AVweb's Piper Sport Flight Trial

[@ChristopherWeiss]

This is exactly the kind of video I'd like to see for all airplanes. I felt like I was flying the plane. Great job!

[@BayAreaLen]

I like when Paul hosts these things. Always thorough and interesting. Nice plane too, although the stick's too high.

[@jschoofs]

Wow - Paul actually forced a smile at the end of the video! That must have hurt ;-)

[@DVA5212]

I got to fly the Piper Sport today it handles like a dream

[@aviator147]

i flew in the similar Czech LSA zephyr, the look like the same concept, i really like this Piper!!

[@SizzlinNinja]

Beautiful Plane!

[@rama767]

Still love the Vans RV-10 .. But good for Piper with this new aircraft.

[@Warhorse500]

I know I'm late to the party, but...this actually looks like a fun little airplane. Kinda wish I could get my hands on one...

[@CaptainValorum]

I'll buy one of these when I find the money.

[@paulsteele5038]

Great!

[@flyaguayo]

Paul Bertorelli is the shit!

[@MetaView7]

can you do your own annual and maintenance on this plane?

[@chestateegold]

i wonder if you could lower the stick? that is about the only thing i see about that plane that could be better.

[@jakem1900]

LSA is that light sports aircraft ?

[@RangeTime]

Window shade??? Wouldn't some ultra dark window tint have fixed that without sacrificing visibility?

[@Virtualmix]

Yes, until you flight at night and have the opposite problem.

[@XaircraftX]

yep.

[@drumaboy013]

WOW piper should do a special edtion of the j-3

[@paintballguy113]

Nice dude maybe we'll fly 2gether sumtime lol. i'm nervous abt aiming 2 be an AF pilot b/c you can join and end up not becoming a pilot so that worries me. sumtimes u even end up a heli pilot

[@paintballguy113]

pretty cool litle plane im trying to get my PPL right now I'm 16 aiming for USAF.

[@cobraxspeed]

clean lines.......it looks almost like a first generation Lancair kit.....minus the beast of an engine

[@8literbeater]

Bart Jones has his work cut out for him trying to sell that white elephant.

[@theaustralianshooter]

one of these crashed yesterday in bundaberg.

[@crystalc1ear]

@coolfrog274 it looks cooler than the cessna 162!

[@EAMFilms]

makes me want to learn how to fly

[@8literbeater]

Those are words of a fool. "top LSA"? Out of a list of 86 LSAs that I'm looking at, the PS is 19th from the top (highest) in price. It reaches the 120 knot speed limit along with 12 other LSAs. It is 74th from the top in useful load! The PS ties with 5 others for 29th from the the top in range. But ya know, it did tie for 6th with 10 registrations in 2012, compared to Cessna with 94 and CubCrafters with 48. So Bart is doing a good job of selling this white elephant. It's a mid-range LSA at best.

[@naughtyUphillboy]

8literbeater well fly it, you will feel the difference.

[@naughtyUphillboy]

8literbeater Number don't tell you the fight characteristics, handling, view from cockpit, build quality, integration of BRS......sportcruise and now Bristell are some really good LSA

[@8literbeater]

@chargerowner4 let's see a video of you flying it, or preflighting

[@SilverWingA22]

Evektor SportStar's a better plane - carries more weight, better range, bigger cabin, very sweet handling. Cheaper.

[@SpartanW98]

you cant tint those. you may end up flying at night, that would be like wearing sunglasses at night

[@bobrunge7594]

Would be nice if someone mentioned Piper got out of this...

[@douglarned817]

Piper got out of this....

[@davehawk39]

Sounds like he's talking though a headset mic

[@TobyMcVinn]

Go for business and a P.hd so you can make money and fly awesome planes like T-28s and a King Air C90Gti. You can do it!

[@yacahumax1431]

is 22 pounds not 44

[@SuperCurnel]

here to im 12 going forthe usaf when i get older

[@DVA5212]

@pilotman322 apprx 500 Miles

[@TobyMcVinn]

not too expensive

[@nocalsteve]

Piper gives you a demo flight and you bitch slap them by using "Sportcruiser" as a call sign? At least have the courtesy to refer to it by its current name.

[@phantomf41]

Stay away from the prop arc!!!!!!!!
