Dan, this set of river photos are really neat. To get them you obviously landed therein. Which raises the question <br />of how did you know that this river was deep enough and contained no water hazards (gators lulling on the <br />'runway', logs, limbs, rocks below, etc)?

I didn't know for certain, Frank. It was a calculated risk. (Mitigated by some known factors: I'd landed in the river before, I'd observed boat traffic on other occassions, I carefully scanned for obstructions (to the extent that they were visible in the inky black water), I landed in a very flat attitude so as to hopefully scoot across any log, it is central Florida and there are no rocks in the river, and I know from experience that alligator heads are hard, but not as hard as the carbon fiber hull. There is also the fact that I've gotten full value out of N220WT and it was 'expendable'.)

Dan, as you might guess from my question, I look forward to traveling up that way, someday......

Since its expendable, you should experiment some more.<br />How bout trying to get a successful wheels down landing on water? Can it be done?<br />Oh.. Send me your expendable engine before you try.<br /><br />Actually that gets me thinkin.... Are you going to tear it down?
