Buccaneer II Amphibious experimental aircraft from Advanced Aviation.
Experimental Aircraft News Magazine - Buccaneer II Amphibious experimental aircraft from Advanced Aviation. Ever since the Buccaneer II was introduced people have been enjoying a splashin' good time with it. You and a buddy can just flip a lever to lower the gear for hard-surface or grass landings.
Pull the lever the other way, and the gear comes up for splash-down (which it will do 275 feet), without the need for expensive and performance robbing add-on floats.
The fiberglass sandwich hull, attached to sturdy aluminum tubing, allows the Buccaneer to handle some surprisingly rough water.
A really neat feature is that you can even lower the gear while you're in the water to make a beach landing -- to impress the girls.
The Buccaneer II takes off in only 325 feet (land) or 300 (water) and can climb at an impressive 500 fpm. You can push the speed up to 80 mph or cruise along at 70 mph. Wingspan is 29 inches; length, 22 feet 4 inches; height, 7 feet even. The Buc II is a rough and ready two-seater. Able to haul quite a load(560 lbs.), it offers excellent water handling, pleasant and comfortable seating, and mild-mannered flying qualities.
The Buccaneer took about 150 hours to assemble. The complete kit including engine, prop and instruments, sold for just under $20,000.00 in 1994
