Seaplane Adventure! Learning To Fly Off Lake Washington - First Flight

[@mmccartney6579]

Up next...Max flies the "Spruce Goose." Great video, Max! Cheers, mate! :)

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

I wish!

[@lostreb]

Almost a difference between night and day between a float plane and land aircraft. Just an observation...Thank you for the video Max!

[@chrisjeneson3763]

Super cool Max, seaplanes are awesome.

[@bernardanderson3758]

Go do it Max,,,, !,, you the Man Bro

[@Peasmouldia]

I've always been more suited to an aeroplane with fixed gear. Even more so now I'm nearing my seventies. Although with this one you do need to remember to land on water... I think I could manage that. Now what did I come upstairs for?.... Thanks Max.

[@garywilliam375]

Thanks so much for posting. I’ve been flying for 34 years but I’ve just decided to add on a seaplane rating and this video was helpful.

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

I'm sure you won't regret it!

Hey Max: what's your plan, World Tour by Private Jet?

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Maybe world tour by vintage DC-3!?

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Thanks. Seeing the area from the air gave me a whole new perspective!

Wow never knew you were from Washington watching your guitar channel. SE King Co. Since moving back to Washington as a kid in 1987. Cool video!

[@dan8402]

I loved flying so much! A Sea plane makes only that much more awesome!!!!

[@azcharlie2009]

Great video Max! Never flown in a sea plane. Your video shows there's a lot of other variables you need to consider! I have enough trouble handling a boat in the wind! I'd like to have seen a little more detail of docking. At least with a boat, you have reverse, if you come in too fast! How do you control the speed? Also, have you seen the Icon A5 sea plane? You need to check it out.

[@HeavyMetalHorizons]

Yeah, I've seen some videos about the Icon! Looks amazing! With the docking, you just have to cut the power as you come in, and slowly drift against the dock. There's a paddle on the plane in case you cut the power to early!

Fun!

Thanks Mike!

I don’t watch videos when people wear a dumb mask

[@mmccartney6579]

When you were born, the first person to ever see you was wearing a mask. Oh, and...that's about the dumbest thing I've read on-line for over a year!
