they skidded on the water instead of penetrating and this started the
forward roll.
The Compair's tail dragger floats would be very similar to landing in VERY
wet snow on penetration skis and you better be ready with full power and up
elevator!!

The following Transportation Safety Board of Canada reports are a must
reading.........
I'll be installing a gear warning system of some sort.
Wayne, With the forward rotation following mains contact, I think the
plane was going over even if it didn't have the nose wheels down.
Compair certainly has an interesting design for thier 3450 and lower
amphibs with the tail wheel . These mains also protrude less.
The 4000-6000 are just plain UGLY though.

Watch it 5 or 6 times before each float flying season, and again half way
through, and you should have a good season of looking out the window and
verify gear position before landing!
