This is all good stuff. Thanks to all for contributing their thoughts and suggestions to my 'problem'
Special thanks to Richard for taking the trouble to post the movie....
So how about this....The aircraft has come in parallel to the waves (these will be small anyway)...After the initial impact, the prop has stopped, but the aircraft has 'bounced' prior to settling in the water. That is the instance I am thinking of modelling.
Or....As Joe points out, the engine could have taken a hit and stopped, and the pilot is trying to get down as best he can, almost dead stick.....It must have happened somewhere I suppose.
Does any of this make some sort of aeronautic sense?
Thanks again for the input....I feel I could now land an aircraft in the 'oggin with no probs.!!
