    Sounds interesting. But it's just getting off the ground and clearly has lots of work to do before being ready for sale. Suggested price is $62,000 without engine, instruments or paint and you still build it yourself.

    The usual flip-up canopy concern is repeated here. <br />Another I see is the very small tailwheel, might be a problem in soft sand. But looks like it does not retract, so they probably kept it small for that reason.<br /><br />Also, the wing fuel tanks are fiberglass. Ethanol-mixed auto fuels could be a big problem.<br /><br />The main wheel retract cuffs serve as stabilizing sponsons (if I read that right). I don't know if they've done water tests yet, but they look inadequate for that.<br /><br />An interesting feature are the water brakes, which act as brakes when both go down, and help steer when extended individually.<br /><br />It's a 2-seater, but flying behind someone is just not as enjoyable as sitting next to them. Also, visibility from the rear seat in a tandem aircraft kinda sucks. You get to appreciate how Charles Lindbergh must have felt.<br /><br />If they want to promote this in the U.S., they may want to reconsider how their URL sounds in english.

    The tandom seating results in a narrow hull. Probably very long take-off runs.
