    Very cool! I had a question, when he lets go of the rope doesn’t retract on a real up under the plane or does it just hang free, I’d be concerned it would fly up and catch in the propeller. Great to see this use of a float plane

    • @SimonButler
      @SimonButler 2 роки тому

      It'll just trail out below it if he flies normal. It can snag on obstructions, so he'd have to keep it safely above terrain and then land back on the water to remove the rope.

      @CoreyJones314 Рік тому +3

      It's a Lockwood Aircam. Phil Lockwood built it with twin-engine redundancy so he could film a documentary over African Jungle where an engine failure would be... not good. When he came back to the US, he decided to offer it as a kit, and now there are a couple hundred of them out flying around. They can take off on one engine (though not recommended), and with both engines at full power the takeoff and climb performance is crazy. One of the coolest experimental kits money can buy at the moment IMO.
