Smartly arranged organized and hosted R/C float flying event! The camaraderie among the participants was clearly evident. A cherry on top would have been a Bar-B-Q or maybe a foodie truck for the attendees to cap off the perfect flying day. Enjoyed the video...blue skies to all.

Ha!. I seen Twin lakes and thought it was Wa State. We have the Gissberg Twin Lakes in Marysville Wa, where they race and run Model boats, and could fly RC float planes off of the south lake(tiny RC flight stuff on the north lake). Also a Twin Lakes somewhat near Spokane, Wa, where clubs have flown RC float planes. Shot down!!, by the Red Baron on Floats!. Has anyone ever done a Fokker DR.I Triplane on floats??. Hmm. Lol. Thanks for the video, Very neat! Dad was a Private Pilot for 40+ years. A custom Piper Turbo Super Cub on Floats was my first ride. Was Awesome! Still remember it to this day. That Cub was No slouch with the turbo kit. It would jump right up, and off the water. The pilot used to to haul fishermen to remote lakes for big $$$.

Flying over water is beautiful, but I don't understand why takeoffs and landings are not consistently carried out against the wind

Real planes do this too. In fact they “flip” airports based on prevailing winds. In other words, as the wind direction changes, they change the direction of take off and landing. This is done because it creates great “airspeed” over the wings, providing more lift at lower “ground speeds”. It reduces the required distance for take offs and landings and lowers the stall speed.

I have been flying RC models for many years and I know the rules, that's why I was interested in the fact that someone takes off in a different direction and lands in a different direction... maybe the wind was changing so quickly or the edited film shots were not from the same flight
@chucksmalfus9623

Land planes use a specific direction of the runway, usually parallel to the flight line, you never takeoff or land across the runway, you either have a headwind or crosswind, not the same with float planes although you can takeoff but not land away from the flight line.. it would mean you are flying over head. its not safe to land or takeoff directly towards the flight line.

Because it was a sanctioned AMA event. Remote ID authorizations are for any AMA sanctioned event. This authorization allows AMA members to operate at sanctioned events without broadcasting Remote ID information. Altitude waivers are only for events in uncontrolled airspace (Class G).
