Goran_M Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 Don't ask me why, but I found myself watching this short video several times. I almost cringe when I see it hit the water!I didn't make it.

larjeet Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 What was the point of lowering the landing gear before ditching ? Quote
Goran_M Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Posted April 3, 2012 Ha. Theo said the pretty much the exact same thing.I'll double check it, but from what I remember when making the flight model, when both engines fail and there is a total loss of hydraulic pressure, there is no hydraulic pressure to hold the landing gear up.But as I say, I'll go back and double check it.

Gjalp Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 Beautiful landing.....almost as good as most of my water landings!!!!Great to see nothing bent or broke off (VBG) and the landing gear is still intact so you could paddle to the shore and taxi up onto the bank cant wait to get this one......should have enough funds at the end of next week Slainte.AndyPS....never get sick of watching this one Quote
