So I have this idea that the only way I'm going to actually get flying is to go the ultralight/kit route. The cost of maintaining, insuring and hangaring a certified a/c means that my family would have to get used to store brand mac and cheeze, of which I am sure there will be considerable objection.
I've had this thought that the Skyraider Super is a considerable yet maybe a reasonable compromise; being experimental should reduce the maintenance costs and the folding wings (so long as they don't fold in flight) means it can live in my garage. They claim it can be built in 400hrs, so I likely wouldn't need an advanced degree in aeronautics to put it together...
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these, and wondering if the HKS or Rotax 582 powerplant would be suitable on floats? Any other ideas, or should I just stick to daydreaming?
Cheers!
