@FlightLevelHeaded - Yer killin' me!! HAW!! I've flown the Apache. It has two engine so that, if you lose one, the other one can get you to the scene of the crash on time.

apache on floats flys almost as good as a jenny(curtiss) on 3 good cylinders!! Can you really do a single engine water landing,,safely that is? I really remember a flight review in FLYING magazine in 1960ish that said : you can count rate of descent on one motor, NO level flight at gross weight. I like the vid!
-
now try landing on that trailer ;D
-
Id hate to lose an engine in that thing on a hot day, anywhere near max gross.

Yeah but in Holland you can smoke weed legally. What do you rather see, a 'dolly take off' or drugged out people? Whatever it takes to become airborne, and that's all performed by trained people on a legitimate runway.

Nicely done.
-
Wait until you see a Twin Comanche on floats....awsome.
-
@YKMav8r an apache on 1 engine has barlety enough power to make it to the scene of the crash especially on floats
-
What are the single engine performance numbers?
-
About how much slower is the plane with floats?
I've been thinking of ways to make an Apache slower! Thanks.

I liked the takeoff from the truck very much. If you do this in Holland you go straight to the funny farm.
