Key Takeaways:

LSA Aero is introducing three Spanish aircraft designs from Colyaer (Martin 3, Gannet, and Freedom) to the American market, debuting at the 2005 Sebring Expo.
The Colyaer family includes a land plane (Martin 3), a boat hull seaplane (Gannet), and an amphibious seaplane (Freedom).
All models share key features such as wingspans over 40 feet, a glide ratio exceeding 20, and excellent visibility due to a high wing positioned aft of the cockpit.

Another design has made its way to American shores and will be available for examination at the 2005 Sebring Expo (see the event link to the left of your screen). LSA Aero, an importer based in Tanner, Alabama, is introducing the Spanish designs of Colyaer. The design has three family members, a land plane — the Martin 3; plus two seaplanes, one boat hull and one amphibian — the Gannet and the Freedom. All feature wingspans over 40 feet which provide a strong 20+ glide ratio. They also offer exceptional visibility with a high wing aft of the cockpit.
