    Thanks for the update. I heard that this aircraft had a bright future years ago and was wondering what happed to it. I love old flying boats . One of my favorites is the British Short Singapore III. It was a biplane with four engines in push pull configurations. Not as unusual as many might think.

    Well the Dornier Wal, Dornier 18 worked pretty well. As a small amphibian it would seem suitable for the search-and-rescue / air ambulance mission in remote regions with poor infrastructure.

    Kolbenmotoren besser noch Leichtgewichtdieselmotren währe das nicht auch eine Ausstattungsoption. Natürlich ginge dies auf die Flugleistung. Aber eine beträchtliche Senkung der Betriebs und Unterhalkosten währe denkbar.

    Im sure a few real rich guys will buy one as a ultimate toy but at 7 million apiece I doubt anybody will put one to work in a commercial capacity hauling just 12 passengers you could never pay for it.

    Serious competition for 7 million. Especially when the 19 seat DHC 6 Twin Otter exists for less

    A $7M plane that big has to sell to the cargo market. This plane can't carry enough to be competitive with Cessna Caravan, etc.

    what a money pit, I was in Vancouver 1986 and they were running around trying to take orders for this, then a test flight rolled it up in a ball landing with gear down in the water,,, 40 years and nothing to show,, where do I sign up?? disgraceful
