Pocket Rocket Allison Turbine

Cruise and climb performance
Locher Airfield

[@keithskillz90210]

Great video! Love the plane! Love the hangar! Love the natural surroundings! Good, happy music too!!!! Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you one of the coolest guys ever!

[@esquire1229]

I had the opposite reaction. That awful music covered over the beautiful of a turbine start up.

[@imathugyall742]

If you can watch this and still wonder why people love aviation and the machines that have been built since "composite materials and turbines" ( jet engine with a prop on it ) like this have come on the scene... I don't know what to say to ya ?? Riding a motorcycle in a mountain environment is maybe 1000th of the thrill of lifting off the ground in this miss-isle and having your back pushed into the seat as it tears toward the mountaintops. The sound is beautifully ferocious !!!

[@sbkenn1]

especially if you built it yourself ! I hope to finish mine (Cozy) sometime, but will probably never fly it solo (health reasons).

[@squach6239]

ImaThug Yall That's a gorgeous flying machine,no doubt! I think it would take twenty pounds of butter and a shoe horn to get me into that little thing though! Pure scares the s**t out of me just looking at it! If I wanted to go like that with so little around me I would strap a rocket to my ass!

[@IgorIgor...]

@@sbkenn1 Hello friend! ✊🙂 Have you finished your Cozy ? I hope you are doing well and you will answer me.

[@robajohnson]

1) What a fascinating airfield! I have never seen anything like that taxiway before! Pretty cool! 2) Man he sure greased that landing!

[@GreenFillwood]

Fantastic aircraft - massive performance for the type and all on Jet A1. NICE! Thanks for uploading

[@tuxedoflamingo2010]

This is so awesome! I'm jealous. Would give anything to check it out in person. That "driveway" from the hangar to runway is so cool!

[@jsugar72]

OMG dude taxi a little pathway up to a grass airstrip if you can even call it that and take off in a valley between two mountains then land down hill. Absolutely amazing set up....

Justin Sugarman I thought it was a cow pasture.

[@jaywilkes3416]

You sir are a very lucky man..Thanks for posting.

[@Absaalookemensch]

Love your views on TO/landing. Private airfields are an awesome convenience.

[@brendendas]

The amount of badasserey in this video is outstanding! - Climb upto the airfield on something that my car would hesitate to climb on, THEY DID IT WITH A F***ING PLANE - Takeoff from what could barely be called an airfield. - Landing on previously mentioned path of land through treacherous terrain - Carefully descend through same concrete path knowing that overbraking could cause a prop strike. You guys are crazy. Cheers and happy flying.

[@TheProPilot]

Brenden dat BETA torque tho

[@sbkenn1]

He nearly ground-looped on the curve though.

[@Ujjwalis]

THEY DID IT WITH A F***ING PLANE .... F***ing JET Plane !!

[@adesades01]

Agree, looks like an accident waiting to happen there.

[@salvadordavalos5150]

So? you must take a look at The Prototype video at Backcountry Pilot channel, they didnt put shitty music on their video.

[@Anrboy]

That airport is almost as ridiculous as the airplane! Amazing video!

[@lokinsea]

Is that an Airport or a Golf Course?

[@WarblesOnALot]

G'day, Everybody else in the Valley must hate that NOISY little Hairygoplane with a really deep passion. What a horrible Noise to make in such an otherwise beautiful place (!). Maybe the Neighbours are taking up a Collection to buy an Anti Aircraft Gun ; to shut that demented whining roaring howling selfish little thing down...? Such is life, Have a good one. ;-p Ciao ! Such is Life

[@idaspudman]

I don't know why this type of midi music is so prevalent in KZbin videos, but it sure fucks up a good video!

[@OldFliersGroup]

Great aircraft. Well powered. Such an attractive airfield too.

[@BlitzvogelMobius]

Also where that airport and that facility is located is some James Bond level shit!

[@marcusrussell8660]

That is the neatest little turboprop I have ever seen. Did you see that huge prop? Congratulations to the designer- pilot.

[@sbkenn1]

Big prop all right. I guess he doesn't go to full power till 150knots+ Why has nobody put a UHB fan on a turbine. Regular turboprops don't come into their sweet spot till 250 knots

[@brucebear1]

Three-point landings???? With that prop, YEAH!!!

[@kadmow]

a wheelie on that pasture may end up with cute flared tips...

[@philipbrailey]

Nice, thanks for posting. Nice approach.

[@coldfoot99]

One of the most interesting videos I've see. That "airfield" is amazing, especially the taxi ramp, must take a bit of practice to negotiate that.

[@AnthonyWest]

Cool plane. Liked the music.

[@vanaus6801]

Now, that's a way to enjoy life. The surroundings are stunning and I'm sure quite beautiful in the air. Portions make the Aircraft look like and RC Model Plane.

[@carmelpule6954]

One of the best small planes I have ever seen.

[@mrshoeguy2477]

That German techno music is like a cheese grater on my brain.

[@Snowbirdxx]

Same vid is on KZbin without music, Turbine sound only, enjoy at full volume! " Pocket Rocket withoud sound"

[@williegillie5712]

The prop on that little pocket rocket goes beta quite often on that short field. I like the climb out. Pretty cool and the pt6 is a great turbo prop

[@keithladd2365]

Now that's a fantastic aircraft. How lucky can some people get, to have that kind of equipment and based in those surroundings. Lucky individual. 🤩🤩👍👍👍

[@antoniosvlachos8981]

Fantastic plane. Fantastic airfield!

[@NewMexico67]

One of the prettiest 3 point landings I've seen.

[@Tallguysrc]

Love the driveway :)

[@1950harleycharley]

Beautiful airplane and flight! =Great video...as others have said, could do without the music, but otherwise...a wonderful job!! Amazing aircraft!

[@Whitpusmc]

Speechless man, speechless. The Brass Balls on that Pilot too, not sure I’d drive on that taxiway with my Honda...

[@craigrockwell1]

I like your style. What can't you land on, I bet the roof if you had too. I really like your turboprop handling and steep approach. Thanks and keep it up. Rock

[@Snowbirdxx]

Craig, A flat approach would end up in the wires. Check out the vid here from Darren Fern " landing guide to locher sarentino" and you can see why the approach is what it is.

[@SteveWrightNZ]

Great music, thanks! Goes really great with the plane and really adds to the feeling! Love it!

[@teamqvt]

The weirdest airfield I've ever seen. Awesome plane as well

[@gregzapia]

Kudos for this butter smooth landing!

[@smaze1782]

Very nice. Oh and nice airfield too.

[@fnln4826]

Wow fantastically smooth landing. Nice job

[@dieseldiesel9292]

That's awesome. I love turboprops. 😍

[@skyearthocean5815]

That airfield is so cool! Pretty country to! Gotta be a bit of a challenge getting up and down that ramp in a taildragger though.

[@flyboyone]

People!!!! It's the sound!!!! Nothing (forget Ferraris or Lambos! Anyone that says those Cars or even F1 Cars make the best engine sounds has simply never heard a Jet start close up. A Turbine engine during Start Up sounds like a wild animal waking up!!!

[@Chrisshay111]

I’m pretty much digging the airfield more than the plane, which is quite cool itself!

[@toddborden9417]

I love that airfield!

[@CRD0204]

I love the area, taking off and landing in the mountains gorgeous

[@joenenninger971]

This is why we fly. What a cool little airport and great plane.

[@tonyw3655]

I'm still trying to decide what was more beautiful... The aircraft or the area he keeps it at!!!!! WOW Great plane

[@Magarik796]

Video eccellente, grande aereo, atterraggio perfetto

[@onemantwohands5224]

she's beautiful!!! and really got some prop going on there , Wowsers

[@combatwombat71]

Very smooth 'greaser' landings :-)

[@emptyroomrocker]

The most badass thing in this video is the guy taxiing the taildragger down that ramp :O

[@thebertt]

That's a beautiful plane. It just looks right.

[@alainlibert8841]

Amazing pilot, plane, turbine, taxiway, airfield, situation, (security!!!) Waouwwww everything is Rock'n Roll. Be safe (BTW in case an engine failure, or ... I hope you've a ballistic parachute)

[@leifvejby8023]

Could you please upload it again, but without the noise. I would very much like to hear the music from the engine and propeller.

[@ChristianOberkofler]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqrVoHZ7opVnbLM

[@leifvejby8023]

Thanks a lot!!

[@dacostad]

X

[@luiggimondoli]

I agree. We aviation people are more interested in the subject not the decoration. A bit of music as intro would be ok but that's it.

[@chuanist]

Yep. The 'catchy' 'music' really detracts from this and many other videos.

[@stoviks473]

Love it ! Need one

[@kourtsmyth3266]

Well done mate! Good lord that's a heathy rate of climb ;) Very nice craft, many happy landings to you!

[@Snowbirdxx]

With the B17 engine installed now, I see 6400ft/ min. When pulling up from max cruise in a 50° climb 11,600 ft/minreducing to 6400 within 20 seconds

[@flybobbie1449]

Looks like you need a good roc in that area.

[@venusreena2532]

Beautiful scenery..

[@mickeybitsko8333]

This guy has life figured out.

[@arnoldmayii3563]

Thats super cool!!

[@QG-vz4qg]

Wow that plane has tip tanks love it

[@yukon4511]

Beautiful airplane!

[@bipolatelly9806]

megalithic airfield! cool.... beautiful plane.

[@brent2846]

the music killed this. aircraft lovers want to hear the plane.

[@apocalipsboy21]

Damn those touch downs were smooth

[@RunFast64]

How log will it stay in the air? Less than an hour I'm guessing. That Allison must be very thirsty....

[@stejac51]

.... Well 'Beta Range' certainly helps tame that taxi way slope ... and helps plant the tail when landing ... very nice ....

[@paulyfrog6553]

off road airplaning, mowing the lawn? wow!!! that little ride down the path just wow! .

[@billjamison2877]

I would love to fly that plane! What a blast it would be.

[@edilbertosantana8307]

Beautiful airfield & ***airplane***

[@edilbertosantana8307]

Love the plane !!!

[@apieceofdirt4681]

Those are some cool looking planes. I wish I had the balls to fly but I'm too chicken.

[@pacowang283]

You stuck that landing sir. Impressive.

[@VernonWallace]

WOW what a great aircraft.

[@buckmanaustin3211]

What a gorgeous airplane. Would love to have seen more flying. However, many others have already said it, and I concur. Canned KZbin music should be illegal.

[@Snowbirdxx]

Rolly Royce did not supply stickers, so we put a P&W sticker on it. It confuses quite a bit of people.

[@apieceofdirt4681]

Quite. I use to have problems with that word as well!!

[@Snowbirdxx]

Tx fixed!

[@parqld]

So if you are going to spend God knows how much building that aircraft, would you not just spend a little extra getting proper Allison decals made... not that hard. Completely pointless putting Pratt stickers on the thing... nice aircraft though.

[@arodrigues2843]

Thomas Dietrich THAT'S STUPID !!!

[@tedhusby]

Please....Post more videos of this amazing plane.

[@Warick.Grubb.]

I WANT ONE ! ! !

[@markseifried3959]

I love this guys home and airport setup. I believe he has several planes. They are all fantastic. But, what I would love to know is how he made his money. Many Thanks Turbo Prop pilot. I'll be waiting for your call.

[@Ublomor]

Fantastic! Thanks

[@paragliderpete]

Must be nice to have an Allison turbo prop engine on your airplane. Maybe someday I can put one on my Cessna 206

[@cartmanrlsusall]

cool airfield

[@BartzabelAlgol]

beautiful area!.

[@johannmckraken9399]

What a little beast!

[@guyfihi]

It would be cool to see this at the upcoming Reno air races, but I know, you are a long way from Reno.

[@francois-on-youtube]

that's the PC12 airfield with electric cables all over the approach. Great work.

[@fahimakash]

Such a wonderful place I wonder where it's located..

[@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq]

Love the plane. Music off though. What kind of kit is the plane and the engine? Thx.

[@trangenusa]

sweet, amazing, love to have one

[@calmlife1a]

Sweet little Turbo prop plane.....

[@dankardas]

That is a beautiful aircraft and the sound of the jet engine is so sweet. What is her top speed? Thank you--Dan Kardas

[@morskojvolk]

Sexiest turbo-prop ever designed...just beautiful.

[@joynermark]

At one point I thought it was an RC model. With the drone footage, made it look like a model, also the way it was handling.

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Came to the airplane video specifically for the comments by the music critics...

[@SpaceCaptainDR]

Nice job mon ami ... Pilatus eat your heart out!

[@fredeb67]

Plenty of courage to taxi that tail dragger like that near steep drop off. The take off roll was amazing; it just jumped into the air.

[@Thomas1980]

Absolut STARKES Video von dir!!!

[@geraldhaller9906]

Wie groß ist die Reichweite und was verbraucht die Maschine pro Stunde bei Reisegeschwindigkeit ? Ich fand sie schon mit Rotax Motor klasse und alles andere als langsam aber das kickt mich richtig

[@jtuttle11]

Now THIS would make Formula One air racing Interesting.

[@glishskiii]

Can you do wheel landings in that thing or is there not enough prop clearance?

[@bobmuller6547]

Tell me more about this plane.. Custom designed ? or Turbine from factory ? this planes model is ?

[@ZZ2tamaties]

Nice I need one :)

[@jaytolbert7538]

Great performing aircraft. That 'music' has got to go.

[@rogertycholiz2218]

Turbine whine & music - turn off the music.

[@fredflinstone2791]

Music= Rich children on Parade.

[@austinmccoy9743]

That "music" is ruining the sound of the beautiful Allison engine.

[@MajorCaliber]

Frickin' CLOWN muzak, amirite?

[@Erik-rp1hi]

You do do having pitting on the prop going up that ramp?

[@hansanderson6607]

So, was this an aircraft built from scratch, or a kit? What type of engine is used? What is the max distance? How much did it cost to put together? Too bad that it didn't have retractable landing gear, it would have increased the range and speed.

[@marcwisdorf4092]

definition of eccentric...love it
