Ok, you Air Cam experts:

Is there any option for an enclosed canopy or covering to protect for unexpected rain.... and an option for a heater?

There are a couple of very clever heater installs out there, ducting warm air from the engines to the cockpit. I have a picture of one such set up; I'll see if I can dig it up.

As for a canopy...this is the best one I've seen...

...but being a permanent addition, it defeats at least half the point of the AirCam, in my view. I think something like a quickly-deployable fabric cover would be much more in the spirit of the airplane. We're just starting to brainstorm on this concept with a view toward marketing a cover kit, if we can come up with something slick enough. The other half of "we" is a very, very clever guy.

I would like to build the amphib version with the 912s engines and the reversing prop. That reversing prop is the cat's meow on the water. Spin that puppy on a dime, just like in a boat. Stop, back up etc....

The removable canopy idea would be great also for winter / rain. Makes docking a snap.

Wow. I love these planes. I can't tell how much it costs?

I recently met a gentleman who is putting together a business plan to certify AirCam and use it in sight-seeing business in beach resort areas (on floats), much like parasailing is being done now. On the surface, it sounds like a pretty good idea. What do you think?

If he does it give me his name and number, I want to work there.
