[DieselFan]

So who's gonna write the air law for inflatables? I would really like one or even the amphib, can u inmagine not worrying again about engine outs over water?

From some of the webistes I've seen the prices are roughly 17-21k $.

Still no idea how much any of these are going for here in South Africa??

Hi ,

If you would supply me with your preferred configuratrion i would ask the Italians for a quote and post it here on this forum.

[RV4ker (RIP)]

Would suggest that if you could get a couple it would help. Price will dictate interest IMHO.
Maybe entry level and then hot ship would be nice for a comparison to other available.

PS
I still keen on price on the FIB....

Feedback from Polaris on how the FIB Handle

To fly the FIB , take off and landing and air manoeuvres also in turbulence , is really much more easy than a normal Trike on land ! FIB wing is very nice and stable .

But you will need a fast training on taxing with strong breeze , and take off with big waves . Starting to make some flights in light breeze and calm water , and maybe making some fast taxing without wing on top of get confidence in water . How is your "sea water " experience ? You know ...for flying the FIB at sea in reality you should be more a sailor than a pilot ....

True imagine getting airsick, you can't just land, you have to endure sea sickness as well on landing before you can get the solid land

On a more serious note, would these planes not be subjected to the same restrictions that floatplanes are. I understand it is quite difficult getting permits for float planes because of the risk of carrying water borne diseases and invasive plants from one dam to another.

Anyone got more information
