Aside from the Flarecraft L-325 stability problems it was reported that the vertical tail was not stiff enough, causing the whole tail to "wiggle" in flight, requiring rudder input. Furthermore the fuel tanks were not located near the cg, causing problems at an almost empty tank.
Only a few \Flarecraft L-325 have been sold, because problems arose with the crafts stability. Apparently Flarecraft didn't copy the Airfisch 3 accurately enough.
Apparently Flarecraft still continues to market the L-325, even though some serious problems have occured and craft even crashed.
The Flarecraft L-325 was the first commercially available WIG vehicle. It is a further development of the L-324 prototype. The main differences are that the L-324 carries one pilot and three passengers, while the L-325 can accomodate four passengers and the L325 has a more powerful engine, furthermore the L-325 is equipped with a small water jet for harbour manoeuvring (Yamaha 47kW).
There were plans to produce about 5 vehicles per month.
This Connecticut based firm is headed by Bill Russell who has aquired the rights from Fischer Flugmechanik to distribute the Airfish 3 in the USA. While the Airfish 3 was there for demonstration purposes, the Flarecraft 370 was developed which was a copy of the Airfish. For this craft there is no licence agreement with either FF or RFB. Later the L-325 was developed, which is essentially a scaled up Airfish.
Flarecraft is not a US concept but it is stolen from German inventor of Airfish technology, Hanno Fischer (AFD GmbH). Especially this craft has ordered as Airfish-3 in Germany and US company in background has take advantage from the AFD GmbH designs and design illegally a update version but the German has suit them and lead the company in bankrupty. Also Flarecraft was unstable because they have violate the specifications in the new version.
i can make it work, just by using a simple system to make it stable and safe!
