"Sixty kts and 600 fpm, so why do we need a CAPS parachute?" Um, because of the sixty kts forward speed?

[@JRudd]

😂

[@tedm6894]

In IMC he said as well, can't wait to go 60kts through a terraced house. Sounds fab, sob the chute.

[@jamesb777driver]

Beautiful machine!

[@mikeyswingsacrossthesky2244]

just needs a few gold bars to buy 1!!

[@classicraceruk1337]

I agree the price is to close to a 62.

[@engasser]

Looks an absolute tool (in a good way) but that cowling is fugly!

[@stratotramp6243]

bit ugly - but maybe in a good way 😅 like a Muscle car. I think its those snorting air intakes. I think the top 3/4 view not that flattering but I guess unlikely to be seen from that vantage that closely usually.

In my bucket list after winning the Lottery:). They could have made it more Sexy on the front part.

[@davejones542]

£800,000 ?

[@FLYERTV]

Maybe nearer £900k looking at the exchange rate

Is Ian seriously quoting dimensions and consumption in feet and gallons? Then switch to S.I. units randomly? Why use imperial units at all? Is this 1922 Britain or 2022? When was the last time Ian went to B&Q and purchased anything in feet? Of paid for his aviation fuel by the gallon? Ridiculous! Lovely video presentation besides.

[@FLYERTV]

Sorry, but if a mix there

Because a plane like this is for penis measuring. That's always done in inches.
