Very very very awesome! I've been watchign a few Larry Mednick vids and guess that's why this puppy showed up :) I got some 10 hours in a few different trieks a couple decades ago and can appreciate the 'high' they produce... add the Lakes Region in New Hampshire and that's about as close to heaven one, or three, can get. THANKS!
Great Video I want to get a seaplane rating sometime. I loved it, especially when I seen the Icom A22 portable radio a trusty friend in my flight bag. ICOM gave me a bad time for having the 25 year old radio. They said I needed to upgrade. I said not until dies. Its a great backup radio
Exactly - Nothing wrong with the A22 - I have 3, just replaced all the batteries and antennas - The powers-that-be will always want you "upgrading", absolute nonsense - If it ain't broke, don't fix it - My trike is 1999, I keep rebuilding it - My GPS is just as old as well, everything works great - And I am not a cheapskate, I'll spend whatever it takes to fly, but I do not buy into newer is better, unless it is, not in this case
TO time/distance varies - Yes there is density altitude, but I can't be bothered with that - Glassy vs a light chop makes a huge difference as does headwind and weight on-board - Boat wakes are dangerous - All I care about is flying, the details are irrelevant to me

I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Air Creation Float Trike video with me .
Great to see you again, Richard. I missed your flying videos.

Well, that was FUN! Thanks.
New subscriber!! Saw it on barnstormers, wish I had one of these to film my stuff!👍👍🤙
Absolutely Awesome - Great video
That looks like a lot of fun!!! Great video. I need to try that. LOL

Fabulous... My son filmed you passing his construction work site ❣️
Loved it!
Well done!
Awesome! 2:24 WooHoo
Does it really take that long , time/distance to break free of the water surface ?
8 to 10 seconds
.. density altitude take off distance in these= 20 sec take off or 30 feet
TO time/distance varies - Yes there is density altitude, but I can't be bothered with that - Glassy vs a light chop makes a huge difference as does headwind and weight on-board - Boat wakes are dangerous - All I care about is flying, the details are irrelevant to me
My granna used to say... be patient or you'll become one.
Imagine if the pontoons were inflatable and could be deflated for reduced drag in flight and re-inflated for landings.
Floats actually generate lift which increases useful load, deflated and flapping in 50mph winds would produce quite a bit of drag
