facthunter Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Think about it. You can pick stuff up off the ground the same way. Someone has to hook it on.. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf jessup Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 This pic isn't the Dalby to Goondi road is it Tommo, you lot up there have been copping a flogging or is it more east of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nah, this is at Lake Broadwater west of Dalby. We've had about 9mm all up, so next to nothing, east and west of us have been inundated, and it still continues. A little more rain would be nice around this area actually. Saves a lot of money and energy on irrigating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah, it's one of those "don't do this at home" videos...I'd be interested to know how they started off though! I saw one where they were barefoot behind a Dragonfly (in the US) they had the ski rope on the plane already and the skier on a jet ski... match speed, grab rope, then bail from jet ski. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Expensive way to go water skiing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yeah, it's one of those "don't do this at home" videos...I'd be interested to know how they started off though! When I water skied years ago we did a speed pick up and the boat circles the skier and rope is slack, grab rope, flick over head, find handle and boat straightens up and pulls skier out, I wonder if plane circled with rope in water, skier grabs handle and straightens up and off they go otherwise I suppose he was towed by boat and swapped. looks like fun as there would be no wake and smooth water although not so smooth in video. Might need to get float plane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 That's it Camel. If the end bit is draggy and not heavy, you can fly around it. Now I'm encouraging you . ( Broken one of my own rules). Now that you have found the magic of a Cub type plane Tomo tell them that fast plastics are only for people who want to get there fast (and who must not like flying). How many HP is the motor in the J3 85? Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 How many HP is the motor in the J3 85? Nev Yes 85hp Cont. I've got a towing approval for gliders... wonder if that covers water skiers as well..? When I water skied years ago we did a speed pick up and the boat circles the skier and rope is slack, grab rope, flick over head, find handle and boat straightens up and pulls skier out Yeah we do that too for experienced skiers. Just got home after a day of it actually! Was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf jessup Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm betting the skier was behind a boat and the plane came past with the rope and he done the swappo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
