Home built Sea Plane Light Sport Aircraft Long Version

[@cameronlapworth2284]

you might notice these floats have a mounting point for wheels too. You can see half way down he has cables wound up. So this aircraft can have fold down wheels so it can land on land or sea. Very cool.

[@TomLeeman]

Yes, that is true. Thanks for watching.

[@erwinb3412]

Very nice video . Thanks . Always wanted to fly quicksilver sport with floats , but i got sick (tinnitus) . Erwin , Belgium .

[@TomLeeman]

Sorry to hear that Thanks for watching.

[@Alex-ws9lr]

Hey guys, do you have plans for this thing? It's great!!

[@TomLeeman]

I don’t think that he has the plans for it anymore because he sold it unfortunately but I think you could figure it out online. Good luck thanks for watching.

[@WALTERSCHWARZ-ym4gx]

[@armandoreyes6456]

Where can i buy a pair of floats for my trike.appreciate any information thankyou

[@TomLeeman]

I think you could probably find it on eBay

[@VojvodinaNet]

Very nice video, thanks!

[@TomLeeman]

Thank you too!

[@d4dan734]

Nice open plan so if you need to go you just go.

[@TomLeeman]

Hop in and off you go thanks for watching

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

It's a sport 2s rudder with a sprint wing.

[@TomLeeman]

Thanks for the info and have fun flying

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

@TomLeeman sorry I didn't mean to be so short. The whole tail section could be a sport 2s tail, but the wing is single surface fabric giving it 10mph slower flight characteristics, the sport has double surfaced wing covering giving it faster speeds all around. This plane must be so much fun down there, but the salt water probably takes a toll on the steel parts of the frame and muffler. But I can imagine if you're going to own one expensive toy in Florida, I'd have one of these too. It probably has the least amount of contact with the salt water than any other recreational vehicle around. You could buy a single seater with floats and teach yourself to fly easily with all that open practice area. They are a blast to fly.

[@symcardnel1741]

That was awesome. Kinda funny too. Man with/ camera semi abducts Tom Cruise type guy with/ cute gal friend. Love those quick silvers!!!

[@TomLeeman]

Glad you enjoyed it he built it all himself crazy

[@TrueHelpTV]

Those floats are hard to get a hold of these days..

[@TomLeeman]

So true

[@jorgeuribe7298]

Nice video, thanks sharing! Do you know by any chance which intercom and headsets they are using?

[@TomLeeman]

No idea

[@worldwidestuff5567]

Headsets were made by Rugged (from Amazon). Intercom system unknown.

[@LabibKasfik]

Nice video😮

[@TomLeeman]

Thank you so much 😀

[@josephcovino9697]

I don't know if anyone still reads these comments, I noticed the video is a year old. But I sure would love to know what ocean and location that is! The water is so beautiful, calm and clear. Thought I heard him say "palm beach " is that Florida USA? 🤔 Anybody please.

[@TomLeeman]

That is the Atlantic ocean in DelrayBeach

[@josephcovino9697]

@TomLeeman Thank you for answering, but don't know where or what country. Is that in Florida, United States??? Anybody.

[@TomLeeman]

@@josephcovino9697 Florida

[@Čangrizavi_Cinik]

If you come to Europe, visit Croatian seaside. We also have beautiful seaside, calm (most of the time) and clear water as well.

[@josephcovino9697]

@unwokeneuropean3590 MY Mother is from Trieste ! I am a retired pilot in Arizona, thinking of moving there, send photos if you can.

[@myiagreeaccount8307]

[@blackcatrose4257]

[@TomLeeman]

Yes, you could do some fishing off that

[@prasadkanchan13]

[@TomLeeman]

[@BC.Floatflying]

[@TomLeeman]

It’s ultralight

[@BC.Floatflying]

[@mace41canuck]

@@BC.Floatflyingwhat are they going to do,suspend his license?

[@BC.Floatflying]

FAA ,heavy fines + no insurance

[@alaskaaksala123]

Omg…shut……. UP

[@sanjuansteve]

Imagine if the pontoons were inflatable and could be deflated for reduced drag in flight and re-inflated for landings.

[@TomLeeman]

That would be interesting
