This is a nice airplane, with some excellent/simple features. This is an insightful company finding a good way to help bring sport aviation to a larger audience of people. I hope that they continue to develop and fix the issues they are working through, all of the great manufacturers have!

Citation Mustang Pilot If this was my channel Jason Holbrook's comments would be deleted for not constructively contributing to the conversation. Pilot error in all three of the only crashes of the Icon A5. Nothing wrong with the plane or it's design. It's safer than most planes on the market today. If you don't have the experience to hot dog a plane you shouldn't do it, and if you don't know where you are you shouldn't be flying low in the mountains. The planes designer, second A5 accident, thought he was flying into a different canyon that dipped into a lake. Not the planes fault the pilot didn't check his location before heading into a canyon. The other two accidents were the pilots hot dogging at low altitude with minimal time in type aircraft. Hence the saying; "There are Bold Pilot and Old Pilots, but there a few Old Bold pilots"! You should know your aircraft and facts before you say the Icon A5 is a bad design. Best Wishes n Blessings.

^ This. So far the Icon A5 has no reported failures, and the only incidents with it have been due to pilot error. It's a nice plane, and personally I hope to fly one one day. Anywho - Don't make a argument if you don't have evidence to back it up - and even though I have yet to touch the sky, my numerous crashes and hours in both simplistic Video games and fully-fledged flight sims have cemented this in my mind - If you don't think before doing something possibly fatal, you're an idiot.

Microsoft's new flight sim is absolutely amazing for sight seeing. I just flew the Icon A5(it can land on water!) out of Seattle WA. 96 miles south to Mt. St. Helens! The volcano looked incredible as i was coming in from 11,000 ft . Also, there are a couple huge lakes near the mountain, and so I landed the Icon on the one which is on the north side. After the landing I was just floating while enjoying a JAW DROPPING view of Mt. St. Helens from that lake!! I was blown away by that experience. I can't believe how great everything looked and that It was even possible to do that!!!!!! I HIGHLY recommend that flight.

Citation Mustang Pilot just got back from flying it over the weekend and I must say it was really awesome! We flew it out from Vacaville and headed over to lake Berryessa where we did tight turns, stalls, and a bunch of splash and go' son the water, it was an amazing experience. I really enjoyed how smooth and easy the plane was to fly, even did a stall myself, even at low speeds you seem to be able to do anything and it was flat out awesome! Really hope to do it again.

So many people think these A5’s are not safe, I think they are very safe if you fly it normal. I heard that pitcher that died said that the A5 feels like your in a fighter jet. Of course its not even close but that goes to show how he operated it, doing very crazy moves in it. I personally love the plane, just not the price. At the price they want you should be able to choose the best engine possible, Like the 912IS for no additional charge.
