You cannot dig in a tire, it either hydroplanes or it doesn't.


No problem if the aircraft is stabilized, but if the engine even coughs, all
the powers in heaven wouldn't keep a T6 planed on the wheels.



I disagree. The T6 will require a certain speed to stay on plane. If
you are well above that speed a cough in the engine won't suddenly slow
you down below that speed. There's not that much drag in the water.
You will probably suck the seat right up your ass however.
