[@williepierce5480]

William you have done an excellent job On the aircraft be proud

[@RaivoltG]

Awesome plane! I wish I had the ability to buy one! Have a great time in her!!

[@jaytrock3217]

Great Job William. Thank you for posting. Hope you are enjoying.

[@FreedomFlight1]

great job, thanks for making this video

Great! Thanks so much for posting! Jack Smith ATP (retired Alaska pilot)

Also, I've been looking hard at the IconA5. But I do love your 'out there' flight experience. The flight deck, being so far forward, and the slow elegant fight your craft can take, I must admit I do love it. I need to look at the cost of ownership next. But a beautiful bird for sure.

Clecos! Haven't seen those since I worked at Lockheed back in the 80s.

Clecos! Haven't seen one of those since I last opened my toolbox.

Thats great, thank you for posting!

GREAT video! One day, I also will build an AirCam - even for other people for small money - so, if you want to build one and need help, call/ask me ... QUESTION: what kind of uv-protection did you use? Could you please tell me the name and brand? Because, when I had my quicksilver on floats in the caribbean, I did NOT use any anti-ultraviolett-protection - GUESS, what happend, after less then one year the wing were soft like PAPER !!!

I have a very similar iron for my Rc plane. Thanks for the video.

[@mike_oe]

well done!

[@patrickryan3075]

thank you! Great video!

[@jphurleyify]

this was awesome, thanks

[@AV8R_1]

What a fantastic build video!!! Nice Job!! Covering it looks like a huge pain in the butt! can you use a heat gun instead of an iron?

[@skorpius752]

Yup. And then you can strip everything off and recover it when you burn a hole through it!

[@kevinwells9222]

Hi William, thanks for this video. I loved it. I was searching for Air Cam videos. But then I noticed your last name... Rasmussen. Are you related to a Del Rasmussen by chance? Had to ask. Meanwhile, thank you for the great video.

[@skiparu1]

+Kevin Wells Thanks Kevin for your comments but no not related to Del Rasmussen, and I have never done anything that is this much fun and rewarding Skip Rasmussen

[@joeob4194]

you said at the end of the video, it's possible to buy the 4-DVD-Set? How much are they and do you also send them to Frankfurt, Germany? Thanks, regards

[@skiparu1]

Yes Joe they are $45.00 just email me at [e-mail]

[@johnkoz34]

@@skiparu1 Hello. Do you still have the DVD's available? I love the many videos you have posted. I too, hope to build an AirCam soon.

[@skorpius752]

Nice plane. But then there is the little problem of needing a multi engine rating. Too bad we don't have sensible rules like Europe, where you can have more than one engine and constant speed props on a sport plane. I personally find it insulting that the FAA thinks that, even with an A&P rating, I can't figure out how to operate a couple of 582s!

[@ngodline12]

aren't they 912's?

[@GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

How much does it cost to hire an aircraft mechanic to put it together for you? Even the actions in this video are beyond me.

[@militar3rd]

At $35 an hour, 50th percentile of A&P Mechanic, Lockwood estimates a build time of 1000+ hours. $35,000 That's just for the labor. The airframe is 60k without the Rotax 912 Engine w/ Propeller package (add another 10k?!).

[@danruleman7038]

Kit is $67,000; engines, props, mounts, $55,000; floats $50,000 + avionics, paint. Min of $170k probably closer to $200k

[@superskullmaster]

GeneralSirDouglasMcA if you lived near me I would be willing to help you for about $20 per hour. I have my A&P and work at Lockheed. This kit looks very easy to build and it shouldn't intimidate you all to much. I even see areas that could use improvement.
