Default When flying over water goes wrong

So I decide to have my wife take some pictures of me flying over some water to show just how Bad ASS I am and don't you know, she got some great pictures[] So now my Spa3DT is a BOAT!
Luckily the receiver was wrapped up tight and so far no damage to any electronics. Two feet farther and it would have been a landing!
Anyone else have good water landing pics?

You mean good pics, or a good landing? Or both? I'm laughing with you not at you right?
Either way, don't feel bad, I can laugh because I've been there too, just don't have as incriminating pics as you!

On that last one it would have been cool to see the tip just skimming along the water!

Great Planes U-can-Do .46 with an OS .50 SX-H two stroke. Tower mini tuned muffler that fits the Tower .46.
Power to weight is nuts with that combo.

Great landing! I had a SPA3DT Awhile back and it was alot of fun for this exact reason. I loved doing crazy stuff with it and it will withstand almost any abuse you thow at it.

Jason,
I don't believe that UCD setup is legal. WWWWAAAAYYYY too much power. I have notified the fun police, they will be in touch.

My Mcddd is back in the air! Dried out the receiver and servos, made sure the engine didn't injest any water and put her all back together. She runs and flys great. That is one to add to the books. "Spads... there water proof"
