Leaving Nahmint lake 2024-07-06
Leaving Nahmint lake, a glassy water takeoff. One interesting thing to notice is my pilot friend Phil, a long time Lake pilot, prefers to keep the flaps up until the plane is on the step. (4:30), a technique rarely used by most Lake pilots, but may protect the flaps from being hit by high speed water.

Great video enjoyed
I also noticed you left the flaps in takeoff position until almost the end of the the video. I was curious about that. Very nice video. It's almost like being there.

Thanks for the nice words! Yes, that was my co-pilot Phil lowered the flaps right before the takeoff. Lake amphibian requires the flaps to be lowered for take off.
Taxiing with an oar... love it 😀

Didn't bring the fishing gear with us. There were some campers with tent, kayak, and fishing gears, so I assume there's something there worthy in the water.
