Why stop there? For about $50K, you can get yourself a home-built aircraft. There isn't much to flying, you push the throttle forward, the plane goes up. You cut the throttle, the plane descends. To steer all you need to do is turn the little wheel or move the stick in the direction you want to go. Most home-builts don't stall all that easy, and if it does, when you let go of the controls in terror, they usually recover. Provided, of course, there's enough altitude for it to do so before the ground comes up to meet ya.

Just think of the possibilities---flying over the beach scouting for holes and structure, locating schools of bait, you could even hire yourself out to the tuna guys and spot for them. Bad weather? Poof on that---just builds character.
