Beautififul Plane, I am thinking about moving to Tonga in the Sounth Pacific and thinking one of these would be great for Island hopping. Nice wrap job its beautiful. Did you buy this new and put it together or used? Where should I look to purchase?
Thank you. I purchased the plane already built. I then proceeded to paint and wrap it myself, as well as rebuild the dash. I have also since upgraded the engine. Depending on your timeline, this plane may be for sale toward the end of this year, as I am planning to move overseas myself and am not sure if it's feasible to dismantle and ship overseas. Otherwise, Facebook Marketplace, Barnstormers or Facebook Buy/Sell groups for experimental aircraft would be the best places to search.
Don't the wings come off pretty easy? I was thinking about buying here and putting it in a shipping container. How much will you be asking for yours?@@CiscoMedia76
@@davidmalton yes the wings come off pretty easily. That's not the question for me. It's more about 1) Cost of shipping, export/import fees and 2) Certification and legalization in the Philippines.
Hey bud. Nice plane. My name is Javier out of Orlando. I just got one myself and took the hull off to paint it but don't now what to use. I don't want to use gell coat because its heavier. What did you use on your plane?
Unfortunately I don't have good news for you. No insurance company will write a policy for an experimental amphibious aircraft. Not even a liability only policy. The only ones that I have seen that are insurable are the SeaRey's and Icons. Avemco may be an option later on down the road, since they require at least 150hrs in the plane to be insured.
Very nice- thanks for sharing! Sir, do you give rides to folks from the Westside? :)
Due to the liability involved, I cannot. I only take up family or close friends.
Understood- thank you, Sir@@CiscoMedia76

Thanks. I did not paint it. I wrapped the sides of the hull and left the bottom untouched.
Im looking to buy a buccaneer 2. please tell me you have insurance and where did you get it. thanks

I have a policy on my Experimental SeaRey through State National (BWI). Liability only $1500
