NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pity about the one seat only, but if i lived near the coast,

i would give an arm, a leg and one kidney for this thing !!!!!!!!

This way you could fly out over the ocean, emergency landing no problem,

and if the sea is calm, like at Sodwana, spot the fish, land and catch some.

Just add live wells in the pontoons and Bob's your uncle

(so long as it's not oom Bob from up north :shock: )

OK and now to burst the bubble

Not allowed in the good on RSA due to the risk of spreading water bourne deseases and organisms and plants and stuff from one dam to another. The Water Hyacinth is an example

he he he. My thoughts exactly smallfly. I get sea sick, but no problem flying, so fly out there and do some fishing and then back.

Look at these... (most can be equipped with trike U/C as well as the "boat"...)

There have been a couple on ebay for around the $12K mark...

Interesting how the trike's wing folds up. Looks like a topless wing. Small fuel tank though.
I sometimes get confused............But i'm not sure

Yeah, while enjoying a very relaxing coffee and muffin by the shore at one of the lakes 8) (nice runway - immediate climb out over water though :shock: ) in the White River area (Last years Africa Cup), I considered something like the awesome Aventura II (us Gautengers also being a few hours flight from Mozambique Lagoons etc.. :D ), but on researching was advised same :cry: .

However, theres an agent of some well known 3-axis M/L's based in Cape Town who advised me he's been chatting to the DWA and sees scope to have this regulation reviewed. I guess we live in hope :wink: .
