finally on the market, Dan Johnson's review

That's one trimmed-down seaplane. I like.

 

Not sure it's worth a quarter of a million and 4 years wait, but it's nice.

Nice but I would need to win lotto to be able to buy one.

US$186,000 / 0.69 = AUS$269,565 plus say AUS$6000 for freight plus 10% on top = $303,122.....yeah needs a big lotto win for me

Sweet but id rather

Can't be one or the other. Compromise is the order of the day. Knocking it around on the road and then committing aviation is not for me. Gives a new meaning to "Hangar Rash". Nev

Beautiful machine

 

I can afford to buy one, my new shed was built to house one,

 

but I will wait a year or two to see how they perform.

 

Plus I am afraid to tell my partner about my desire to own one.

 

Can't see it happening but in the future they recon the price of the icon will drop.

 

Pigs might fly as well.

It has been a long wait for this iconic aircraft. How long before someone Down Under will buy one?

 

 

[facthunter]

Don't know about the review. Just a lot of carry on. Seems a capable aircraft and probably comfortable. AoA meter, good idea, but someone will try to beat it no doubt.. A small mooring outboard? electric motor might be handy to stop it blowing away when the donk is shut down. Nev

Pusher prop and open windows, calls for careful stowage of anything loose

 

But what a fun machine but way out of my budget
