Amidaire Float Fly

[bob forest]

Was at the Amidaire float fly this past weekend. Good weather, and pleasant enviroment. Lot's of flying. I brought my Super Cub 108" wingspan on floats. Flew very well, my first time flying on floats, and enjoyed the experience. Take offs are different, landings are easy. I was lucky, all my take offs were on the money.

I was there last year, it was a lot of fun!

It's that time again. The Amidair float fly is this next Saturday (Sunday is rain day) in Laval. It's a nice place for float flying. I'll be there with my Beaver and flying foamie boat. I will also probably take my trainer out of retirement again for that event.

The organiser is looking for a small power boat that could be used to retreive airplanes if needed. You could contact Raymond G. Forget (rgforget@videotron.ca) if you could help.

I wanted to go, I bought a 40 size trainer to try on floats but I could not get floats on time for this saturday... :(

[Xavier]

Luis, it is not this weekend, it's next week, the 13th. Just to be sure there is no confusions.

well I'm ready for the Float Fly in Laval saturday :)
I decided to install a set of floats on my T-Rex 450 SEV2 last night for the float fly event Saturday. They are 30 size floats a bit big for it but still cute and they work very well. I adjust Stunt 2 with a special Throttle and Pitch curve for float flying. I tested it this morning, It was misty rain and breezy and small shops on the water but it flew very well and I was able to ride on the water like a pontoon boat too. very cool :D
I made a small clear plastic plate under to protect the Motor and ESC from water splash and cover the hole under the canopy. Flew 6 min with no overheating problem.
