There's always something to learn when flying with others. New planes, new building techniques, varying weather conditions, new radio's. Yesterday I was float flying at our float club's lake. Almost everybody ... myself included ... made some pilot error that ended up dunking planes in the water. One guy's ESC caught fire and melted his plane. We had our little electric boat out most of the day retrieving planes - two at a time. The weather was perfect, the wind was blowing out of the Northeast (perfect for taking off) ... but we were just plain STUPID! But we had fun.
