What an exciting trio of aircraft these look to be! The thought of two turbines in an 1100 pound airframe is really quite remarkable, what stunning performance that promises! These men are clearly very highly knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic at their projected developments and it will be great to see your follow up videos.

I'm setting up a kickstarter for some equipment (laser cutter/engraver and a resin 3D printer) for my vtol aircraft idea. Although the kickstarter is going to be set up for some war gaming products (dice tower, terrain and some scatter pieces), I'll be using the equipment for R&D on my aircraft design, battery charging system and some alternate propulsion ideas I've cooked up.

Have to agree with the two seater guys, with baggage space or baggage pods. With that kid of set up I'm wondering what engine range and price range would be available. Thanks for the video. Please keep us updated.

Phenomenal, truly. A Viking Engine would be a great low(er) cost option...

[@joeandjanice]

Where would you put the radiator?

[@michaelz6870]

Agreed, especially with their new 195 hp turbo. While passing up a turbine for a turbo piston would likely dent the soul, and just talking about it amounts to heresy, it would be a fraction of the cost to get off the ground.

[@michaelz6870]

@@joeandjanice re radiator, I believe I've seen them integrated on similar aircraft by putting them behind ducting at the rear bottom of the fuselage.

[@xpeterson]

There are other 2 seater canard aircraft out there. Not to put words in the mouth of the creator, but it looks to me that the decision to make this a single seater was intentional for power to weight, efficiency, aerodynamics and affordability. Maybe check out the Stagger EZ?

[@bryanst.martin7134]

Side by side is twice the drag. I think tandem high/low would be a nice compromise.

To install install adel clamps long time ago in the Air Force I would take wire loom lacing, I flat nylon string and use that to pull the eyes together and catch a thread with the nut the pull the lacing out and finish the install. Worked on a radar system that was installed on a C130 used to control the AQM 134 drone system. LOTS of wires and LOTS of adel clamps. Yehaaaaa!!!!!

Awesome! Happy you got to see it in person too! Thank you so much for watching and SUBSCRIBING! I appreciate you.

[@rorsolits]

I built and fly an ERacer, high performance, O360, fully retractable gear, of course designed after Rutans longeze. I love thinking outside the box, and innovation, but reinventing the wheel can be daunting at best. There was another Eracer that moved the winglets inboard, it fatally failed the flight test. I say go where no man has gone before..slowly..carefully!!

[@John-rw9bv]

It's a pity, because i really want to make a crazy version of the LongEZ that can land on water, but if just moving winglets around can cause a fatal crash then I don't know if i'll ever be successful

Great design. Execution is perfect. I'd like to build one.

700lb thrust for 1100lb GTOW = 3g acceleration? If this guy did the math on this airplane and you buy one, God help you.

[@pistonar]

Good or bad?

[@garycaruso4883]

maths... 3113N/500kg=6.23m/s^2 = about 0.63G.. this assumes the thrust is constant..

[@troygleeson738]

Canards are tricky to get right.

[@gradytalbot2018]

Easy math. One lb. of thrust for a one pound object = 1 g acceleration. An 1,100 lb. object would need 3,300 lbs. of thrust for 3 g acceleration. (700 lb. of thrust per an 1,100 lb. object - 700/1,100 = .6363 g's). If confused, think of a one lb. object sitting on the floor. It is subject to gravity (1 g acceleration) trying to pull it through the floor, and the floor is exerting a one lb. resisting force (upward), so the object doesn't move.

[@lefthandedhardright8839]

Please god, help me to get one.

Curious why a single place. Seems difficult re-engineer to add a seat. If 2 place 'could use' as fuel space for distance. Maybe just planning an airshow machine. Thanks for the channel.

Very nice. I'm a firm believer in the potential of minimal single or tandem seater planes with either piston or jets. Or even electric but sleak and minimal. My main aversion is the obtuse price of jet engines. We really need a revolution there. Huge potential because a jet is quite simple. What jet engine are they planning to use?

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

AMT LINKS JET ENGINE.... from the "Netherlands" is what they told me. Thank you so much for watching and SUBSCRIBING! I appreciate you.

[@DanFrederiksen]

@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel hmm, that's a hobby jet manufacturer yet they want 60k euros for one. And it drinks as much fuel as a Pratt and Whitney PW615 which can deliver 6x the thrust. Looking at the PW600 series, it's actually a very small engine. Most is cowling and junk. And it's a turbofan so the jet itself is even smaller. We really need someone to make a clean basic version of such an engine for a fair price. Thinking large volume which will invariably follow if such an engine were offered at a reasonable price. And I'm thinking it could be very profitable at 50k$ which I'm guessing is about 20x cheaper than Pratt wants for one. It's such bullshit that that little hairdryer has to cost a million dollars.
