Outstanding stuff! The Texans on water is wild! No, I don't believe it's a Photoshop job either. I liked the last bit of footage of the Cub with the Tundra tires coming up in front of the camera. I was worried there for a second! I was close to getting a Lazy Bee and some big Trexlers and trying it on a pond, but wound up on another toot. It's clearly not the same, but using the J-3 on the Microsoft 2004 Sim I've put it's wheels on water several times. It seems you best have just the right power setting and the right touch on the stick, or it ain't gonna hydroplane. Fun though. I know several Ultralight pilots who played "follow the leader" over a river who got their wheels wet. Butts too! I didn't have the ba...er guts.
