Planning on doing MES rating in one of these. Very nice machine!

[@stephen5147]

Excellent video. Thanks.

[@piedmont9287]

Dan if I ever get some money I’m going to buy you one of these airplanes. I can tell you love it that much. Sadly for the both of us I’m a truck driver at the moment. I do enjoy your videos though. Thanks

Dan can you tell me what the old grey plane by the hanger is sitting in front of the Shorts Sherpa 330? Looks like a Convair, but not sure.

[@johngriffiths118]

Bit late , but is it a Consolidated Privateer ?

[@BigWheelHawaii]

Great Presentation,,, 'Job Well Done,,,,

[@urukpaone4790]

this's cool, but why not putting the engines at the front sides of the wings ? and protect the cockpit ?

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

Because it was conceived to be a photo platform. No props or canopy in the way.

[@urukpaone4790]

okay nice one

[@stefanritscher7868]

Also in an open cockpit a matter of noise and nuisance

[@AG-qi9xl]

It has a canopy option now

[@bipolatelly9806]

urukpa one because then it would be something else.

Nice video, Dan, I'm a huge fan of that plane. Of course, COST is why i don't own one... twin-engine, experimental, (homebuilt) tail-dragger, kit --- nope, none of those perceived drawbacks concern me. I can't help but wonder why you would assume that your viewers don't know what having a "homebuilt" (a.k.a. "experimental") means in terms of licensing? LSA has not been around that long.... prior to LSA, every homebuilt out there was a real airplane (according to the FAA) and we all had to build it ourselves and we had to have a "real" pilots license...

Wow, is this my favourite 3 axis, UL? Pity the bulk on the price is the expensive Rotax engines, Rotax really do bar many people from flying ;(

[@beaulong3270]

How much is this model?

[@danruleman7038]

Around $150,000 depending on the avionics package assuming you build it. Add $50,000 if you want floats. That being said I have flown many different airplanes and the AirCam experience seems to be unlike any other in aviation

[@ogwarhawk7131]

A company should start a production line so you can buy or build one if you like.

[@ultralightnews]

You can BUY and build an Aircam. The Ultralight Flyer

I learned on a Motorcycle that open pit isn't the way to go. At 60 mph's that bud that's hitting your face is doing that speed. What if it was a bird?!

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

Hence the windshield or canopy.

[@TheMonkeyrock77]

I wonder how a miniature engine would work on an Ultralite.

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

TheMonkeyrock77 Depends on the power and durability. An ultralight needs a minimum of about 50 hp for small one. 75+ is normal. The next issue is how many hours can the tiny engine be at 80% to 90% power. Next issue and this is the biggest one. Displacement.... The higher the altitude the thinner the ar. And what that means is it needs more volume of air to make the same power. So even though a Zenoah or some other engine may make 50hp on the ground. Once you hit 3 or 4 thousand feet it will only get enough air to make 25% or 50% power. And it will be highly stressed doing it. In the bigger piston planes you will see up to 550 cubic inches only making 300hp. As a general rule the less hp per cubic inch the longer lived the engine is. One cool option would be a turbo jet. They actually do decent in applications like that. Sadly they are pricey and fuel economy is crap. Plus I do not believe they are legal to fly, but not sure.

[@TheMonkeyrock77]

I was thinking about those Mini V-8 Engines that are being played with. As soon as I saw one the Ultralite came to mind right away.
