Just received an interesting communication from long-time SEAWINGS correspondent Dave Fletcher (a.k.a. 'The Volmer Guy'). He owns his own Volmer amphibian that is featured in the walk-round section of the SEAWINGS main site, so knows a good thing when he see's it! It reads: "I saw this new production Amphibian, Gweduck c/n 001 at the EAA Arlington Fly-in and air show. It looks like a Widgeon from a distance, but close up it has a fibreglass hull and opposite-handed Lycoming engines. Sorry about the quality of the photo, but it was dusk at the time".
What a 'looker'....! I don't know anymore about it other than what you have just read but if these are in series production I would love to know more about them. Any info 'out there' that anyone can send in, to the usual e-mail address?
I wonder how it handles compared to the original? As ever, thanks Dave.
Regards, SEAWINGS

Just found this post. Don't know if anyone will read this but here it goes.
The aircraft is a fiberglass "copy" of the Widgeon. "Copy" really isn't the right word for it but i'm no scholar.
Look up gweduck.com to find more info about this really great aircraft. I won't be a production aircraft but a homebuilt.
