Dennis<br />Yes ! I've been scouring through the magazine looking for mention of ME. Only saw it 3 times, 2 of the credits on the wrong pictures. <br />At least you can see JIB, sort of, on the front page. (you have to look in the sponson mirror to see it).<br />Great article anyway.<br />

Dennis <br />Kudos for a great article, well written and photographed. Nothing but praise for the little bird. The only thing that it lacks is the actual final tally, or cost to buy and build this bird. I flew it in Florida, loved it. but would love a true handle of the projected cost from a builder of a well built and outfitted plane. Happy new year<br /> Case Jansen

Thanks Case! Depending on what equipment you install, you can count on about $60-65K as the starting point and sky's the limit from there. John told me what you're flying these days now but I forgot. I can tell you these are a lot of fun! Have you looked at flying Seareys for sale?<br /><br />

Make sure that barnstormers doesn't have 1100 hours and a manually controlled turbo...if so, it's the factory trainer and you probably don't want it.

Dennis V., I think it can still be done for less than US$50,000. Roughly, it's about $30k for the kit+paint and $15k for the engine. That gets you basic VFR instruments. Add $2.5k for radio and transponder, and go flying. (Of course, that doesn't include the 100 grand you might spend on tool-toys, but they're optional.)

Try $18,498 now for a 912s, $1,200 for exhaust, $900 for prop and at least another 10% (of total) to cover unforeseen bits & pieces. Even with a deal on a partly built kit I am already up to $59,000 (but then I have a Dynon D180.)

Oh, yeah. I forgot about the exhaust and the prop and the price increase. So it's than $55k, then. (But jeez louise--that's about $20k more than 8 years ago!)

Don, I think I spent $5k just at ACE Hardware!<br /><br />I have a complete Excel Spreadsheet on cost, but I try not to look at it anymore!

I remember back in 1998 when I bought my (entire) Searey kit from Progressive Aerodyne for $19,900, 912S ROTAX for $12,500. and basic instruments for$1000. No more.<br /> By the way- my cheap Go cart exaust has over 450 hr. ,'NO CRAKS' Secret-->install a support braket on central part of exhaust to the engine gear box. This way the entrie exhaust weight with it's inertia is not resting on the four hot elbows on those shaking startup's.

... and gas was $1.20 in 1998, and you could see a movie and have a steak &eggs breakfast for a nickel - oh wait, that was my grandpa.

Still a bargain if you compare it to the new Chinese-built Skycatcher, the too-good-for-a-Rotax-so-now-it-has-a-Continental LSA plane from Cessna, starting at over $100,000 and will go up to $111,000 after it's first year. Yessir, order me two of them.

Will some dihedral help Searey stability? Adding 1/4' on each of the wing mout blocks seems like a quick way for this. Worh it? Anibody tried it?

Those are interesting questions, Ed, and perfect for discussion on the SeaRey Technical Site (STS). A re-invitation to the STS should be in your mail box shortly.

For those who had requested a copy, they were mailed out Friday from the office. When you receive an envelope bearing the Sealed Air logo, don't throw it out!!

Super definative article emphasizing safety, quality work and innovation. Photography great and very explanative. Good looking confident pilot/builder. PA should compensate! In any case we benefit and learn, thank you Dennis.

Joe and Grant, I'll need to scare up some more copies from RAA so bear with me.<br /><br />Vic, that pic was after the maiden flight and you can't see my pants. But thanks!<br /><br />Thanks for posting it Bard! Tony G went to the trouble of collating your scan into one document so here it is for anyone else interested. Thanks Tony!<br /><br /><br />
