I want one

I love 'em

merci

Today there's a lot of experimentation in drone design. The Quickie configuration could be good for a CTOL "horizontal" quadrotor - electric props mounted in the wings. It would be optimized for speed and endurance rather than VTOL capability.

Imagine this thing fighting world war 1

Beautiful.. Need a 4 passenger

Also what is with his pronunciation of certain words? Like... really wrong, to the point I wasn't sure I knew what word he was even trying for.

Needs three blade propeller.

I had just found out about this aircraft and I love it. I would love to buy one.

Cozy and the Cozy MkIV well out perform the LongEZ, especially if an IO-360 and even a couple IO-540 installs.

How about your next video on the Cozy and Cozy MkIV?

As an avid Diamond Pilot I can say : Yes, beautiful aircraft, industries best handling qualities, perfect Garmin G1000 suite and not to forget the fabulous Jet Fuel powered FADEC engine. BUT : For this price, the aircraft range is too small. Practically (if you plan with a nearby alternate in IFR-Conditions) you can just fly around 2 hours and 45 minutes. Finish! Why does this big SEP airplane has only 11 Gallons more fuel then the DA40 NG ? And the ridiculous MTOM of 1999 kilograms. The official answer from the company : Because their owners (in Europe) don't want to pay the IFR-fees (because in Europe, you don't pay IFR-Fees if your MTOM is lower then 2000 kgs). Sorry to say; this sounds to me like a bad joke. With such a big wing and the 300hp engine, you should be able to boost the MTOM to at least 2300kgs and it should be possible to add 20-25 gal more fuel compared to the DA40 NG.

The Cirrus SR22 line is the modern day doctor killer.... Same reason. Too much plane for an inexperienced pilot. Just because you can buy it doesn't mean you are good enough to fly it.

I thought ultralights in the U.S. could only have one seat?

Who was Tom Jewit ?

Have you ever heard of Piaggio p166? Same configuration thousand years before the starship You came second

In 2006 I tried out Mooney, Cirrus, and Columbia 400. By far the Columbia 400 got my nod. I owned one for 7 years. It gave way to a TBM 850. But it's a great plane and better than the others in its class IMHO

The STC conversion to Allison 250-B17F turboprop power makes the P210 the ultimate light aircraft in my opinion. It turns it into a real hotrod.

Great plane! If you love the Porter, you might like our Pilatus PC-9 we just flew!

almost X-wing

I absolutely love the Porter. I spent a year working in New Guinea, and the PC6 was rightly widely deployed as the terrain is very challenging. Recently I visited the Royal Thai Air Force Museum at Don Mueang in Bangkok - it was great to see an ex-Vietnam war era Porter there in military livery.

helped my father build his Q1 - learned alot

Grew up around The Starship, got a chance to work on one in flight at Raytheon. Always liked the Q2, but they had a problem getting airborne before a fix was created (Flow conditioners on dihedral wing) and had problems with low power on Q1 and Q200 (Low Hp and unavailable powerplant/CoG issues) but they were fixed by the time the Q2 came around. I want one badly, but I have accepted it will probably never happen.

You forgot to mention why no one see them flying today!!!

P.S. the brakes was also crap, or non existent

I built one and it’s a great plane if you want to kill yourself. Try flying it in the rain

This design looks just weird enough to actually be god looking.

We will be able to "fly" one in Microsoft Flight Sim 2024!

Please use aeronautical terms

As a teenager in the ‘70s, I followed with eager anticipation every new kit design, especially those by Rutan. The Quickie and Q2 really caught my eye and imagination. But sadly, I was never in a position financially to build a kit plane. Aside from several trips to Oshkosh in the 90s, an inactive ASEL pilot’s license, and a 3 1/2 year stint as a flight nurse in the USAFR, my keen attention to aviation can now only be quenched by looking up….and watching videos like these. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

I'm so sick of living in a nanny-state, life's boring, there's nothing worth pursuing.. have you tried procreating? procreate.. quantity over quality, we need more workers, not this wonder stuff.. if you give us the good bits of your life, you can sit on a boat, with 5000 other people who look and think just like you, and all paly Catch O' the Day together for a few weeks every few years of the decrepit part of your existence ✨don't dream. no. naughty.

Wow. Each aircraft, priced around $80k is a beauty.

Hmmm 7 million for an aircraft that flies less than 1000nm and a cruise speed of of 160kts. I’d rather have a PC12 if I had the money. But still the seastar is a very cool airplane

My 12 year old son and I are currently building one (Q200)! We have been working about 6 months and have several components completed. Your video was done very professionally and showed the history and story of the aircraft very well. We've shared your video for others to enjoy! Thanks for showcasing the beautiful airplanes. We hope ours turns out as well as our friends airplanes in this video.

I attended the Oshkosh airshow in the late 1970's and got to hear Burt Rutan speak about his Vari-Eze. I had an FAA A&P license plus pilot license and he convinced me I needed to build one. I bought his plans and started gathering all the components. Shortly afterwards I had the opportunity to buy a 1946 Cessna 120 so sold my Vari-Eze plans and components. Always been sorry I didn't build that beautiful airplane. Burt is a genius!

yes controversial. we need more regulators to help us control the speed to 100knots i'm very nervous

No wonder why they cost so much, that's a lot of kevlar.

To use a tired phrase, planes don’t kill people, people kill people.

Very expensive

I worked for Raytheon when their acquisition of Beech aircraft took place. Over time I got to know quite a number of Beech executives and had the opportunity to visit their manufacturing facility including the facility designed for manufacture of the carbon fiber Starship. During that period I worked to acquire a new (Super) King Air from Beech for our company. Eventually flying serveral thousand miles on what must be one of the very finest corporate aircraft ever built. Your video brought back some memories of those days.

2785 Anderson Vista

I love this design!

"Added peace of mind" and a multi-engine rating.

it would look so intresting if the rudder was upside down so that the rear wheel would be at its tip. You know, because it isnt unorthodox enough haha

I'd have one. So quarky! Should create plenty of lift though. X-wing vibes.

This is a Superfast little bird. Would fly from Abuja to Morocco and then across into Europe and have a pint in London in the evening. Can I have one please.😮

So many mistakes in this video. Such a shame.

When I see this aircraft, I think of my father and the cast off air force pilots from Vietnam who came to Laos to fly this magnificent bird during the secret war. Because my father was an officer in the Royal Army, I could hitch a ride to any of the Lima location that was safe.

Master piece

Was it originally from Switzerland???
