It _should_ requires a license if the stall speed is that high; my Cessna stalls at around 77 km/h, seven more than this thing and it was very challenging at first, especially in gusting crosswinds.
I also wonder what the stall characteristics of that wing would be...I'm no aeronautical engineer but I'd be willing to be that the bottom falls out.
To their credit, the site mentions this: "If you’ve ever had a pilot’s licence you’ll fly Nano right out of the box. The rest of you will need to learn the simple rules of the air. Minimum red tape – maximum thrills." Implies a sport license to me (half the required instruction time of a regular private license and simper medical rules).
Edit: another issue/question...the Flynano only takes off from water so wouldn't that require a single-engine sea rating? IIRC that can't be had without a private pilot's license, unless you can do sport pilot primary training from the water (which I can't find an authoritative "no" on but I don't think the FAA allows that).
