Just caught a glimpse of it on the news, one of those Icon planes half submerged off Sanibel island in SW Florida. Another plane involved. Don't think anyone is hurt.
 
The plane sank a whole island? ;) ;) ;)

Yup took the whole island out! But I suspect it was the N. Koreans myself...

Imagine if the Icon wasn’t light sport. It could sink all of Florida, not just Sanibel.

Cheers
 
There was another post about it

Getting quite the reputation, they are.

Sadly it's not the planes fault, just who they are marketed to (low to zero flight time people with zero backcountry or seaplane time) and how they are marketed as a low altitude buzzing around toy, plus the lack of extensive training, this shouldn't be a weekend course and go fly type of arrangement.

Like I said in the other thread, if they were marketed like cirrus, and had the same type of indepth training, we wouldn't see these incidents.
