I have no "time" in that airplane, and I wouldn't want any. But I did sit in one once, and had the op to get in the air, but passed. Here's the thing. I don't view it as an airplane. It's a home built. This means it cannot be used for commercial purposes, as other "real" airplanes with airworthy certificates issued by the FAA.
I have absolutely no confidence in any home built or EAA aircraft. I can't speak for other professional commercial pilots, but that's how I view this airplane and any other EAA or home built. I am a commercially rated seaplane pilot and owned my own seaplane business. I started flying in 1966. I have 400 hours of seaplane time alone. That's 400 hours of "bush" flying in a Lake and a dozen hours in a Republic Seabee. I have no "float plane" time at all. A "Floatplane" is not a Seaplane. Most think they are.
The fact that, after the test hours are flown off, homebuilts have a better safety record than certified airplanes is an awkward fact that you choose to ignore. They are not allowed to carry passengers during the test period, so you needn't worry about that either.
Well, you will be pleased to know that the Seawind is now, or shortly will be, an FAA certified "real airplane". I assume that will change your attitude and you will then be happy to fly it. You might even buy a model of it.
I can't wait to hear your opinion of the newly FAA certified Light Sport Aircraft, and (god help us) the Sport Pilot rating.
