    Pushers...way to go ?

    The FAA certified and USA sold Russian BE 103 amphib https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beriev_Be-103 Was an interesting design, but not a pusher! A lighter CF copy of it made elsewhere would be a great amphib. I flew in one years ago at SnF.

    To what out-of-production aircraft would you buy the rights, if you wanted to start a 'kit-plane' company?

    To what out-of-production aircraft would you buy the rights, if you wanted to start a 'kit-plane' company?

    “A Corvette LS3 engine with a 3-blade MT Propeller being installed in 1947 Republic Seabee in Los Lunas, New Mexico.”

    I believe that installation is Canadian STCd. It’s been written up in all the aviation press

    Tail cracks are pretty common. I recall plenty of Cessnas had ADs to inspect and fix them. Seems not enough attention is being paid to those structural connections?
