I thought mosquitos could walk on water?.

After many years of flying and hours of experience, this is what happens when you are too relaxed during landing. How was the water ?

[okotzak]

@periergopoulos cool.

@baldeagle1195 typically he would fly until the gas runs out then come down and land

[timmay301]

i think you slipped the last turn, ended up in a tighter turn that intended. so you could have pushed out a little more on that turn in order to carve it (but that requires speed).. tough luck, its not a big mistake or anything.

Looks like a tad bit of cross controlling just before splashdown...

[baldeagle1195]

@okotzak what is your thinking here.. why approach over water when you have an engine ? time for a serious re-think before you dont swim away one day..

[plarroy]

Can the pilot explain what happened please?

[FCbisleybob]

better aproach gentle turns or the engine weight will do this to you

[parapilot1453]

a better final approch would have fixed everything, although i see your ok, i dont know if your wing can say the same, but just better planning, thats all i can say
