It's been a long road, but Icon announced in June that its A5 light sport amphibian met all FAA requirements and the company was ready to start serial production. The first customer delivery was scheduled to take place at EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh, with about 60 more deliveries expected within the next 12 months. The all-composite A5 offers a spin-resistant design, a cockpit inspired by luxury automobile styling, and folding wings to make it easy to transport by trailer or store in a garage. It's powered by a Rotax 912iS and sells for up to $250,000. The company first introduced its design in 2006.
