Whatever happened with that plane ? Did the really stupid marketing video kill it?
Did some college educated video producer use the word product?
I kept looking for those great flying directly over your shots and beautiful three-quarter forward shots with the bank and there wasn’t anything just annoying flying away from me a long ways in the distance shots
They lack a market and the aircraft isn't really good, in my opinion. Their prototype crashed in an accident mainly based on neglect (the companies "contracted" flight instructor and flight school owner did not know about glassy water landings and on first encounter crashed the aircraft. Luckily, no persons injured.). Serial number two or three was overturned by waves while beaching the aircraft.
I have looked into this aircraft a little bit more intense during my master thesis work on the optimisation of flying boat hulls. They are not particular good in hydrodynamics and the engineer told me they had ballparked the design and iterated it once. Their "test pilot" had no experience in flying boats, just a seaplane rating, he gained on floats (so 8 hours float experience).
In Welzow, I found the forward hinged canopy not particular good for handling. Also, on my Lake I have seen my prop moving down 1,6 inches on a hard landing. I would not want to be seated with my head so close to the prop. Also, with it's 175,5 kg payload, it's not really useful.
Anyway, in 2020 the company filed for bankruptcy and apparently they have found a new investor.
