Hi I just spent 25 of my hard earned British pounds on this really nice looking aircraft after seeing ijay's thread and this is what I think of it...

First as nearly always with FCS the textures and modeling are nice, nothing to complain about at all, the VC is fully clickable and also very nice with mixtures of digital and analogue Gauges, see here...

However there are a few issues, when it comes to actually landing on water and floating your sitting that low that you get a blue bar in the vc which I presume is the water line as shown in this pic...
5245
Also the sound is pretty bad personally I think it sounds like one of those Flymo lawn mowers. The FDE is quite good it has some funny behaviour like wondering trim when you drop the flaps and go below a certain airspeed, so you have to watch what your doing on landing. All in all I think its a pretty decent little aircraft apart from the above things I have mentioned, but is it worth £25 I personally don't think so, but don't let me stop you if you do fancy this quirky little amphib! Just thought I'd let you know what I thought of it because there are next to no reviews of this particular aircraft!
