      In Europa you have no space by law for such a "ofroad" airplay, Easley it is not allowed to start and land everywhere at the lake or sea.
      How is it in the US, is it allowed by law to start at every lake?
      So the idea of, flying to fishing is really funny but in Germany and the rest of the EU nearly impossible.

    Microsoft's new flight sim is absolutely amazing. I just flew the Icon A5 out of Seattle WA. 96 miles south to Mt. St. Helens! The volcano looked incredible as i was coming in from 11,000 ft . Also, there are a couple huge lakes near the mountain, and so I landed the Icon on the one which is on the north side. After the landing I was just floating while enjoying a JAW DROPPING view of Mt. St. Helens from that lake!! I was blown away by that experience. I can't believe how great everything looked and that It was even possible to do that!!!!!!
    I HIGHLY recommend that flight.

      Nope @ all of you guys. On the Hudson River there’s something called the “Hudson River corridor exclusion” which is basically airspace over the Hudson. Aircraft are cleared to be at that altitude (below 1,300ft I believe). For the Statue of Liberty, you’re allowed to do orbite and descend down to 500ft. What you can also do if you ask is the Central Park transition to the east river. It’s pretty self explanatory but it means that you can cross over Central Park to go down the east river. Hope that helped.

    "In April 2016, the ICON A5 purchaser's agreement was made public and was noted by the aviation media as containing many controversial elements not usually found in aircraft purchase agreements. These included contractually required pilot training, maintenance, agreements not to sue, the requirement for factory airframe overhauls every 2,000 hours or ten years (whichever comes first), and a limit on the aircraft's life of 6,000 hours, or thirty years. Furthermore, each aircraft would be equipped with a camera and recorder to monitor pilot behavior, that is owned by the manufacturer but must be maintained by the owner. Owners would have to agree to be "supportive" of the company. Future owners were required to sign the same agreement or face penalties"

      Still far from a flying car. But very close to a flying personal transport and portable enough to be towed by a sport suv.

    They say no airport needed accept when it’s illegal to fly planes where ever you want . There are very strict no fly zones in plenty of cities how will this affect the experience?

      Pimpin303 oh glad you cleared it up for me 🤣 . Because I totally thought I should land on 5th ave in NYC . Smh 🤦‍♂️..... even when you own a big chunk of land there are military bases and airports everywhere buddy so all in between there are no fly zones . I live in Texas the best and biggest state in the United States LoL and I can’t even fly a drone in several giant open private properties and they are several miles from an airport . But it’s still considered to close . Just like you cannot land on a public beach or the coast guard will arrest you . Learn laws then comment .

      The word "adventure" gets terribly abused by some brands. This thing barely gets off the ground or water with the 98hp Rotax 912iS. It's a flying equivalent of an 100cc scooter.
