there on it, a motor boat would pull him until the thing got flying.
A 100,000 moving parts all flying in unison looking for a place to have an accident.   ;D

I think watching him sometimes he got a little extra help from you know who just because he was a minister.   :)

They moved him and his machine to greener pastures.

[color=#000000]Great story Doug. And the way you tell it, I can just visualize it. Now that would make a great screen shot.

[color=#000000]I have uploaded this texture to the main site if anyone is interested. But give them a while to approve it. I think they are sleeping in today.
