Testing the true performance of this aircraft- it was somewhat a warm day, just me, a little bit of a breeze and one tank full. Kept full power until trees cleared. I don't know about you...but I can watch this video over and over!!!

  • About $325,000. Like all new things, its knowledge, skill and abilities (+money). lol With the right instructor learning is fun and not a difficult thing to obtain one's licence.

  • NICE!

    How much headwind was there to work with?

    Did you shove your throttle above 35 in?

  • It was 5kts or less - enought that it wasn't a glassy water landing, as you can see, the leaves on the trees are not moving much. Take off would be max 36.5

  • Wow, he really didn't have a lot of space there. Maybe you need to cut down that tree in the center.

  • @tomwolfpack Yeah, on both floats!!! A mom and her son sqirrel...

  • Drama. I expected a real close one.

  • 8mph breeze and 65 yards is all ya need....

  • how much is that plane, and is it hard to be a pilot?

  • That is really neat. With that short run there is no wonder why they are such a revered plane. 

  • holy !!!

  • amazing
