I quite fancy one of these on the deck of my yacht.

1000 mile range; takes off on land, water or snow; two persons; 135 knts cruising, 36mpg.

Nice way to get to the boat avoiding the traffic. Only €300k.

I wonder if they make left handed ones?

 

[emsworthy]

What makes me think they may end up going the same way as this project?

I want one, Oh just seen the price, maybe a bit pricey so it will have to be a Thurston Teal at €40,000

Or one of these to replace the tender.

For all its crude and scruffy appearance that is a remarkable piece of DIY engineering and a very successful well controlled first flight.

Hope that the starter is locked out when the wings are folded. An expensive noise if some idiot presses the button, if no lock!

Why stick at one?

Very short coupled tail dragger on a narrow stance lightweight and high perch main undercarriage. After the first couple of ground loops insurers will refuse to cover certain ground risks and may exclude taxiing and take off / landing incidents.

The Stemme s10 ran into exactly these problems and its coupling is probably 50% longer

With the claims they are making I'll wager they will be lucky to come in at under €500k once ( and if ) they ever get to production.

A little sceptical.

 

[CAPTAIN FANTASTIC]

Do they make a twin keel version?

It is a twin-keel version!

Me too. Not least because they don't have a certification team in place.

How about one of these ?

The coupling on that looks just fine to me, high stance or not!

But that is not a yacht.... it is a floating brick

How are you going to get it off?

 

[MissFitz]

Or....... range only 300NM & speed 105kt but also does the land & water thing, MUCH cooler, in production & less than half the price.
