I know a lot of you guys love air planes. I saw this cool little amphibious plane on Instagram. It breaks down and is towable.
For those of you who are just not spending enough money on motorcycles.....here’s your next money pit! :laugh2:

What? So they’re knee deep in debt and not delivering planes as promised? And that little crash that killed their head engineer and test pilot? Details details......you wouldn’t let a couple small details stop you from giving these guys $200,000 of your pocket change would you? :pimp:
 
One thing I do like about it is the research that went into spin resistance... I consider that a must for the new generation of lightly trained sport pilots. With the leading edge cuffs they designed, it became highly spin resistant.
Beyond that... it's an overpriced rich mans toy. Not much payload, not much range and can't even break a hundred kts.
 
That was a cool little video Jim. Thanks for posting that. This is totally non related but what the heck. I have gotten lost for hours watching sail plane videos taken high up in the Rocky Mountains. It is as dangerous as it is exhilarating. I was watching this one video once, where the guy was way up in snowy peaks and he dropped down behind a ridge and the wind died down. He got panicky and started looking for places to put down. He got out of it but it was pretty hairy. This is just for fun.
