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.

Since I first heard of them about 20 years ago I fantasized about having one😅

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.

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

That looks faster than 160kts

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.

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
