We are a company that has restored to flight 19 Albatrosses - more than any private company in the world. We have the only Albatross that has jet skis that are interchangeable with the auxiliary fuel tanks. This looks great. Best of luck to you on it. However, nowadays it costs $500,000 - 1 million to restore to flight a regular Albatross. I don't even want to THINK about what this would cost! LOL
@WIAPilot My hat's off to the real Albatross. This was for fun although the simulator, X-Plane, requires that you to assemble something that would fly, in theory. Cartoons cost less than hardware and nothing ever leaks, breaks or wears out. That's compelling. Glad you liked the video. No one has asked to build one.

Awesome. I love the shadow and reflection on the water when it comes in for a landing.

The plane is very ingenious. You have the perfect voice and music for documentaries.

Yes, but not likely to be carried forward or to be built.
