Yeah, I've been dropping the gear in shallow water wherever I am, just to be able to stear the 'plane.
Can't wait for the water rudders to be buffed
I'll bear that in mind at Misty's - so far I've only tried coming ashore towards the south end of the runway (knowing that the ramp is closed), and get stuck once I'm fully free of the water.
Haven't tried the channel/ramp yet, but I will next time I'm there
