It's an interesting design; I wonder how the low wing goes alighting and taking off in a bit of a chop. The Che-28/29 looks like a handy little amphibian as well, a bit smaller and more conventional looking than the Be-103, looks a bit like a little Grumman.

The new model Che-29 is supposed to be priced from around $170,000. It would certainly be a lot of fun for someone living near a lot of waterways.

 

Cheers, Willie.

Hmmm... how would that go with some half decent waves!
