Who needs a float plane?

Combine cheap flying machines with cheap boats and you get the ultimate backwater fishing machine!

I can't even believe that is real! The website caption says it best..."dinghy + hang glider + engine = hilarious obituary"

[BillM]

I gotta admit, I'd fly in that thing..

 

 

 

With a parachute of course

[irishfield]

Yah it's real... we've got one here in Midland that's a real ......... nuisance ! Couldn't pay me to climb aboard one!

 

Just remember in Canada that THING needs Transport Canada Registration (with 12" tall letters down the side of that Zodiac), as an AIRPLANE, and you have to have at minimum an Ultralight Pilot Permit... unlike the nuisance here locally that TC is trying to catch, and I'll gladly help, before he kills someone dive bombing boats.

 

If you wanna build/buy/own a "flying boat".. Ie one that doesn't have enough wing to fly and stays in ground effect above the water... you can register that one as a boat and don't need a pilots licence.

Next time your in the boat irishfield bring one of the rocket fishing rods LOL! Or a sling shot with a big rock. Tie a spool of 150 lbs mono to the rock and get it just infront of the prop

 

I wonder if 300+ yards of mono would stall the prop!

 

hey I wonder if that would work on the next stupid person in a jet ski that passes less than 10 feet from me LOL!

Yep...it works.

 

I refuse to be held accountable for any of my previous actions

P.S. witnesses are not a good thing.

Oh ya, quick edit. Wouldn't get my butt in that plane / boat / thingy for anything.

There is something like this thing up in the Pointe Au Baril area as well, never seen it fly but seen it at the dock. Wouldnt catch me dead in one

I have never been in an airplane, but the chances are a lot better of me getting into Wayne`s than me ever getting on? that! LOL Wayne seems to have his head on straight, dude flying that thing must have bumped his.
