Topic: Floats!

How I wish I had a Multiplex Mini Mag with floats right now. I have never seen so many suitable flying sites today on the way to work 
 Has anyone been floatplane flying today?  Any pics?

Pictures of our site here

Floats definately required!

There sure is some standing water in our area.  Hope it clears up soon I've got to go to Hull on Thursday it's supposidly quite bad

Quite a few pics on our site Gumball. Try  www.windermeremodelwaterplaneflyers.co.uk  And it doesn't need to rain heavily where we are because there are plenty lakes here. We even have the largest Lake in England!

About the same size as a medium-sized pond over here, from what I remember

I love that yellow Ready 2...

here's my 2nd hand Cessna which didn't fly this weekend due to rain water submerging the Rx battery 



but it does fly nicely with the irvine 61 ...off either land or water

Note the starter tie wrapped to the 12v battery ...makes for easy restarting on the strip (when allied to a glowstick), and helping out clubmates whos batteries are dead/down/discharged

Great photos and links 

The Ready 2 looks like he is having a right old time getting back to terra-(in)firma!

Mate of mine owns that Ready, helped him build it and I sometimes get stick time, lovely plane on a OS 46AX.
That was his worst arrival to date, I still can't figure out why the motor didn't stop as he went deeper than frame 4 shows.
I'm still pondering about what waterbird I should get for myself, I've got plans for a 1/8 Catalina

Here is one of my fav. pics of the Ready.

Gorgeous ...wot a picture

Musr be all that paint that makes heavy,,,,,,,,,,landings Waterings? Does look nice though

Lol, it's far from heavy though 

The top picture is our site as it looked last week,



This is the same spot last night!!    Normally the worst we see is a bit of standing water in puddles across the low points of the field..  At the moment, its more than three feet deep



The houses on the left skyline are in Toll Bar, Doncaster, which has seen the serious flooding during the last 24 hours. My heart goes out to them.   

Just for the hell of it, my Seamaster is on charge.

Hi Dave

I know you've got some quite huge stretches of water in Finland Dave, but Windermere's 10 1/2 mile length is enough for even me to take off and land safely! 

P.S. Buster's Cessna was originally mine. He seems to like it!
