Aviation hasn't really stopped developing outside the US, it's just that the US has restrictive rules on ultralight & sport aircraft classification that prevent most of those developments from coming here. Also, unlike Europe our airfields don't have all fuel types available.

Useless plane. C182 more practicable. And it’s not even aerobatic.

After hearing about the OceanGate sub implosion, I do not feel completely confident that carbon fibre is strong enough to use solely as a material for the spars. I'd feel more secure at high speeds and high G's if they were made of metal, but I understand that Risen is trying to minimize the aircrafts weight.

[@russellesimonetta9071]

With the turbo at 10.000 feet it would be fast at 75% power! Ohh , and another point! The speed improvement comes from the shorter wing span. But that is good from sea lever to about 8000 feet or so. The stock longer wing would increase climb performance but make it slower at cruise. Above 8k the climb would not only be better but speeds would be faster than the clipped wing!!! Remember the 10.000 ' ??? It would outrun the shorter wing!!!!

[@GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

I guess it depends on pilot preference. If a pilot plans to spend most flights at lower altitudes, the short-wing is better, whereas the long-wing is for those who don’t mind flying high.

[@RobbieKiama]

Why does the long wing give better speed at 10K altitude?

[@Captndarty]

@@RobbieKiama more lift so the plane flies flatter in the thinner, air with less induced drag. Exactly why airliners have long glider like wings.

[@tomwaltermayer2702]

Turbo essential for me. Live at 6000. + MSL. D/A for summer T/O often 9000 or more. LocL MEA is 13000. Often fly over Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico. 14500 min VFR sensible cruise.. Often go to FL200 or higher for weather. Very glad Senorr Porto did the 915 mods.. If you live in Kansas and think 8500 msl is a good altitude to cruise, get the version w/o the turbo. Wish I had the $ to get one of these tomorrow.

[@danielfr06]

Hello, Is it registered in USA? Is it an American ultra light? An American experimental ? Are you allowed by Italian civil aviation authority to fly it in Italy. Do you have a temporary permit to fly? What is the maximum take off weight and the empty weight ? Thank you.

[@andreacolomboairphotographer]

Yes.....it's registered in USA, Texas as Experimental if i rememver well. The plane was pilot by constructor with Italian registration linked to the company. You see the USA registration because is painted......Maximum weight 600 Kg empty weight 350 kg.....I don't know if i answer to all questions...

[@deanfowlkes]

If the MTOW is 600 kg, it would be considered an Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) in the US. To be considered an Ultralight in the US, the weight limit, fuel, and airspeed restrictions would be 115 kg, 18 liters and 101 km/hr. However, current LSA regulations do not allow for airspeeds in excess of 222 km/hr, retractable landing gear, nor props that are adjustable in flight.

[@PhilipFly11]

In Europe, the Risen complies with EASA regulations for Ultralight aircraft. In the USA, currently it would have to be registered as Experimental, however, it probably will comply with the new MOSAIC rules . . . . whenever they are finalised and brought into effect.

[@cjswa6473]

[@Spaniard022]

If trying to cross from Brasil to Europe, it may be (overall) longer but safer to fly from Joao Pessoa (most-eastern large airport) to Ascension Island (it is around 1240 nm, day 1), then from there to Liberia (860 nm, day 2), from Liberia to Canari Islands (1350 nm, day 3), then from there to Spain or even France (day 4). However, because of long stretches of ocean (Brasil to Ascension, and from Ascension to Liberia), I would do that only with some serious survival gear (raft, some emergency supplies etc) which would not really let me fly with someone but rather alone.

[@PatrickDuffy-u3s]

Only one problem. You have to rent a car when you get "there" wherever "there" is. This is a toy, not a real transportation method.

[@nighthawk0077]

[@calebetenedini]

Espetáculo como posso comprar

[@deanfowlkes]

⁠@@PatrickDuffy-u3s - That statement about this not being a real transportation method does not make any sense. If you currently use any type of airline, train, or boat to any destination that also has an airstrip, this is a perfectly viable option. You can’t reasonably fit your car on any of those methods of travel. This would be perfect for the US. Especially for big states like Texas where it is a minimum of 100 miles and a maximum of 750 miles between major cities without ever leaving the state of Texas.

[@PhilipFly11]

⁠@@PatrickDuffy-u3s As a matter of fact, Alberto Porto, the designer and manufacturer flew the Risen from Pavullo nel Frignano near Modena in the North of Italy across the Atlantic Ocean to Punta del Este in Uruguay . . . . and then Alberto flew the Risen all the way back from Uruguay to Italy. That was about 6,000 nautical miles each way, ie a total of 12,000 nautical miles, without any squawks. And you think that the Risen is a toy? It was never intended to carry you, your spouse, 6 children, 2 dogs and a week’s camping gear across the USA. It was designed to extract the maximum performance from EASA regulations which required a maximum stalling speed of 35 Knots and maximum take off weight of 472.5 kg. Those limits have now been increased to 45 knots and 600 kg and the Risen now has clipped wings and a Rotax 915iS with a 916iS to come.

[@reforma720]

Beautiful airplane! What is the whining high pitched sound the airplane is making? I think that could drive you nuts on a long flight.

[@deanfowlkes]

Another poster said it was the fuel pump. Get some high-quality noise canceling headsets. Cheap headsets and/or a cheap radio will produce a similar high pitched whine regardless what aircraft you fly (or car you drive for that matter). This can be caused by the alternator spinning. It is especially prevalent in turbocharged and supercharged engines since you have more metal parts spinning at high rates of speed. A good headset is essential regardless, for the sake of protecting your hearing.

I don't know the exact weight value for the cargo, but I know that this summer Alberto Porto, the designer and builder went to Oshkosh with his Risen starting from Voghera (North Italy), Stop in England, straight to Goose Bay, and then Oshkosh. After Oshkosh he went all the way around the States with his Fidanzata from North to South and from East to West, and then back to Italy.

@@andreacolomboairphotographer - In the US, that would not be a valid excuse. Displaced thresholds are used in areas where obstacle clearance may be an issue. Displaced thresholds are used to keep the obstacles well below the aircraft’s glide plane. Landing on the displaced threshold may cause a CFIT issue (crash), making the stress on the brakes a moot point. Or, it may cause higher stress on the landing gear as the pilot increases the descent angle (dives) toward the runway.

@@andreacolomboairphotographer - In the US, current Sport Pilot Certification regulations would not allow a Sport Pilot to fly this as Pilot in Command. You would need a Private Pilot Certificate or higher.

[@andreacolomboairphotographer]

@@deanfowlkes In Italy, in theory, you could fly it after 16 hours of flight. With 30 as pilot in command, you can theoretically carry a passenger. Then it is up to the intelligence of the pilot to understand that he should have a little more experience... even if it is still not one of the most demanding airplanes.

[@deanfowlkes]

@@andreacolomboairphotographer - Thank you for that information. Each country is different with different rules. That is why I specified the US. Current regulations removed this aircraft as an option for Sport Pilots in the US. There is a recommendation to change the current regulations for Sport Pilots that has not been approved yet. If approved, the new rules may make it only necessary to acquire an endorsement for the retractable gear from a Certificated Flight Instructor. That can be done in as little as two hours of flight time (similar to a Private Pilot).

Pity he had to land so far to the port side of runway 34 total bummer !!!

More than 5 minutes over 5500 rpm is over speeding the engine. An overhaul isn't cheap.

As all Rotax Engine with Turbo…..

[@tonylam9548]

The performance is more than enough, but like many sales people, you have an annoying habit of not being up front with the price, a most important spec, I read it from the comments below is around $300 US. You seems to forget who ever buy it have to write the cheque. This airplane is too expensive, and will not sell well, the Rotax engine did not help at all. A big company , need lots of profits to pay for their overheads. The price of the Rotax make it even more unaffordable. There are many converted (100-150HP) engines nowadays for under $10. You are not the only company that tunnel visioned on performance, when the real difficulty is cost.

[@andreacolomboairphotographer]

you might be right, but first of all i'm not a salesman....i just try to show how an airplane flies. I have nothing to do with the company and that's why I don't want to talk about the price which is absolutely in line (indeed perhaps even lower considering the performance) of the competitors ... always talking about the 915.

[@Dzordzikk]

If price is too high for you, this plane isn´t for you. This is very nice and very fast plane and nice toy for big guys.

[@andreacolomboairphotographer]

@@Dzordzikk I absolutely agree with you

[@BOPilot5517]

They never show how it is getting into these types of planes. Could be an issue for a lot of people.

[@andreacolomboairphotographer]

Thanks for your comment….I've actually never thought about it….anyway….i’m 1.86 meter tall and access on board is very easy…..you sit on the leading edge of the wing and enter the cabin very easily.

ยอมรับว่าออกแบบได้สวยมากมันน่าจะบินได้เร็วถ้าจะเป็นเครื่องที่ดีรุ่น 1จ่ายเงินในราคาที่จับต้องได้

Can you do a 5-10min version? Too much fluff footage here.

[@andreacolomboairphotographer]

I partially agree with your comment. What for someone is fluff (and I can understand it) for others it can be interesting. As usual it is impossible to accentuate everyone!

[@jasonsanford6851]

@@andreacolomboairphotographer I got to do a demo flight with Alberto a couple of years ago! so I thoroughly enjoyed this whole video and the capabilities of this amazing aircraft!!

[@andreacolomboairphotographer]

@@jasonsanford6851 with Rotax 915 is incredibile! You can climb at FL100 and flight in economic cruise at 180 Knots….

[@yelsew.8]

There is no fluff footage. Real aviation geeks prefer to educate themselves with thorough videos on the aircraft's specs.
