    'Engineered beyond belief' pretty much says it all. Beyond belief.

    This is the same type of tail the Teal has. To have adequate structure it has to be robustly built. 'Robust' as in heavy. The Teal is a tailwheel terror. Get a little outta line and that heavy tail will want to take you for a swing. It takes two men and a boy to lift the Teal tail out of the sand so most owners don't bother beaching it.

    Oh, yeah. I remember the Pelican. There was one sitting at X04 for years. It flew once then was grounded for repairs. Parts of the stabilizer and other important structures were found to be delaminating. The guy that wanted to import them got a good screwing from the Ruskies. No, the AN-24 is not the Pelican, but it is from the same neighborhood.

    Don't misunderstand, Buck. I'd love to see another good amphibian. For some reason I've gotten a bit skeptical based on past experience.

    It's a known fact that you are experienced with composite aircraft, Buck. As the story goes you almost died in one. Makes me want to run out and fly one. NOT!

    Nothing like a ride in a SeaRey to make this conversation less than interesting. I just hopped out of the seat. Nothing can change how good I'm feeling right now... ya'll have fun ya hear?

    You are so right Brett. I was the only person to get to a local fly-in bkfst this morning...due low cloud and threatened Tstms. A 10 minute flt both ways was just great and re-inforced the joy I get from the SR...'A' hull and all.....but.....if this thing is better in rough water...I'm all for it. The price tag is right and IF it is as good as it appears to be...what the hell....go for it!

    Will be looking at this one in October---never hurts to check out new designs---

    Dave, if it is better rough water performance you are looking for, the least expensive and risky solution is to drop that old 'A' hull and bolt a 'C' hull onto your SeaRey.<br /><br />Untill there are a lot of A-24s flying in the world and they have fully debugged it, I am sticking to a SeaRey......it is tried and proven and we know its shortcomings (which are few now) and I can easily live with that. <br /><br />I am very happy for the 'crash test dummies' and other frontier seekers to do all the hard yards before I would buy into an aircraft that has not proven itself.

    I wonder if these people ever saw an Anderson Kingfisher. Sure looks like the modern composite version of one.<br /><br />3 seater, huh? Three grown adults? Or two adults and a small child?

    The specs indicate a payload of 800 lbs so carrying 100 lbs of fuel and 10 lbs of assorted equipment gives you an option of who &amp; what to carry. It is my understanding that TC will only register you if it is a 2 seater. This to be determined.

    Dave. Mike Lush is rebuilding his SeaBee as an 'Amateur Built' with four seats. I believe the 2-seat restriction may be an ultralight restriction. Larry has already indicated that this aircraft will not be imported as an Advanced Ultralight. In other words, I understand that he is working with the Company to produce a 'kit' that will meet the 51% rule.
