    You do realise that you can own any unclassified military aircraft, as long as you do two things.
    1. Remove all classified or otherwise protected military equipment.
    2. Unless you want to register your aircraft as a destructive device and pay for a $200 tax stamp. Remove the targeting pod and/or weapon stations depending on the aircraft.
    The only real limiting factor is money.

      I was thinking the same thing. Claiming aerobatic capabilities necessitates a decent g load capability. Just because they look like it, doesn't mean they are capable. Some of these may be no more capable than a C172 for all we know, and the sleek aero design could be simply for speed and distance performance.

    You have a habit of saying knots per hour. That is incorrect, a knot already has time integrated, unlike miles that has no time integrated until you specify MPH... Other than that, I enjoy your videos. By the way, if you want to go over 200 knots in comfort get a pressurized Skymaster. $65,000 will get you one with 600ish hour engines and a 20,000 foot cruise altitude. The only plane I enjoyed fly more was a Lear 24.

    It's amazing how much they get from the rotax in a few of them. They're 2/3's or so the performance at a fraction of the cost of other high performance planes. Although if the Diamond is anything like a Super Tucano it's going to be a awesome ride. My friend knows someone with a Shorts Super Tucano and it will leave you speechless. I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure it's got a 1100hp Garret up front and it's a rocket. I was smiling so much after a little ride it started to hurt. I'd possibly give up sex for one if it came with a unlimited budget to run it lol.

    So it seems like a lot of people ignored the fact that the last aircraft is going to be used as a military trainer. But even if you do ignore that all of these aircraft have bubble canopy’s, highly maneuverable, and two seats with one behind the other. Not to mention some of these aircraft have flight controls that resemble an f16 layout with throttle on the left and flight stick on the right. There’s also the other ones that have a flight stick in between your legs like an f15. It shouldn’t be that incredibly hard for any one to tell that these resemble fighter jets.

    I love your videos, but you have one habit that unfortunately sets off my OCD. You keep saying "knots per hour". Knots are nautical miles per hour. It's already 'per hour'. So in my head you keep saying "nautical miles per hour per hour". Just say knots, that's how the word is used.

    • @PaulAnthonyDuttonUk
      @PaulAnthonyDuttonUk 6 років тому

      Chatsu8o So can't be knots per year then? A knot is a measure of distance only. You can record the knot against what ever time scale you choose. Time scales are not implied just commonly inferred.

    • @Chatsu8o
      @Chatsu8o 6 років тому +6

      Not to be blut but... No. Knots are specifically defined to be 1 nautical mile PER HOUR. See here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_(unit)
      If you change that, you're changing the very definition of what a knot is.
      Edit: and it most definitely IS NOT a measure of distance. The "nautical mile" is the measure of distance within a knot. But the knot ties the distance and the time together to form a unit of speed.

    • @PaulAnthonyDuttonUk
      @PaulAnthonyDuttonUk 6 років тому +3

    Before doing aerobatics in an aircraft, make sure the engine can do negative g’s. Most engines are not rated for negative g’s and the engine will quit or cause damage when inverted. The RV-8 is only rated when you get the correct engine with inverted systems for fuel and oil. The turbo prop also may or may not be rated for negative g’s also.

      I suggest you upgrade your intellect Ed Crew. There has been widespread use of the term "knots per hour" going back over four hundred years by some very eminent voyagers. Admiral George Anson used the term in his book Anson's Voyage Round the World (1748), Captain James Cook used the expression in his book Voyages, (1790), Charles Darwin, used the term in his book The Voyage of the Beagle, (1839), and these are the top echelon of nautical people of their times.

      As a conclusion I want to add that obviously the unit "knot" means "nautical mile per hour" which is a bit unprecise. But at the same time you have to admit, that "knot" in its original utilization wasn't a distance either. I mean a knot was just a thingy in a line you threw into the water. So even back then they called it knot but instead should have called it "distance between two knots" which obviously seemed a bit too complicated I guess.
      But today a "knot" in relation to the SI system is well defined and the usage here was wrong.
