Dont know if its been talked about since i cant search this part of the forum,but has anyone had any experience with this plane?Im just now really getting into aviation.im starting school in a few months to be an AMT,and got turned on to the whole sportsman pilot thing.
http://www.iconaircraft.com/ssp_director/albums/album-1/lg/fishing.jpg http://www.iconaircraft.com/index.html pretty cool plane,and pretty cheap i guess considering the prices ive seen used sportsman planes go for.ill probably never be able to afford something like that,but thought it was pretty cool how user friendly theyve made it |

It looks like a really nice option for what it is. The performance specs are impressive, though I think it's still being flight tested and they don't know exactly what the actual specs are.
The amphibious capability is sweet. I'm still holding out for something I can exercise my instrument ticket with... [ETA: That photo looks shopped...] |

It looks great, but the only flying example is a seaplane only, so specs with a retractable gear system fitted are unknown. They have a mock-up on wheels.
With Vern Raburn as director, I'm sure it will meet it's target specs and be delivered on time and on budget.
