I have been trying to get my GoPro up and running to show everyone just how beautiful Georgian Bay really is. GoPro cannot tell me why the remote won't shut it off so I have a few hours of boring video. Then along comes Dimos, my neighbour's talented 18 year old son, and we go flying! Dimos is amazing and his camera editing skills a work of art for sure. Enjoy! (and the surprise ending...  <br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQUs9KfWyQA&feature=youtu.be">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQUs9KfWyQA&feature=youtu.be</a><br />

Nice video, editing certainly helps produce an interesting story. What was wrong with the undercarriage operation?

John, sorry about your gear. Great video. Been studying the Hero 3 book myself but lack a neighborhood geek. Mission accomplished: Georgian Bay is beautiful!<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

Superbly done, John. Beautiful grassy soft landing too, mate.

Thanks everyone! I wish I had more like Dimos and another two GoPros David!<br />The hydraulic motor apparently has a flat spot. It gave me trouble once a year ago. This time I spent so much time troubleshooting that the starboard gear gradually fell down (the port being held up by the tail wheel.) <br />I have another used motor from Don Maxwell that I have not swapped in yet. After my spring annual I forgot my motor thumper (normally in my left seat pocket.) So two wrongs don't make a right..<br />No damage except my pride..

How can your pride be damaged by a landing with failed gear resulting in no injuries and no damage?<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

Could it be because he is used to ejecting when his airplane goes bad, Frank?

Good one Dan! Very nice video, too bad the weather up there wouldn't stay nice and warm like that all the time.

Didn't have my thumper...<br />And to do this with the son of my neighbour (while they watched from the FBO.)<br />First day of the Gaggle with six other planes arriving..<br />More paint off the hull..<br /><br />But the video should be a good lesson for all SeaRey folks. If you have a gear problem, (even one down) don't be afraid to do a normal water landing on the grass..<br />(Guess this should be on STS
