Relisted due to non-payment. This is a very honest project with half the proceeds going to a very deserving charitable organization. My hope for this project is for it to ultimately take flight. Sadly, I simply don"t have the time to make that happen. This is a great opportunity for the experienced builder to have a very capable amphibious aircraft.

As complete a Taylor Coot amphibian project as you are likely to find anywhere. All documentation back to original purchase of plans with the exception of builders" logs - however this project was previously owned by an A&P and would likely still qualify for the 51% rule to help you achieve a repairman certificate. This is a rare opportunity to have a great head start on an aircraft and build at 1/10th the price of an Icon.
