Cross a hang glider with a dingy, slap a motor and some wheels on it, and you’ve got the Italian-made Ramphos Flying Boat. It may look like something you’re nutty neighbor cobbled together in his garage but it is apparently one of the most easily piloted ultra lights for beginners. And the ability to take off and land on water saves on expenses if you live near water—not to mention the bonus of freaking out boaters and bathers. A Brazilian company called Brio makes a similar flying boat that is featured in the video. 

With disposable income levels running high, expensive hobbies like aviation are coming within the reach of more and more people – and hobby pilots are discovering that small planes are coming down to a price point on a par with a touring motorcycle or midrange car. Owning a small plane has its drawbacks though – storing and transporting them can be difficult, not to mention the fact that you need an airstrip to take off and land from. The Italian Ramphos, however, suffers none of these issues. It’s an amphibious flying boat that’s just as happy taking off and landing on water as on land with its retractable wheels. You can tow it around on a trailer, and like the best of late-night TV exercise equipment, it folds for easy storage. This purpose-built little 2-seater is effortlessly easy to fly, handles like a dream and offers a very affordable, practical and exhilarating way to explore the local lakes and coastlines with maximum thrills for minimum fuss.
