Sherm, you can make anything look easy!!!!! You plane looks great, you fly great, now you load/unload great. Must be nice to be awsome!

I was doing some youtube surfing and came across this
Schneider Cup 2 (5 min 5 sec)


Crappy VHS capture, but still fun to watch

Can't believe this was over 20 years ago

Well, we attempted to have our float fly this past weekend, but weather just said NO !! Most of us got some morning flights in before the winds were blowing up to 30 to 35 and the rain started. I did find that my plane will not turn at all with this one water rudder in any kind of wind. Ive already ordered a second one.

Too bad about the rain but if you are like most of Texas you need the rain. Your lake looks like it is RC friendly----not too big.
