March 8, 201214 yr That's actually a lot harder than it looks. Nice landing..

March 8, 201214 yr Commercial Member Impressive! I tried it myself with a different tact. I set up some gale force winds at 36 knots and tried to hover it in. I think I can do it if I practice a bit more, but its a LOT of stickwork. The Icon is a feather being blown about!!! Kevin Miller 3D Artist and developer
March 8, 201214 yr I'd hate to do that in real life - didn't look too realistic to me. There again, I haven't seen the tag "As real as it gets" on Flight !David
March 8, 201214 yr Commercial Member In real life, the A5 can really carv up water like a jet ski. I saw video's of it and its impressive to see. Even going so far as dilling the wing tips into the water as it turns!!! Dont under-estimate this little guy! Kevin Miller 3D Artist and developer

March 8, 201214 yr The problem is stopping the plane once you hit the water, it feels more like you landing on ice.
March 8, 201214 yr Nice landing. I need to practice some more before I try that. I hope MS keeps adding little challenges like this one.
