Re: Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group amazing icon

I saw it too and thought it was gorgeous.  I had the same serious questions about survivability of a gear down water landing as I have with the rest of the amphibs with clam shell canopies though as well as questions about the companies ability to deliver a plane with enough useful load to bring 2 people and fuel.  Worth following though.

I saw this plane at AOPA. My criticism of it was the dashboard. I hated the automotive-style dash. The design will look dated when automobiles move to new designs. There will also be no chance for upgrades. In fact I believe automobiles should move to aircraft-style multipurpose glass panels, but that is another story. The avionics problem is a big enough one that I would consider it a deal-breaker for me.

Folks, this may be old news to the list, but I think that this is one cool plane.

I can't afford this beautiful bird, so I'm hoping a few of the flying sages here will shoot it down...  and put me out of my misery.
What's the dirt on the Icon?
