I would like to see more kits of a real amphibian, preferably ones of a
weight and performance that would put them solidly in the new light sport
aircraft. Now for the real kicker; one that does not use the "overpriced"
Rotax. (plus I don't like Rotax!) g

I know! I'll just design and build one! (I wish/hope)

A couple of guys on our airport just purchased Mermaids which I think
are Czech built. They are beautiful, mostly built, but expensive and
are light sport aircraft eligible. Engine used is optional.
