This single place trike is legal to fly under Part 103 of the Federal Aviation Regulations with no license required, although training from a certified school is highly recommended.

It features a North Maverick strutted folding wing,

40 hp engine and world-renowned Krucker floats with retractable landing gear.

The Krucker float and amphib setup is designed specifically for trikes with the step moved farther forward than conventional floats.

This eliminates porpoising common with other floats.

The floats are produced from 5052 aluminium the same as that used in aluminium boat construction.

They are corrosion resistant, have three air tight seamless chambers, and cross bracing.

In flight the floats fly with a 2 degree angle of attack which decreases drag and allows the trike to fly virtually the same as it would if equipped with wheels only.

Water rudders operated by cables are also included with the floats.

All amphibious trikes are outfitted with retractable wheels for easy retraction and extension in flight. Drive right into the water on your wheels, retract them, and take off on floats.

he wing folds for easy transport and storage. It takes about 15 easy minutes to set up for flight.

  • this guy has balls.

  • oooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!shiny!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Nifty ! 

  • what kind of engine and what horsepower?

  • how many horsepower=engine

  • The front wheel (there is only one) is the same as the back wheels. Very big for an aircraft that light. Those wheels easily drive across sand and grass. I have landed it on land just fine.

  • can that thing land on, well... land?

    the tiny front wheels raise doubt

  • what sort of engine is it great machine

  • wow, it looks like a hybrid dehavilland beaver mixed with an ultralight! well done
