Here is the newest Queen of Amphibs for the pilots of EPOCH Passage Aviation to dream about...

From airliners.net...

She made her maiden flight on Christmas Eve.

Per Wikipedia...

Capacity: 50 passengers

Length: 36.9 m (121 ft 1 in)

Wingspan: 38.8 m (127 ft 4 in)

Height: 12.1 m (39 ft 8 in)

Max takeoff weight: 53,500 kg (117,947 lb)

Powerplant: 4 × WJ-6 turboprops, 3,805 kW (5,103 hp) each

Propellers: 6-bladed constant speed propellers

Maximum speed: 570 km/h (354 mph; 308 kn)

Range: 5,500 km (3,418 mi; 2,970 nmi)

Service ceiling: 10,500 m (34,400 ft)

"17 orders had been received from Chinese customers before the flight.[12] Target markets also include export sales, with island countries such as New Zealand and Malaysia having expressed an interest."

What a behemoth!

Not sure about those Chinese turboprops but it would be fun if someone like HydroZ did an X-P version anyhow. Then perhaps we could retrofit with good ol' R-1830 Twin Wasps and really roll some coal over the IP.

Nice find Rocky. Thanks.

Should be able to haul some salmon to Ketchikan in that rig for sure!

Totally agree with BC, some big old radial engines would be a treat in my book. The more the merrier!

Have you forgotten?

@RocLobster: No, didn't forget about it and have even flown it a bit but without a 3D cockpit it goes to the back of the line. Good craft nonetheless, although could you imagine just for a minute trying to use that effectively around EPA's area of ops? Whew!

When I saw the original post I didn't reply, because it would have merely been "No.  Just no."  Plus, it's as ugly as a mud fence.   

sticky, you have a way with words.

Same with me bc, no 3D pit no download unless really wanted for some adventure.
