Farmboy,
Was this your video too? If so, tell that fellow in the middle at 6:07 with the amphib to always retract the gear when flying even if he doesn't plan on landing in the water. Flying around like he is in the video is a set up to eventually land in the water with the gear down. ALWAYS after taking off Say out loud: "Positive Rate of Climb GEAR UP". One of our other members forgot this rule .... it cost him. I won't mention any names but his initials are B.R.
If it was the formation video of a few cubs and anfibs. I met them a mile out after the gear was pumped down
Just looking out for my friends! 8)Yeah Skywagon, stop chastising Tom like that. lol!
He was on approach and the rest of us encroached on him.

That's a powerpack from a Seabee. I wonder if you could either modify the pump or tie in another one with a larger diameter piston? That would then take fewer pumps. An electric pump was hooked up in parallel in the Twin Bees. I think it was just T'd in to the pressure side of the hand pump.Good news is after 2 min of pumping you’re tired and know where the gear is.
