Flynano..

I don't know which scares me more, the prop or the seat. (Looks easy to fall out of) The article doesn't say but these are made for take off from water. (and maybe snow )

Something tells me this is a marketing stunt or some such thing. The website here is just stills and the same craft in different colours. Youtube is just a video of website stills with some music. Delivery in the 3rd quarter and no interviews, no video of it flying, no marketing push, no shots of production, lots of nothing really. My guess, some students doing a marketing project.

Found a video of it on facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=gro ... 0969058778 Like the recent "we have found an alien in the snow video", just enough shown to not really show that much. Still sceptical.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I did a few searches also. Couldn't find them listed at the Aero 2011 show.. The links in their own website don't work...

According to this article at EAA, it was at the Aero show. I'm still skeptical too though...

Interesting machine, but I'm worried it will appear in a hip-hop video, which will lead to a re-enactment of the pocket-bike and pimped-out quad craze, only in the air this time ... !
