I spent 20 years rolling out to the left thinking that I would be gaining advantage by following the left torque and turning tendencies. I noticed the experienced beaver and otter pilots always rolling right and discovered the airplane gets off shorter. You are basically leveraging against the the p factor
Flying in Alaska is my number one bucket list item. Do you think that boaters make much better floatplane pilots? Seems like it would. Thanks for the great video!
Has anyone ever tried hydrofoils on a seaplane to be able to takeoff with less drag on the water? Also, would a hydrofoil give you smoother landing in less than flat water so the pontoons only touch when the plane is at a slower speed?

Beautiful place to fly. Getting back to Alaska is on the top of my list.
Never tire of watching seaplanes take off and land... don't know why.

Certainly helps a bit when you're first starting
Nice flying. I have a 1946 7ccm c90-8 on floats and ski's I have wheels but i have never had them on.
Awesome!!!

Great videos man ! Just curious, what drone are you using to get these amazing shots ?
What was that red turboprop seaplane at the end?
DHC-3 Turbine Otter!
CFII 750hrs looking to have fun with flying again. COVID hoax is making moving to Alaska look like a good option.
It's a great place!
