ANSWERS:
1) How does it fly off the water with the chute?
We lay the chute out on the ground and blow it up with the motor. Normally it's best to have the Explorer up on the beach one float length. We land on the water and water-taxi with the chute overhead to a point where we can either "beach" the machine or parallel the shore and "steer" the chute on the shore with the steering bar.

2) How does it fly off the land?
There are small wheels under the floats that are fixed. Taxiing on land is a snap. The nosewheel retracts for water operations and is fully operable from "the cockpit" in the water or in the air. While taxiing around in the water, pilot can extend the nosewheel and taxi right up any ramp or beach area.

3) What chute do you have?
We flight tested with the Quantum chute (with two people), however, prior to our water testing we switched to the higher lift PD Windjammer chute. (recommended)

4) Can any Destiny be used? Do you have to modify the original machine?
Any Destiny Machine (582) can fly the Explorer package without any modification. This is a BOLT ON kit. It flys SO WELL with the 582, I'd like to try a 503 Machine after Sun'N Fun.

5) Do I get the kit from Destiny?
No.
The kit can be ordered from Flightline Television. Ph 616-744-1887. WatchFLTV@aol.com

6) How much will it cost?
We don't know for sure, yet. In the neighborhood of $3,600. FOB Muskegon, Michigan.

7) How do you transport the Explorer?
We purchased a used "hobicat" trailer and the "Explorer" winches right on!
