Default Float flying in South Eastern PA?

Anyone flying off of water in South eastern PA? (Bucks county area). I moved out here from B.C. 3 years ago and miss flying off the water!

Default Float Flying in SE Pa.

Hey Sean, I got some info from asking around.There's some guys from Different clubs that fly at Blue Marsh Lake. On Tuesday evenings. I have'nt had the time to ride out there to check it out. But I plan on trying. Also, a club in York Pa. York Area Radio Control Club I've been told is active in float flying. Have'nt been able to get in touch with them either. hehe. Thats me, no luck at all. I'd really like to find somebody that knows any float plane activity in our area. Oh well keep asking. If you find out anything let me know. Robt.

Robt,
Actually the past few evenings at our field you could have easily flown off it with floats! my ultimate basically hydroplaned along it! I'll keep my eyes/ears open for some float flying sites and let you know if anything materializes.
