Freedom Of Flying Just Got Better | SeaMax Light Sport Seaplane

SeaMax light sport seaplane reminds me of another aircraft we featured few years ago. The Super Petrel amphibious biplane. If you recall, that airplane had a very similar design and just about every feature. Although I think the SeaMax has a better and more modern interior. SeaMax also is equipped with the Garmin avionics while the Petrel was equipped with Dynon.

Consider the SeaMax a STOL airplane too. This amphibious plane will take off and land within 500 feet. Also capable of landing on both land and water.

SeaMax also has some cool features, like a foldable tail, and the wings are removable. This makes for easier storage and towing.

Who is this aircraft for? well I think for the more relaxed pilot who wants to grab a bite here and there. It is a capable cross country aircraft as it will stay flying for 6 hours if you can take it. Also it uses a small Rotax 912 engine which powers you to 80-100 miles per hour in cruise.

SeaMax Specs:
Engine: Rotax 912
Speed: 115 mph
Useful load: 537 lbs
Range: 630 miles
Price: $170,000

I love seeing your passion for aviation.

Definitely may favourite available sea plane. The Airmax Seamax is an awesome flyer. It will land safely on water with the wheels down, so safer than most. Good to know the pricing, and that its wings can now be removed for transport.

I enjoy watching your videos, they're informative. However I would like more information on flight deck rate of climb and flight distance.

I have one for sale with some cool additional features that this one doesn’t have. Very fun plane and very usable - it’s not a toy at all.

Oh yeah the highly over priced Icon's sweeter and more economical younger brother. Would like to have one someday, but still want to build a Sling TSI for a trip flyer then this for weekend fishing trips 😁

Love your vids Mike. Very concise and super informative. Thanks

[thisismagacountry]

Yes, but can it turn into a submarine like in the new Bond movie?

[hotdog]

Does it do a wheelie when you step out? It looked like the front wheel was floating.

[EdwardTilley]

Surprised to see an Icon equiv this cheap...

On the back of a 56" sailboat ⛵️ 😎 👌 perfect

@MojoGrip Do you know if AOPA would categorize the Sling 2 as an Experimental Aircraft or as a Light Sport? Reason I'M asking is because the down payment would be much less as an Experimental than as a LSA.

Mô hình phi cơ của bạn rất ấn tượng hay lắm cảm ơn chúc bạn sức khỏe và hạnh phúc.

With the cabin all closed up with no windows, do you just have to suffer with the heat in hotter locations or does this come with some kind of air conditioning or something?

[Bizones]

Thank you Ssooo much for this review.  Couldn't make it this year cause, I had Covid.

[AClark-gsgl]

I'd take one over an overly priced Icon anyday of the week! Just don't like the center stick only feature.

[mrmcclung]

Great Video Thanks,
Didn't Ventura come out with an
S-LSA (metal folding wing option) that has a little better mileage for quite a bit less ?
Or is this that much quieter in-flight ? It is pretty for 170-200+ .... it must have an additional luggage area for fishing poles... Lol

I still prefer old school instruments with the added electronic screens. Just how I learned things growing up.

So...where do you stow your fishing rods?

I'm 6'3", do you think I would fit?
