If you are new to ultralight or lightsport
aviation, then you are probably doing some research to find
out about something that you have read or heard about,
either in print or on the web.
In most cases you are looking for something that fits into
what is called a "niche market." Which means you are looking
for something to fill a special need, that most "BIG
manufacturers", don't have the time or inclination to bother
with.This leaves the door wide open
for entrepreneurs like Paul Mather of M-Squared Inc.
Aircraft, to walk in and supply you with just what you are
looking for!
This year at Airventure 2010 Paul was at the show displaying
and flying his line of M-Squared Inc. aircraft, and while he
didn't have anything new at the show, his company was in the
process of bringing something out to fit one of those "niche
markets". |

That something is a certified float plane,
the Breese II, for the LSA market, with the first three
planes to be delivered to customers the end of September
2010. The certified float plane version of the
M-Squared Inc. Breese II will be available with the Full
Lotus Floats, but shortly after that Paul anticipates
certification of the KeyWest floats as well.
While the Breese II has been flying on
floats for a number of years as an experimental aircraft
these three aircraft will be the first certified to meet the
ASTM standard for light sport aircraft.
Paul who have been involved with float
planes since the mid 70's, has moved forward with
the certification because of the high demand for a ready to
fly, two place float plane, that can be used for higher in
training as well as the tourist sightseeing style of
environments. M-Squared Inc. currently offers both fresh
water and a salt water mounts, with the major difference
being the addition of stainless steel components.
The first three planes are powered by the
Rotax 582, and are straight float planes with no retract
system. Paul reports that equipped this way the plane has a
climb rate of about 650 feet per minute and uses between 4
and 6 gallons of fuel per hour.
Working out of the Birmingham office,
M-Squared Inc. is an authorized DAR for amateur built
experimental, experimental lightsport aircraft and certified
light sport. Paul indicates he currently covers Alabama,
Mississippi and north Florida doing certification on all
types of experimental aircraft, from Lancairs and RV's right
down Kolb style aircraft.
