Float Amphibious LSA Hire

[damiens]

Does anybody know if there is anybody on the east coast, preferably NSW/VIC that would hire an LSA float amphibious plane out. The catch being that I would need to get float plane endorsement in it or I will get the endorsement elsewhere and then hire it. Responsible pilot, 400 ish hours, aircraft owner, would treat is as I would my own, etc etc.

 

Thanks

 

Damien

These are a good alternative to hiring.

facthunter - not sure if that was a serious question about sailing. But I have been around boats, wind, surf and sailing all my life. Have a current boat license.

It is a serious question. Nev

So my perfect day would be a fly on floats in AM and a kite surf PM

 

Basically flying and kite surfing are a perfect match, except a bad float landing is a whole lot worse than a

 

bad kite jump, but you still gotta get the flare right in both.

G'day Howe, just so happens at my local the other day we were listing our beaches collective kitesurfing injuries (small group of about 15). Broken fibia, two ACL's, entire flesh stripped from an index finger plus a rotar cuff. This kitesurfing is dangerous, I'm going flying :-)

Yes Damiens,

 

Both sports can bite you if you get it wrong, so far no injuries, flying since 1980 kite surfing since 2007,just bought a foil, waiting for spring.
