I added floats to my ultralight airplane and tested it on Lake Lanier with Michael Bondch.

  • Hi friend, I know this was a long time ago. But understand. the problem is under power the thrust angle pushes the nose down on a craft like that. Driving into the water in your case. The more power you give it the harder it will dive.

  • that is sweet!

  • not planing need more hull

  • It needs more of a hull under it. The pontoons are just plowing the water. With a hull you'd get that thing on plane no prob.

  • So if you strapped wings to that and took it off, how much trouble would you be in? Specificly Lake Lanier

  • Ya need some riser post to keep your wing up and dry.Then you can take off from water.

  • L = lift, in pounds

    k = coefficient of air pressure (Smeaton coefficient)

    S = total area of lifting surface

    V² = velocity (headwind plus airspeed) squared

    CL = coefficient of lift (varies with wing shape)

    SMart toys need biofuel conversion kits

  • Wow. It just has to be fabulous to be so rich.

  • Wow, and i thought the JETSKIS on our lake were noisy! I'm just glad I'm not THIS guys neighbor.
