The huge advantages of ultralights is even greater when the amphibious ultralight is added to the picture.
For the hobbyist, the passionate, the recreationist, the sports flyer, the business person and so many more people worldwide, the amphibious ability of the ultralight airplane broadens the scope of "where to go" places. Some are even fitted with skis for snow landings and take-offs. Talk about versatile.
As you will see these great little airplanes come in many different shapes and sizes which is a good thing. For us it means so does the price thereby making them even more available to all.
Quality amphibious ultralight aircraft
In life generally speaking when people are seeking to purchase something (particularly when a lot of money is involved) they want quality.
When you are looking for quality amphibious, land or snow ultralight or light sport aircraft there is one company that lives up to it's name. (No I'm not going to tell you the name just yet.)
This particular company has been around since 1983 therefore has a proven (I suppose I can't say track record) Air record both for safety and reliability. Good to know when it comes to flying.
The ultralights they manufacture whether floats, skis and/or wheels can be purchased as ultralight kits, ready to fly or pre-owned and loved airplanes. These aircraft are the first preference for the professionals, the passionate amateurs and the newbies.
In 2006 the President and designer of these breathtaking ultralight aircraft, Dave Goulet was awarded the John Moody Award from the United States Ultralight Association. This award is based on his amazing success to the Ultralight Industry as a whole.
Let's face it, no company stays around for approx. 25 years without making some kind of name for itself.
Challenger aircraft have proven themselves over and over, time and time again.
With well over 3000 aircraft purchased either as ultralight kits or ready made and ready to fly ultralight airplanes, Challenger remain and continue to turn heads when it comes to flying ultralights.
