Retired University Astrophysics Professor, Professional Aerospace Engineer, and Seaplane Owner/Pilot: Absolutely best design on the market currently today! She definitely checks all the boxes! 1.) Rear Pusher Prop: better protected from spray erosion than any other design. 2.) Bi-wing Design: Far more lift and stability in a more compact area! 3.) Sponson Design: Stout and Short for Rugged Durability. 4.) Modern Glass Cockpit: No current aircraft should be without it! 5.) Robustly Constructed: seaplanes work harder than just about any other GA aircraft! Kudos on an Aviation Industry Benchmark!!!! Only thing missing is a 4 place version!

I have a design that is a conversion of a large jetski hull. Tandem articulated wings, Low CG mounted TC Subaru with spool drive to halfshafts to each counter rotating variable pitch prop. Jet pump on switched coupling (Mag) for maneuvering and initial launch run up. Differential propellers eliminates a vertical stab. Going Autonomous 1st. Once set, it can fly to a Sea rescue and "board" a passenger. Close canopy, pump out the bilge and find a rolling wave to launch from. Onboard FLIR can monitor the rescued and forward to USCG vital signs.

What a BEAUTIFUL aircraft. A work of art. And so COOOOL! So FUNCTIONAL! So FUN. DREAMING. 😊 CYQT 👍🇨🇦👍

[@willycplane]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@willycplane]

There are a few friends with Petrel's up in Canada! Maybe we can link you up with them and go for a ride?! If you ever make it to the States, let us know!

[@Sarge0311]

Beautiful plane look like a lot of fun to fly

[@willycplane]

It is a total blast!

[@gardnercongdon9104]

Looks like fun! Come fly that thing up to Maine for a lobster roll.

[@willycplane]

That sounds and would be amazing. I need to coordinate with you sometime and do that!!

[@shoalscreek]

I would like to join y’all please Gardner 😅

[@theaeronaut-channel]

Wonderful plane! I'd love to try it, but there are only a few in Europe at the moment

[@willycplane]

It really is a great and fun airplane to fly! I hope you get the chance. If you are ever in the States, I would be happy to take you up flying!

[@theaeronaut-channel]

@@willycplane thanks a lot! It looks impressive and looking at the various videos the handling seems excellent too! I may take you on your word! Happy to return the favor if you pass by Europe

Whats the price? If its close to A5 Id rather get icon.

[@willycplane]

This LS model is half the cost of an ICON with way more performance capability. Just no folding wing option. Is there any reason why you would choose ICON with its limiting capability?

[@willycplane]

I guess I didn't fully answer your question. The 912is LS model was 213k. The LS has sold out. They are now only making the XP variant, which has the 915is engine for 289k. Still almost 200k less than ICON and even more performance than the LS, which already beats ICON easily.

Super Petrel LS vs Icon A5

[@willycplane]

We can definitely try to do a video comparison on that. The Icon is a great plane, but the specs of the Petrel dominate in every performance category, even more so with the Super Petrel XP being produced now.

Beautiful aircraft

[@willycplane]

Thank you! It is a true joy to fly!
