Why have a Rib when you can fly a FIB?

[wakeup]

I've just found a way to combine my passion for flying with my passion for boating.

This will get them going when you pull this out of your tender garage also a great way to out run the harbour patrol.

Also acts as a high speed air boat.....just unclip the wings and I'm not joking, read the specs.

We saw this a couple of years ago when we were still on the river. We were wondering what speed you would have to get up to in order to fly over the locks

Spec says cruising speed is 65kph so i guess around that speed or a bit more for take off, could also avoid harbour dues and lock fees.

Wash for raggies would be rather more useful ..

Seen these flying in the US ,quite a short take off, fairly quiet, manouverable, and the landing can be damn short, seen it flying two up as well and as far as i could see the take off distance was pretty much the same, r.o.c. was effected but what do you expect, all in all i was quite impressed........keith

Very interesting site Wakeup thanks for that, their based on Costa Del Sol I see, so usefull for comparing prices. I forgive you for your past misguided comment s about Brooms now.

Looks great, but I'd love to know what it really handles like. Having flown microlights, wouldn't be too keen on that lump hanging underneath in the F4 they claim is reasonable.

Windage in a boat is one thing, but lining that thing up in any cross wind must be a complete bugger /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Brooms

Now that would make an interesting combination, a Broom with a 100 ft wing strapped to the roof and then the high rear outside helm would make a very useful cockpit.

Misguided indeed hmmmmmmmm...... but forgiveness accepted
