That is common theme in the seaplane and bush pilot books I've <br />been reading recently          Kenneth Leonard - Aug 27,2012   Viewers  | Reply     At light weight, she dances off the water. At gross, takeoff run can easily be 3 times as long. 7 seconds vs 21 (or more with poor technique) And that is with VG and LSX wing and every other trick in the book. Look at SeareySTOL on youtube. (one word)          Robert Charlwood Richardson - Sep 01,2012   Viewers  | Reply     I would point interested pilots to Dale DeRemer's 'Seaplane Operations' book which has an excellent chapter on takeoffs. the chapter has a number of tables outlining the impact of density altitude and weight on aircraft performance.       Attachments:   DeRemer''s Seaplane Operations          Ben Bienvenu - Aug 28,2012   Viewers  | Reply     That is a real STOL takeoff! Wonder if that's the 115 hp rotax turbo          Kenneth Leonard - Aug 28,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Ben - that is 100 hp. Weight is far more important than power.<br />There is also this one: <br />https://<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M__MrjhLgTo&feature=plcp">www.youtube.com/watch?v=M__MrjhLgTo&feature=plcp</a><br />jump to 1:15 in the video. Yes, the breeze helps, but it's all about weight. 1 second to get on the step.
