ultralight seaplane

ever seen an ultralight seaplane?

Yeah, they've demo'd these things at Oshkosh the last several years. They
look like a blast, but, alas, they're not much use in Iowa!

Shoot, with a 27 foot takeoff, these things could use your swimming pool for
a seaplane base!

Are we looking at the same thing? We're looking at the ultralight that
looks like a zodiac rubber boat with a rogallo wing on top, right?

Those things take WAY more than 27 feet to get airborne. I watched 'em
give demo rides last year at OSH, and they take quite a bit of water to get
up.

I was reacting to someone else that said they had to make new rules for the
ultralight seaplanes, cause they only took 27 feet. I have no idea which
kind that was.
