    Congrats on such remarkable accomplishment. Not to mention the best paint scheme on this plane so far. Hope to have my own some day. Safe flying.

    I did a very down and dirty sortie cost analysis of this vs another EAB aircraft in a similar price range, but powered more conventionally, based on the scenario of a trip from Scottsdale to Burbank and back, and without accounting for fixed costs, if you pick and choose your fuel stops well, it's only mildly more expensive to operate the subsonex than that piston single. It's lack of fuel to make the whole trip without a couple/few stops means the total time is also fairly close to even, so like every other aircraft, you have to figure out what the mission is before you choose what to build. I think for it's given mission, the "mini A-10" is a triumph! ..., I'll be choosing something that carries more, further, but that doesn't take anything away from the cool factor of the "almost any man's jet." Maybe someday, my mission requirements will change.

      @el_juano : Sooo... for the same trip, similar cost, similar trip time. No brainer, go for the jet and arrive all buzzed-up, with a goofy grin like a teenager at a strip club! 😋 🥴

    Congratulations! This is not on my bucket list but probably should be. How many hours does the little turbojet engine run between overhauls? How old are you? Any medical issues?Do you need a sports pilot license or some kind of jet license?--CCW

    • @markg4459
      @markg4459 6 років тому +1

      TBO (time between overhauls) is only 300 hrs. Not very long. I think you'd likely have to ship the engine back to Chech Rep. for rebuild. Not seen a price for that...may be too early in the lifetime of these aircraft.

    The truly personal jet... at a reasonable price! Anyone price out a nice Corvette lately? I would say this airplane is in the right ballpark. Very cool. Maybe someday if I get far enough out from this cancer to get an initial medical so I can then use BasicMed (it doesn’t help those of us who have never had a medical and would need a special issuance).
    Any way to make a Light Sport jet?

    Congrats on a gorgeous machine, beautifully executed. I agree - best paint scheme so far! Two questions. 1- does the jet engine prevent you from certain fields due to noise regs (I.e. Does it fall into traditional Chapter 2, 3, other, etc or is it exempt?) 2- anything about the design preclude installing a ballistic recovery system?

    I’ll consider two, one in red the other in shiny gloss black.
    Please also add a 20mm Gatling gun in the nose and at least 4 sidewinders, 2 under each wing. Oh, yeah, you might wanna change out the jet for a slightly more powerful one, since I’m adding a bit of extra weight with my extra options.

    • @mill2712
      @mill2712 Рік тому

      I can see this having 50 cal to 20mm guns but a sidewinder might be too heavy. You might have to settle with dumb rocket pods instead.
