Whoa, That's absolutly crazy... BUT, it gives me an idea (not normally a good thing), I wander if rc airplanes could do the same thing under the perfect conditions?

You need to lock the wheels....so brakes and some large wheels. Who is up for some Cub skiing?



Anyone?

Re: The Run Way Is Wet

I read a post about this someplace else and someone stated that locking the brakes is not necessary. It is simple hydroplaning, just the water is deeper. Something to do with the air pressure in the tires and the weight being exerted on the surface of the water all wrapped up in speed and the square root of this and a dash of the tangent of that...

Your car will hydroplane on an inch of water, why wouldn't an airplane do the same. Depth is irrelevant.

It is wicked cool to see though.

Didn't Sean D. Tucker or Jim LeRoy do this here in the States once on for a TV special? Amazing Videos or That's Incredible or something?
