I'm just hopeful that since it's a Canadian company with a Canadian website that their prices are Canadian.

So who is going to buy one and report back in a few months / years, once built and flying??

This is an aircraft I would like to hear more about!

If/when I talk my wife into letting me I will be building one. It's not in the cards for another year or 2 for sure.

You're probably right. I just wanted to quote you when you said not to, hahaha!

EDIT: double post!

Just stirring the pot eh? Haha. Good one though.

Interesting company indeed...

1) If anyone calls them, can you ask about quick build options? Their website makes no mention of build times either.

2) How complete are their kits?

Like others here have mentioned the competing ACA Scout and the Bearhawk Patrol sure are sweet planes.

The kits come with everything except what you can buy of the shelves. But they will include those items as well if you would like.
He days he doesn't give times as hrs vary from person to person. Typical time is about a year.

@ A1Skinner

Any idea of cabin width on some of these planes?
As I get increasingly fatter, it seems it's a tight squeeze sometimes.

The Aviat Husky A1B for example has a cabin width of 27 inches

Bearhawk Patrol: 32 inches ( http://bearhawkaircraft.com/Patrol/Pspecs.php )

ACA Scout: 30 inches

The Epic 3000 is basically a scout fuselage. So I'd say it's 30". I know a few big guys that really like the room in them.
You can also get dual swing up doors with the seaplane kit. Fly with both open if you'd like.

Here is another interesting plane called the North Star out of Canada. I saw a couple used ones for sale recently. Their website is very interesting. The owner talks a lot about the Cub design and how his company has improved many of the Cub's features. They also have a kit for what is essentially a Dehaviland Beaver and the offer it with a Russian MP14 radial.
