Float Flying
 

Did some float flying from my backyard today. It's been a while since I've had the old plane out! If you look close, you can see a full size Maule M7-235B Super Rocket across the lake.

That's a real nice back yard

35 years ago I lived on Lake Orienta.  Would that be THIS lake in your back yard?

Thanks "scale only 4 me". My Dad used to take me to this lake when I was a kid then they built houses all around it so we couldn't go there anymore since there's no public boat ramp. I found a house for sale on the corner and everything worked out to where my wife and I could buy it! It's an actual seaplane base AirNav 3FD9. Jim Casey, good guess! But it's actually Prairie Lake, located about 1.5 miles East of Lake Orienta. I did go to Lake Orienta Elementary school though ;-). I was thinking of organizing a float fly one of these days from my backyard if anyone would be interested.

Scale only 4 me, what kind of float plane do you have?

I'll drive over from Tampa.  Maybe bring some buds. 
You re welcome at the Florida Float Flyers pond anytime.

My Kingfisher that needs repair, a Mini ugly stick EP, and my newest a Maxford Hansa Brandenburg W29. all documented in the threads here and 2-3 others in the works,

Not likely to make the drive down,, but a guy can dream ;)

Jim, thanks for the invite! I believe I was there about 10 years ago on a Saturday when I first built my plane. My wife got video of the day and we had a lot of fun there. I believe it was in Dover. We'll have to try and make it there before the end of the year.

Scale, sounds like you have a lot of cool planes. I'll have to check them out in the old threads!
