Krücker Manufacturing Limited - and the Kalypso trike.

If you were to hear the word "Kalypso" your mind automatically dreams up visions of "tropical islands, sea breezes, scantily clad damsels dancing in front of open fires. But if you had of heard the word Kalypso at Sun N Fun's Lakeland Florida you would have been brought back from this dream with a thud, to learn that it is an amphibious ultralight "Trike" built not on some tropical isle but in Northern Ontario Canada, an area more know for it's cold winters, nickel mines and timber harvesting.

The Kalypso is the brainchild of Jean-Pierre Krücker, it is a truly amphibious trike. The Kalypso features an ultralight trike, with a 3 wheel retractable undercarriage, mounted on two aluminum floats. This allows for take offs from land, in-flight retraction of the gear for landing on water via the twin float system.

The  retract system is electrically powered with a manual back up, and is strong enough to lift the trike unit and floats clear of the ground on land if necessary. The twin seat, tandem seating craft makes an ideal trainer, which can be used on both land and water.

The Krucker floats are made from 5052 aluminum, the same used for pontoon boats, and weigh in at only 93 lbs mounted. All of the seams in the floats are welded rather than riveted, and the three chamber floats provide 1800 lbs of floatation.  The floats and rigging come from the factory powder coated.

According to the factory "Krucker floats do not require a splashguard or skirt to keep the water from spraying into the prop or on the pilot, and allows  two passengers with a fast wing to fly off the water with only a 503 Rotax engine and a B-box, without porpoising or doing any of the scary things associated with floats designed for 3-axis craft."
