Future of Glass Goose?

Michael or whoever you are - Kelly's boyfriend?
1 - Why don't you respond to emails showing that you are wrong?
I tried to handle this off the group - but no joy.
2- why don't you use your real name when you put bad info out?

Well you won't be visiting many docks with that design. Have you
checked to see if it's insurable?

I'll save you guys the trouble. I looked into buying one. It was a
great deal, and I was ready to write the check until I called the
insurance company. It was not insurable for hull at any price. There
was a reason for this, and to the owner's credit he was the one who
told me. Less than 40 were built, and half a dozen lost major
sections of the wing in flight.

What's your take on it? As someone considering a GG it's troubling to say
the least. Tom Scott hasn't responded to my e-mail inquiry yet.

Tom probably won't - his hanger is 50 ft. from mine. That guy Michael or
whoever is
talking about an occurrence that happened to a few SeaHawks ( I have one)
and the cause
was not anywhere close to the reasons he sited. Mine has 300 hrs and never
had a problem.
Some of our owners have installed struts between the wings - .
P.S. they can be insured - like the Lake and all amphibs, it's not cheap -
what is today?
For the money, 120 mph w/150hp, over 1000 mile range - land or water - you
figure it out.

Just out of curiosity, what was the cause?

Anyone who has been on the net long enough to recall the era of the
fish knows who I am, and why I don't post my last name anymore.

talking about an occurrence that happened to a few SeaHawks ( I have one)
and the cause was not anywhere close to the reasons he sited.

Really? What cause, exactly, did I cite? All I recall stating is
that portions of the wing were lost in flight. So were they or
weren't they?

Mine has 300 hrs and never had a problem.

How many hours did the ones that had the problem have?

Some of our owners have installed struts between the wings - .

And you believe this fixes/prevents the problem why? FEA? Long term
cycle tests? What IS the cause of the problem? I've heard a lot of
conjecture, and have not repeated any of it because none of it sounded
convincing.

P.S. they can be insured - like the Lake and all amphibs, it's not cheap -
what is today?

What company will write hull coverage? Name it, please. I was not
able to find one that would write hull, at any price. The Lake is
expensive to insure, but it can be insured for hull.
