What the PIC should have elected to do was, go out to the middle of the estuary or miles from anywhere. It seems he/she didn't so they must face the consequences.

Same here, and if you come by, I don't mind telling about my mistakes...

Absolutely bizarre, but I came on here looking for advise on a Kitfox 3, as -G-BUDR is currently for sale on AFORS! Then I see that video. Licence gone?

Let me know if you become another Kitfox owner in Scotland!

If the water in that video was sea or brackish, I'd be wary of buying - thin metal will easily suffer unacceptable corrosion. Best checked after a considerable time, to allow for any salt to have acted.

Maoraigh1 - I recall that Safran (turbine manufacturer) consider any place not more than 60 miles from the coast a "high salt environment" as a result of which regular (weekly) turbine washes are needed. Of course, getting into sea spray or landing on a beach is likely even higer on the list of things that will rot your machine.
