im the pilot and i know i messed up. power too late not really knowing where the water was and comming into the manuver wrong to begain with. the clip doesn't show the two flights before it. but nobody wants to see the same hovering that everybody does. and yea i was trying to show off my new skills which showed me i needed more pratice. i also had the nervous hand that i know you all have had when trying to learn new stuff. to me that was a great day of flying with my friends.
the plane was fine broke the prop and elev. once dried and repaired i must have put 150 flights on that air frame. and no i can't afford it i had to work o.t. and a second job to buy that plane and i loved every minute of flying it, even when i had to swim after it.
no it wasn't coming in too hot. no it wasn't because it was nose heavy. the pilot wasn't consentrating on his surroundings. he came to low and was too late to add power. well done mate.
This is why I like flying floatplanes. Waterproof the receiver and ESC, electric brushless and servos survive water normally ok (hairdryer), make sure its mainly foam, and absurd crashes in water are surviveable with little or normally no damage. On land the same crash - devastation ....

Next time try using the wing to fly. I am one of many who cant stand all this pointless prop hanging garbage. Fly! its fun to see a wing taking smooth lines through the air. It takes skill design and lift. You dudes might be happer mounting 200cc to a sheet of plywood, as you dont need wings to do your silly way over done tricks. Flying clubs dont need this kind of skate boarder rc. Stay at the swamp you might help kill some mosquitos.
LOL, it's people like you and your closed minded views of the world who ruin hobbies. If it werent for diversity the world would be a boring place of cuban eights and stall turns. If 3D flying were so un-interesting why have full scale pilots been beginning to perform our "overdone" tricks at airshows accross the world? Harriers, tourque rolls, rolling harriers, walls etc... many of those moves were first done by RC pilots because we have the power to weight ration that full scale do not.
That's a great comment. Your wonderful attitude and fantastic comments are fitting to a person of your stature. I bet you are the kind of guy that sits under the shelter at your field and yells at people for making passes too low and flying out of the pattern, or a know it all that people dread to see come out. "Oh shit, here comes that guy again." You should keep your negative comments, and dull flying to yourself. It's people like you that repel so many from this hobby.
@glass29tractor You are nothing but a FOG. Our club is in serious demise because of closed minded old farts like you. The younger generation is what is going to sustain this hobby and when closed minded Friggin Old Guys (FOGS) like you run them out, who is going to keep the hobby going? You are just jelous that you cannot do 3D!!!!!
On a lighter note though, if you could do 3d, you would be one of the ones out there showing your stuff and having loads of fun - be more open minded dude!
@PC9JEFF I here ya! We just made huge changes at last meeting, several people didn't fly last year because of the rules that were created on a daily basis without even voting on them just because they were outside of the flying skills of what you call FOGS.
These people need a club of their own where they can just do there pattern flying and not worry about something new ever happening or new people joining.
We are trying to get back to fun and get new people into the hobby and evolve.
Everything just has to dry so the servos radio gear etc.. the engine and plane well if it was full of water or soaked that might have to be replaced but the engine can be cleaned should at the most only be a new airframe
É isso ai meu amigo... "Só não lenha, quem não voa".... Continue tentando... Valeu.... (Yeah my friend ... "Just not wood, who can not fly ".... Keep trying ... Thanks ....)
Actually, for 3D pilots, overpowered is the norm, although we never use that word. That plane had the power he needed to pull out. The thing that doomed him was not using proper throttle management comming out of the dive ;)
that was a good dicthing tho
