This is another float-flying video produced by Chris Palmer of Angle of Attack Productions. This is my C-172N with a 160 horse engine and a Power Flow exhaust. Plus a Horton Stol kit. She sits on PK-2300 floats. At time 2:24 I am doing a demo of what happens with too much back pressure on the yoke. It drags the float after-bodies and induces drag. It causes a series of little buffet induced waves to pop out behind the floats. We buggered up on the text for that part.
