Roger Lee Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Something different, Interesting little plane. Nice cockpit. Looks like a nice plane except too little payload and fuel for me. I'm not sure if any have been delivered yet? http://www.iconaircr...rst-person.html http://www.iconaircr...5-flight-2.html http://www.iconaircr...5-flight-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT4ME Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I've been following this aircraft for YEARS now, and while it looks great, you've got to wonder what's taking so long. These guys have received more press than all other LSAs combined... yet haven't delivered one airplane. Wasn't this first announced in 2006?

sandpiper Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Water flying is some of the best fun you can have. I regularly flew floats for 35 years and owned a Lake Amphip for 3 years. But, as Tim asks, "where is it?" Something is holding it up otherwise they'd be selling them by now. Looking at the videos, I'm not sure I like the lack of a wing float. What they have does the job for slow taxi but look at it on the step in turns. There isn't much separation between wing tip and water. Unless that wing tip has a design element I missed, I think if you were in a high speed turn on the step and got a wing tip in the water things might get exciting - and not in a good way.
