It is cool

I have seen this on the beriev.ru website for a while, and read that it was now FAA certified. It is a cool plane, unfortunately, very limited payload. The numbers given are off by 150 pounds, incidentally.
They include the pilot in the weight of the airplane, thus detracting from useful load. I think the fuel flow settings are EXTREMELY optimistic, given that they are the same engines we use (IO-360's).
Never the less, it would be a VERY COOL plane to own. The engines are set very close to the fuselage, so asymetric thrust should be minimized.

And, unlike most float planes, this is certified to sea state 2.

Did anyone see this at OSH??
