I posted this in a comment to my SeaMax story yesterday after finding it on an Aussie website. One of the big no-no’s in traditional floatplanes and perhaps (I honestly don’t know) traditional amphibs like the Lake Amphibian and others is landing with the wheels down. On a float plane, it can cause a disastrous nose-over.
This test was done, guessing from the language, in Brazil during the SeaMax‘s development or perhaps it was a production model.
Anyway, I thought this was very cool and wanted to share it with you.
