$140,000 Risen Is One Of The Fastest Airplanes In Its Class

[@notpoliticallycorrect]

I love the fact that Risen has a stall speed with flaps down at 35 mph!

[@worldview2134]

Range is also mind blowing

[@kashsantos12]

There are optional long range tanks. They can swap out the 2 x 43 litres for 2 x 100 litres. Then its good for well over 4000 km. Over 5000 km is possible if you trim it right back. With the 915 turbo engine it can haul the big tanks no problem and way more than 66lbs of payload. But with 912 its a bit of a struggle to take off fully loaded. When its trimmed right back it sips just 6 litres per hour. so plan on over 30 hours of flight time. Ireland to USA is possible in about 27 hours.

[@nighthawk0077]

Sounds good in theory and as a selling point, but not sure how practical that will be in the real world outside of setting distance records for marketing purposes. I think most owners will use it for short duration flights under 3 hrs, however it can still cover 500miles.

I love the low speed takeoff and landing on a grass strip and the high speed economical cruise. That's the holy grail. Take off from your rural property (no hangar fees or driving to and from the airport) and fly anywhere in the world. If it was amphibious, it'd be a Rutan Skigull.

Dear MojoGrip; Kind greetings from Canada! You do far better than excellent, very thorough, very professional and an always interesting introduction to such a wide variety of aircraft. You must spend a tremendous amount of time in preparing your KZbin videos. Thank you!

Awesome. I live in Switzerland and never once heard of this aircraft. I must be crazy.

[@azcoyote007]

@mojogrip Emailed them about price you have listed. Not even close. Base is $193,000. Typical $232,000. Top tier is $256,000. EAB is only path right now requiring travel to Italy for two 2 week build sessions. Then you have to get it to the USA. It's a dream aircraft though. Low stall, insane cruise. When the LSA rules change it may be a top contender.

[@kipgiles8854]

One of the most beautiful planes I’ve ever seen!

[@marklandry2509]

Here’s a reply I received from the factory in Italy... apparently your video arrows quite a bit of interest! Thank you for your message. A well equipped FG would cost €150K + €5K shipping to US. We received this weekend over 100 requests for RISEN. It seems that the aviation community embraces our aircraft and that Mike of MojoGrip has a big audience! Attached you find our pricelist, it's Excel. Just put an 'x' to add or remove options and it will update final price at the bottom. The Risen is the RG model. Starting at €159K, but typical €190K (912ULS), €200K (912iS) and €210 (914T) depending options. The Siren is the FG model at starts at €120K with more basic avionics, typical full spec Siren is about €150K (912ULS) Also attached you find our brochure with some more info and the performance data on the last page. We do not have a US representative at this stage. Our intention is to operate a builder assist facility in US. Currently, US buyers order the aircraft directly from us her in Italy. The Risen is an EAB (Experimental Amateur Built) aircraft and requires you to come to Italy a minimum of 2 times 2 weeks. We are in the North of Italy, close to Como lake, close to Lugano (Switzerland) and places like Verona, Venice and Firenze are just a couple of hours driving away. So it's great to bring the whole family. Also Monaco, Cannes and Nice in France are really close. So far the US pilots that participated in our built program have been delighted about the experience. No special skills are required for building your aircraft and you will have absolutely the same build quality as a factory built RISEN. This week we took another order from Germany, RISEN #22 Please note that same company has produced over 175 gliders of type: Alisport Electro, a self-launch electro glider. People choose RISEN because they are attracted to the sleek appearance, the impressive V-tail and the very wide and comfy cabin. Others are mainly attracted to the speed envelope and about 20% of the people order the aircraft with the optional ferry tanks (€4500). These people want to travel to place they could not reach with other aircraft models, at least not in same category. Just like Alberto crossed from Cabo Verde direct to Brazil, others want to fly to Australia or even a trip around the world. Consider RISEN as your mini private jet, at a fraction of the cost and even a 400 yard grass strip is sufficient to get you in and out. Other remarkable point is that some of our customers did not hold yet at pilot license and they trained on the RISEN, just to demonstrate how easy the aircraft flies. The V-tail mixer (pedals and stick mixer) is very well balanced, and as a pilot it's impossible to tell that you are flying a V-tail. No difference in feel and control whatsoever. The visibility is another great thing, just wow. And what about getting too hot inside? During taxi you can leave the electric canopy slightly open. The prop wash entering the cabin keeps you cool, and once in the air, we have powerful vents connected to Naca scoops. On very hot days you can put a suction cup rail with a overhead curtain to protect you from direct sun. But probably the most remarkable feature of the RISEN is its safety. With a glide ratio of 1:23 you basically have a glider when there is a engine failure or you run out of fuel. For example, if you fly in France above 6000ft, you always get to land to an airport or strip. In some regions in France, 4500ft is enough to always land on an airfield. This is simply amazing. On top of that we have the ballistic chute, a roll bar behind the cockpit and a lateral roll bar around the cockpit, just below the canopy line. The aircraft is 100% full carbon and tested up to 11G ultimate load at 1322lbs MTOW. We have dual spars for wing stability at high speed, fuel tanks are positioned between those spars, so very well protected too. All hinges (aileron, ruddervators) are triple and oversized. If there would be one reason to choose RISEN, it definitely should be its safety! The other big question.... Do we have a 915iS? Yes we do and of course it has been already ordered by a US pilot. However, the aircraft is still being built (as EAB) and has not flown yet. So we cannot commit yet to a fixed delivery scheme. Order process: Slots can be reserved for €5K. When kit is ready, we ask a 25% deposit. Then you come to Italy to assembly the kit, install controls, attach and align wings, .... Next deposit is 40% when you come over 2nd time for engine installation, avionics, landing gear system, interior assembly. As you can see, you do not pre-finance the aircraft. We always have the aircraft more advanced than the actual payments. This way we have no debts towards our customers. By the way, Porto Aviation Group is totally debt-free and we want to keep it that way! About delivery time: We will start in September the built of #20, October #21 and November #22. It takes typical 6 months from start to finish. Next available slot is #23 with a start in January 2021. Hope this clarifies a bit.

Don't apologize for "being critical"! That's a big mistake and worthy of clarification. There's a four-fold difference between the two so it's definitely good to ask.

Always thought the v-tail makes a lot of sense for these types of aircraft - the tail-planes of a conventional tri-tail (?) are in the wake of the wings which the v-tail's planes avoid, so theoretically it should be both less draggy and more stable and controllable, at least outside of extreme acrobatics/AoA (which isn't what small passenger aircraft are about)..

There is a video in august 2020 somewhere in Florida. They've just got a first Risen there.

5000km range is my dream way of life ,get some snacks, autopilot, sleep , freedom , toilet pants , night vision, internet, space for stretch your legs and i can seat for 48 hours :) ahh if possible some hot pizza, "very important ,some emergency inflatable pods, so the aircraft do not sink and a small life raft, in case we need to land in the middle of ocean "

Like your videos. Is that a Colyaer sitting on the field?

Cruising fuel economy when converting to miles and gallons is 67 mpg. That's better than my Prius! I don't fly but I'd love to get a pilot's license and fly this! It's an attractive aircraft and also low operating cost with a huge range for a small plane.

Any chances for an electric version? This is a beauty!

[@kevina407]

Adi Avram Zonga yeah if you like flying for an hour.

Glider version?

[@spinazzola15]

Is this in Pennsylvania

[@thisismagacountry1318]

Hey Mike, great review. Do you think this airframe would be a perfect match for that new lightweight turbine engine you reviewed?

[@laurogarza4953]

Amazing!

Vaporware I assume since I cannot find any content about this airplane in years and their website does not mention price or where to buy one
