Hate to see that guy in shorts lifting by the horizontal. I think I can see upward deflection compared to the elevator.

Be CAREFUL asking for help to move an airplane. Most folks have NO idea where to push or what to be careful of, and they WILL try to help.

And, some of them are REALLY strong........

When I did a lot of seaplane instruction, I used to take students into the Chena River, and go up to the dock at the Princess Hotel. If there was anyone on or near the dock, I'd always tell them in a very loud and clear voice NOT to assist us in docking the airplane....

It sooo easy to have mechanical problems over a beautiful beach.
