Thanks for looking.

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

Wonderful shots Larry...well done... :)

One question if you have the time.... :)

Are you planning on applying for a bugsmasher float flying bush pilot's job this summer in Alaska?

I don't think Greg or Chuck would mind if you used them as character references, I am afraid if you used me you would end up being tied to a tree... ;D

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thanks Doug. :)
Only if it's simulated. ::)
Character references? Does that mean they would tell what a character I am?

It wasn't that bad at all. I just don't have enough hands to take screen shots, as my water rudder is on the throttle button I have mapped to elevator trim. Forward is up, backward is down, and down is water rudder.

I have to wait for just the right moment to put the water rudder down and hit the other rudder to slow down without tipping over. I'm not sure it is a technique that would work in the real world. Doug could probably tell us.

Remember how you used to hit the brakes and turn on your bike to slide to a stop? Same principle. ::)

Hi Larry... :)

Take a look at this Link...

http://www.fortlangleyair.com/docs/Basi ... Skills.pdf

There is some good information there.

One of the reasons the DeHavilland of Canada DHC-3 Otter is so successful is this:

Thanks Doug. :)

There is some great information there. I'm too tired to read it all right now, so I saved them both. I did read some of the first link before my eyes started crossing. I especially appreciated this line:

"A rough water take-off can turn into a series of bounces from wave to wave. They are typically not very pretty."
