It's that time of year again, the float-flying season is nearing an end in Canada. That means another grass landing, this time on a field of clover. Check it out.

Right on the numbers if they were there. What great video. Lots of moisture in the clover for a good runout, no brakes required. I love the transport dolly. That’s awesome.

Awesome video! Didn't know you could land a float-plane on grass (clover in this case) and not damage the floats. That's a neat operation you showed there.

Excuse this, if I'm repeating (I didn't read all the comments). The thing that impressed me the most, is the fact that he touched down LESS THAN A FLOAT LENGTH from the beginning of the clover! Boys and Girls, you've witnessed a real show of skill here.

Thank you KZfaq algo. Liked and subbed. Great colour scheme. I love commenting on Canadian channels. I don't have to modify my spelling. Not like with our neighbour to the south. I know I don't have to modify my spelling, I just do it as a favour. I'll stop now. I believe the lift off shot looking back at the plane was with a long handle 360 camera mounted on the float. Don't know how you get the camera to pan. I've been seeing some tremendous shots in other videos, but this shot was AWESOME! Sometimes getting old sucks, and sometimes it just means you have had time to get the best toys. Not that you're old. Lol. As a 62 year old Canadian from the B.C. Rockies.

@flyingdundee43 7 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks for your kind words fellow Canadian, I’m really glad you enjoyed it. The 360 cam is on a selfie stick mounted on the strut, you can see it in the video. The panning is a cool feature in the Insta360 software. Cheers

Hey, thanks for your comment. I am curious because of the 100+ comments there is a handful that don't like music. What is it about music in videos that you don't like?

@happyhome41 8 ай бұрын

@@flyingdundee43 Pretty straightforward. Fundamental to video in general, and KZfaq in particular, is capturing some aspect of the world (universe) and allowing vicarious experience. In your case, for example, the sound of your beautiful aircraft in flight, and expertly piloted by you, include sound as part of the experience, were we actually present, and an added music soundtrack interferes with that experience. An analogy might be how two or more people traveling in a car, can only rarely agree on what music to play, so best to just not play any. There are some videos where the visual is so compelling, I just mute the sound to prevent that annoyance. Most of the time, where there is added music, not worth watching.

That was impressive. Did you wait for a cool morning so there'd be dew on the clover? Up here I know guys that have landed on muskeg, but not regularly. Looks like stock wing and flap? No drooped LE or VGs, eh? Good looking airplane and EDOs. Cheers!

@flyingdundee43 8 ай бұрын

Yes, morning dew or frost is the best. The North Star wing is not stock, it has larger flaps (and 50 degrees) and larger ailerons, than a Super Cub. Wing tips are raked rather than drooped. It's the raking in droop wingtips that increase stol performance not the actual droop. Had VG's (previous owner installed them) but removed them as they did nothing for performance. (perhaps they were not properly installed). They just get in the way when backcountry ski flying and you need to put on wing covers at night. Thanks for your comments, Cheers

@AlaskaTRX 8 ай бұрын

@@flyingdundee43 interesting on the wing, I had to look North Star up since I hadn't heard of them. Neat set-up. I'm thinking that the VG installation must not have been done properly. When placed correctly design AOA there should definitely be benefits. Maybe they aren't as noticable given the extended flaps, but they should help at higher alpha and lower speeds. I'd be curious to see how your Cub would do with some custom PSTOL flaps if they could be adapted to the North Star wing. Anyhow, clean bird and thanks for the info, always cool to learn about what other folks are doing with their rigs!
