This is a reply to Ricardos suggestion in an other thread of a plane suitable for use in Norway.
In fact we have a amphibium developed here in Norway. The prototyp is finished and they are ready for production. They used many years on the prototype, and the project name therefore became  At Last or Omsider in norwegian. It is in fact a microlight, it is not more than 495 kg. This is the limit here in Europe for amphibium. 450 kg for other microlights.
Have a look at the pics

Hi Knut,

Very nice looking aircraft...with great scenery...almost too perfect..LOL

The aircraft reminds me of a shark....it has shark features...if that makes sense. I hope it is marketed as well as it looks and it will be a winner for sure. In Australia an ultralight amphibian can go to just over 600kg....so im sure it would sell in Australia if the price is right.

Which engine does it use?

regards Arthur

Beautiful aircraft! Nice concept also, curious about what apparently looks like a neutral airfoil on this type of bird?

What beautiful airplane Knut ! and  the scenery is  absolutely fantastic!
I like the enclosed  cabin (a must for those latitudes) also the way the canopy opens.
Can it land on ground also? or is a just water creature? Looks like a two seater

I mailed one of the constructors and gave him the link to this thread. He answered that those pics was from an early stage of the prototype and not the finished product. For instance there is no bracing strut at all on the final prototype.
I'll try to get some update pics and specification. The engine will be HKS 700, but the testflights was done with R462. It is a two seat in tandem and there is two wheels in tandem too on the prototype.
