if he would have been out another 20 feet this would have a new title THE PLANE THAT ALMOST MADE IT SHORE

3 people got seasick watching this clip

[pickles1979]

@nittynorns Because there wasn't enough room to just use the ground. The water helps slow the plane. And it's pretty fun too!

[nolifemerc]

i think he got it ritgh, he just missed by 3 feet

[b1cc2]

@cklskypilot No, because he's modulating the throttle. He keeps skiing until it's shallow enough to chop the throttle and drop it in for additional braking.

0:15 and 0:30 good thing there was solid dirt underneath that foot of water!!!

[nittynorns]

My only question is: Why?

[Didgeman80]

THat's also known as the Alaskan drive threw car wash ;)

Hi Loni, I'm an RC pilot in Whitehorse,Yukon.

Great vids :)

@AKPride00 man im looking at my post and i never said ALL bush pilots get taught this! nvm anyway. you knew about the hitting the brakes, which is something only a pilot or an enthusiast would know. truce?

[AKPride00]

@wristp1n Firstly I am not saying they are guessing, I have never been taught how yet I still know they steps. Second you said and I quote "Its taught to bush pilots". So in essence you are contradicting your self.

And for the record the steps are:

1. 10 degrees of flaps

2. shallow aproach above stall speed

3. lock brakes

4. light shallow semi-powered touch-down

5.keep brakes locked and adjust power pitch and rudder acordingly

[wristp1n]

@AKPride00 stfu! are you telling me they're guessing when they try that for the first time? give me a break! and if the only way to get into someplace is to skip on the water before hitting ground then they HAVE to do it! and i never said it was taught to all bush pilots!

Buy a plane and fly it however you would like to. Put others in it and play by the rules of common sence, nature and gravity. Nice short field landing.
