Narrative:

On the morning of apr/thu/95, I was flying a piper J-3 seaplane on a training mission. 4 other seaplanes were in the immediate area also doing training. On downwind leg to landing, I noticed one of the other seaplanes on base leg to a landing on the same lake. As I turned final, the other aircraft was crossing the shoreline on a glassy water landing. I was also making a glassy water landing. As I touched, I notice that the other aircraft had made a full stop landing and was at idle approximately 100-200 yards in front of me. As soon as my plane touched down, I took control of the aircraft and initiated a touch and go. I also made a slight turn to the left to better see the other aircraft (still at idle). As I lifted off the water, I passed the other aircraft at approximately 15-20 ft AGL. A gust of wind then lifted my left wing causing it to drop the right wing. The right wingtip then touched the top of the other aircraft's wing. No one was injured. I then made a precautionary landing to inspect any damage. There was none. I underestimated the touch and go performance of the aircraft and should have either gone around, made a full stop landing, or gone to another lake.

Title: NMAC. SMA SEL SEAPLANE ON GAR STRUCK ANOTHER SEAPLANE WING SITTING IDLE IN THE WATER CAUSING NO APPARENT DAMAGE TO EITHER ACFT.

Narrative: ON THE MORNING OF APR/THU/95, I WAS FLYING A PIPER J-3 SEAPLANE ON A TRAINING MISSION. 4 OTHER SEAPLANES WERE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA ALSO DOING TRAINING. ON DOWNWIND LEG TO LNDG, I NOTICED ONE OF THE OTHER SEAPLANES ON BASE LEG TO A LNDG ON THE SAME LAKE. AS I TURNED FINAL, THE OTHER ACFT WAS XING THE SHORELINE ON A GLASSY WATER LNDG. I WAS ALSO MAKING A GLASSY WATER LNDG. AS I TOUCHED, I NOTICE THAT THE OTHER ACFT HAD MADE A FULL STOP LNDG AND WAS AT IDLE APPROX 100-200 YARDS IN FRONT OF ME. AS SOON AS MY PLANE TOUCHED DOWN, I TOOK CTL OF THE ACFT AND INITIATED A TOUCH AND GO. I ALSO MADE A SLIGHT TURN TO THE L TO BETTER SEE THE OTHER ACFT (STILL AT IDLE). AS I LIFTED OFF THE WATER, I PASSED THE OTHER ACFT AT APPROX 15-20 FT AGL. A GUST OF WIND THEN LIFTED MY L WING CAUSING IT TO DROP THE R WING. THE R WINGTIP THEN TOUCHED THE TOP OF THE OTHER ACFT'S WING. NO ONE WAS INJURED. I THEN MADE A PRECAUTIONARY LNDG TO INSPECT ANY DAMAGE. THERE WAS NONE. I UNDERESTIMATED THE TOUCH AND GO PERFORMANCE OF THE ACFT AND SHOULD HAVE EITHER GONE AROUND, MADE A FULL STOP LNDG, OR GONE TO ANOTHER LAKE.
