Hi bradders05

THX for the update

[mprophet100]

The reason for this a/c going around in circles is that his RH gear could not extend to the down position, so they had to circle and fix the problem...:-)

watch closely to the RH gear...

Hi flymia69

to fly with them...:-(

[mprophet100]

Hi MrAce737

cheers Mp

Didn't Chalk's go bankrupt after the crash of one of there seaplanes? Also the company was found to have poor and sloppy maintenance done on there fleet. I believe it was aired on aircraft investigation program. Anyways, great video of the Chalks seaplane.

wow that thing is really maneuverable for its size

[bradders05]

My partner was the pilot to this plane, He explained that there was no malfunction at all. and he lowered the right wheel to help him turn in the water, so assumptions lead to false information. Just thought i'd correct this
