    N32DQ is My LAKE LA-4-200. Beaufort SC. Nothing beats a Flying Boat. 17 years now. Arrgh. All Pirate/Pilots love the Buccaneer.

    Nice video......I got my Buccaneer when I was 65, and love it. I still have my Cardinal, but it can't compare to the Buc for fun and versatility.....BTW, the useful load in a mine is 1000 LBS.......Also, if the waves are hitting your nose gear doors while step taxiing, then you nose is way too low.

    Just wanted to say that I've been watching your videos and they have been very inspiring. I will be 50 in April, and have just started my online ground school.

      That’s fantastic!! Get that written exam out of the way way first and then you can focus on flying !!! Go Go Go!!! Thanks for watching!

    MY life’s dream is to own one. Aventura is my price range. I happen to love the Avs visibility as well.

    How would an engine failure be handled in this aircraft? Does the nose drop?

    • @Over50andLearningToFly
      @Over50andLearningToFly  3 роки тому

      Same as any other - nose drops slightly and pitch for best glide ... thanks for watching!

    Cool airplane. Thanks for sharing. Is landing with power a compensation for poor teqnique or is it the only way to land this airplane?

    • @Over50andLearningToFly
      @Over50andLearningToFly  3 роки тому

      I don’t really know it’s my first time learning it but you do need a lot of power when the gear and flaps are down just because you got a lot of drag out. It’s a different airplane to land but it is really awesome nonetheless. Thanks for watching!

    I’ve flown with a few guys who got in the habit of landing with a bunch of power. Big jets land with power at idle. Little prop planes usually can too. I’d be interested in learning if this was just a technique the guy has, or if most pilots land this model with power.

    • @Over50andLearningToFly
      @Over50andLearningToFly  3 роки тому

      I’m pretty sure this model requires a little bit of power to land it just because there’s a ton of drag out when the gear and the flaps are down. Thanks for watching!

      Just completed my training on the LA-250, and you can land it without power.

    This seems very stupid to me, this plan was made to land and take off in the water, not jet ski around at speed. What am I missing?

    The only thing that was missing was a shot to show the whole plane. I had to google it to figure out what it looked like

    • @Over50andLearningToFly
      @Over50andLearningToFly  3 роки тому

      I know I have several shots of it on the ground but nothing in the air I just have that one camera angle but it is a cool looking airplane and I may be doing more videos with the owner of this one. Thanks for watching!

    Yeah, yeah….ever notice you don’t see bush pilots flying amphibs? The most practical mod for the Lske would be to put it on floats. Except for weight increase that would give access to docks, get you high enough to see dead heads, give you compartment floation for safety and increase wave tolerance…just sayin
