Easiest Seaplane To Fly l Super Petrel LS

[@kennethcameron9912]

I just came back from Ormond Beach and had the opportunity to fly this one. I have to agree, it was very easy to fly. Very maneuverable. It is now on the top of my list. Hats off to Roger. Thanks again for taking me up. Hope to talk to you soon.

[@tripleseven8361]

It’s great that you’re so open and candid about exactly what you’re getting for your money...

[@shawnmccrary5526]

As a multiple aircraft owner I’d choose this over an Icon hands down.

[@shawnmccrary5526]

Laurent Pelletier I believe this aircraft is superior in performance and more cost effective. Personally my Cub on floats is much more of a performer and I can haul 4 times of what either can but I think this aircraft is nicer looking and safer than the icon.

[@ActualKaktus]

The initial investment and cost of ownership would be significantly less. I also think this thing is sexier.

[@theshrabster]

Roger is a well-spoken representative of this plane, thanks for the video

[@captarmour]

Interesting hull design with the oversized reverse chines looking like partial hydrofoils. would love to see how it handles rough water

[@happy18yu]

I am not a pilot but this plane is a work of art to my eyes .

[@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869]

I need one of these. I live in Wisconsin but I’m stuck in Wyoming and need a quicker way back to my home near a lake in the Chequemegon. I may need more fuel but I would love this.

[@professordanfurmanek3732]

Nailed it big time!! America's Finest and most thoughtfully designed aircraft ever!! This is a company truly worth watching!

[@caninon7570]

This airplane is brazilian, made by Scoda Aeronáutica.

[@AviationNut]

That is a really cool little airplane and the price is actually pretty good for all that you get. I might have a little talk with my wife tonight. I am actually very interested in this aircraft and I live in Minnesota, right on a private lake, which would work great. Mike if I purchase this aircraft I will invite you for a flight over Minnesota.

[@GallaiTamas]

Thanks for presenting this amphibian.

[@simeon2851]

I have always liked this little plane.

Going for a flight in one is on my bucket list

Great video Roger, the Super Petrel is still at the top of my wish list. If ever you need someone in Australia.... LOL. cheers Wayne.

[@johnathanburt6846]

Are there plans to make a larger and longer aircraft?

[@gvrose1]

Can you put a couple of fishing rods and 2 lunches in the back of the seats?

[@Corvette131]

How much and, do you have it 4 seats? Again the 4 seats how much?

[@Vagab0nd]

Enter the Humming Bird at 5:39 lol

Show more full-length photos/videos of the airplane.

How does it handle salt water landings? Do the L-gears feature any stainless steel?

[@tripleseven8361]

Excellent video...Thanks!

[@chrissanchez9935]

Thanks, Mike.

[@scottyfun12]

great video. Its not as pretty as the icon BUT its much more affordable, you can actually get one, and the process seems to be all so much more uncomplicated! :)

Honestly think the bi-wing is far prettier - vintage looking! Gorgeous

Great work on this video Thanks

[@gotmilk91]

Gear down emergency landing, may work for an Olympic-sized swimming pool

[@b.atwater3904]

You mentioned wingspan and ramp width, that is a big issue in Michigan where I would be flying. There are high posts on most of the ramp docks that would not allow a plane access. I like the biplane design, but will probably look for a folding wing plane unless I can afford private access that is wide enough for this one.

[@ciberthej]

B. Atwater well do you know about the Icon A 5, I think it would be a perfect pick for you.

[@sarah-nm6dt]

Why not use a hydrofoil (s) for landing and take offs in water?

[@gaurav656ae8]

please make a detailed comparison between SeaRay, SeaMax and Super petrel.

[@robertwoods4281]

Thanks for that open and informative video. And u even offer a free download with more information. Would like to go flying with you anytime.

[@davidcarr894]

Would consider buying one if offered engine other than Rotax.

[@billinga]

Excellent video and production, two thumbs up. Great information about the Petrel!!

[@timj9350]

Mike you are doing a great job with getting us more content sooner. If you are ever in Scottsdale let’s go flying.

[@mojogrip]

Thank you Tim.

[@NavsTech]

Nice looking aircraft. Great videos Mike 👌🏽

[@richystar2001]

Good to know if you had to do a short water stop... Some what an inadvertent added feature.

[@anrblock]

I'm 6,8 300 lbs, is there a light sport aircraft that I can fit in? Could I fit in this plane or the icon A5?

[@braido.rafael]

A Brazilian project, amazing plane.

[@MrPhilEU]

The pétrel was a French design which was bought and slightly modified to become the super petrel from Brazil.

[@truth-uncensored2426]

@@MrPhilEU Actually the internal mods were significant including a new engine unit, changes in the hull, modernisation of the avionics, etc.

[@caninon7570]

@@MrPhilEU No, the french plane was the Hydroplum II, the Petrel and super Petrel are brazilian projects.

“We take your license and we add water.” I picture this guy in a pub and putting my coupon in my scotch and soda.

[@donaldwilleford8100]

Will the super petrel take the viking 130 hp work as the power plant?

[@the6thregion]

Good coverage. No wing-folding option.

[@alpinegeordie]

I hope the adhesive used in your plane is better than the decals in the video!

This is a brazilian airplane guys so, thanks to Brazil, remember it.

[@leeway777]

Legit trainer or I have to get my license by using a different airplane?

[@boomerantics9586]

Thanks for the video! Just got a seaplane rating AND this has a J-bar just like my old Mooney! Unfortunately, I'm in a state which allows seaplanes on only two obscure reservoirs.

[@jorbedo]

The design is for adventure, but why so small and limited?

[@joelonderee2872]

Great video (again), Mike. Looks like the perfect airplane!

[@HappyHands.]

i love the biplaneseaplane! its nice to know that second wing is there in case you lose power.

[@BuceGar]

Really nice aircraft.

[@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869]

Can you get a turbocharged Achates engine in this beauty? I need a light plane for longer range travel. My home is 1500 miles from where I currently work. This is a perfect design. And with the ability to land on water, I have a machine that I can take to the lake next to my home and not worry about using the airport for anything but fuel… and with an Achates, I would be able to fly on my diesel generator fuel.

Good job

[@hyouzanren1846]

Biplane+seaplane:😍😍😍

[@chuckbasics8972]

Last time I checked, this thing was $189,000.00 at 2018 Airventure in Oshkosh, my home town. That spring it was $155,000.00. Any way you look at it, for the size of the airplane and the small baggage capacity, the price is absolutely crazy. A very fancy ins panel that rivals a 747. Very classy but overkill. A while back you could build an experimental relative of this aircraft, made in the same factory in Brazil that is almost identical for less than $80,000.00. That would be your rough completed price. Not today. :) :)

Hey Rog why don't you fly it up to Fairfield.

[@gerdesoto262]

The only thing it should about that flying boat airplane it should be able to carry 6 people then it be worth having the flying boat. In Hawaii you sell a good number of them

[@gerdesoto262]

You talk about engines put a V8 sumnit racing engine on that flying boat. Summit racing 800-230-3030. Then put a propeller 13 blades in the circle and the blades at 14 inches wide. That would get high volume of air and maximum pulling power and the prepeller made from hard steel and now you get better performance

[@antoniodonizetedepauli3637]

Good, Like...

[@kevinbutler9786]

$189,000 is actually pretty reasonable. That's a great looking plane.

[@johngallagher912]

Camera man spends too much time on the guy talking, not enough views of the plane. While he was talking, the camera should have panned the plane from all directions, both detail shots and full-view-of-the-plane shots. If he really wanted to sell the plane, he should put his ego in check, and show the plane.

[@highrevs6110]

John Gallagher The lower wing looks very near the water. Presumably the plane needs very flat water and a very level landing to avoid dipping a wing

[@TAZ.MENARD]

Amen to that.

[@fitrianhidayat]

That's the editing department.. Of course the cameraman gonna record the guy when he's talking.

[@R3dp055um]

Fully agreed. Way too much time spent looking at this long-winded old fart with the pussy beard. I want to see the damn plane.

[@h20bearboy65]

the first generation of the Petrel killed my brother on a test flight at Oshkosh in 1992. The plane had been built with too few layers of glass in the tail section, the tail snapped off in flight. Manufacturers packed up and hightailed it back to brazil, the same day, leaving their dead demo pilot on the slab at the morgue!

pricey? That's an understatement. Spring of 2018 it was $155,000.00. Now it's $189,000.00?? A few years back you could buy a simlar kit and complete it with the same engine for less than half what this thing costs.

[@treywest268]

Beautiful airplane! However, anyone flying an amphibious aircraft who either makes a wheels down landing on water, or a wheels up landing on ground, really should rethink about their decision to keep their pilot's license. Yes, sometimes equipment fails to do the job that it was designed for. I understand that. I these types of incidents have happened enough to count on more than one hand, then one needs to ask if the problems have been fixed in manufacturing or if there are that many foolish pilots out there flying machines that they truthfully shouldn't be in.
