I love the concept. Seems that it would add a level of comfort and controllability to straddle it. Being a horse guy, I would for sure be trying to steer the thing with my legs.
Thanks! Its takes a while to get going in aviation. If you keep at it it long enough, the day comes tou just roll out your airplane and take to the skies! Good luck in your journey!
This is an airbike. I have no idea what a new one would cost. This particular aircraft is soon going up for sale. If you are interested you can email me at kidkhaos@kidchaosconcepts.com
I bought it already built. I can tell you from following build that you can spend a serious amount of cash on these. I saw a 2 place Light Sport build go over $60k. If you want the best bang for your buck in a high wing tractor configuration, check out the affordaplane. If you want an excellent deal on a chromoly fuselage kit, check out Badland Aircraft. Chris has dialed in the nicest flying ultralight that actually makes weight, looks, and flies like an actual airplane. The badland is my top recommendation at rhis time.
The most common cause of a crash is pilot error. If you receive proper training, you can heavily mitigate that risk. As far as mechanical problems, the biggest worry is an engine failure. If you have been properly trained, you will be ready for that and know how to handle the situation properly. Given the slow speed of these, I think an emergency landing is probably a lower risk than in a bigger aircraft. You dont need nearly the amount of room to land, giving you the most emergency landing options. When you arrive at the ground, you won't be going as fast, so you should sustain less injury. With proper training and maintenance, I consider myself pretty safe.
I don't think so personally. It's a little more involved than riding a motorcycle, I suppose. I took lessons to learn to fly, i would highly recommend anyone else do the same
The wires are crimped properly at this point anyway. They don't provide any support, only stabilize the tail. The original design didn't have them at all, they were later added to improve handling.
@@kidkhaos6427 if you reverse kink the wires in a wire rope you have decreased strength greatly. I wouldn't trust my life on a risk that can easily be remedied, but you have free will. Fly high, and good luck to you!
@@scottjohnson7466 they aren't a trust your life cable. They are make your airplane fly a little better cables. Also the are crimped now and no longer clamped as stated above.
@@kidkhaos6427 great machine. I was gonna express a concern about the cable grips not being crimped but you’ve done that. I know of a flexwing used by a school and the crimp on their new wing cable gave way ( wrong rope/crimp combo) the wing folded up and went through the roof of a barn, on take off. Just about survived. Lucky it wasn’t at height cos they had no reserve system,
@@thpxs0554 As I previously stated I was never in any danger. This airplane was flown prior to me owning it without those cables there at all. They in no way support the wings. They only improve the handling by stabilizing the tail of the airplane a bit, the fuselage is kind of springy. I'm not sure I have ever seen another airbike with these cables. While the clamps are ugly, they were more than sufficient for the purpose they were used for. I appreciate everyone's concern for my safety.

Love❤ from India🇮🇳.
living the dream❤
your surrounding is really beautiful
Surreal video work man! Can't wait to do it myself.
Thanks! Its takes a while to get going in aviation. If you keep at it it long enough, the day comes tou just roll out your airplane and take to the skies!
Good luck in your journey!
Great video Chris. How does the airbike compare to the aerolite as far as ease of flying? Are they similar?
Such a cool little ultra light
Thank you for the nice video. What is the exact name of the aircraft and how much does this bird cost?

Now that’s flying! Bully for you!
How much was it to build that thing? Was that from a set of plans or a kit? Thanks for the great content!

nice landing
They aren't all pretty but I'll take a few good ones 😅
Question. How is safety on these things? What are the risks and odds of crashing? I’m completely new to this but it looks really cool

Such a nice little plane, I might have to pick me one of these up...
I really enjoy mine! A guy in my club has a few kits ready to be assembled when you are ready!
@@kidkhaos6427im ready
If the engine goes week he could stil land safely by I gliding down?
I wonder if you can get tundra tires to land on the beach or floats. Alaskan
Surely! Check out my aerolite 103, this tires would be great for the beach!
I'm thinking about buying one , I've always wanted to fly and I'm mechanically inclined, is it really hard to fly??
I don't think so personally. It's a little more involved than riding a motorcycle, I suppose. I took lessons to learn to fly, i would highly recommend anyone else do the same
that is a lot of fun looks cool
This is awesome!!
Thanks its tons of fun!
Good video and a nice airplane. I believe I detected some slight wind noise when you switched to the tail camera.
Yeah, that pesky propeller keeps blasting air at my cameras! 😆
Live to fly...Fly to live. !
Pitch Yaw and Roll...lift thrust drag and gravity.. ahhh yes the return of "WHATS REAL" !!!
Yessir!
Saudações desde Brasil, gostei muito desse modelo de avião, gostaria de saber qual é a envergadura dele, e qual é o peso final dele, obrigado.
Looks like fun
I've seen the website couple years ago. I would love to have one
I want one!!
Fricking awesome!
Hey thanks dude!
Love this plane I'm gonna get a Top Rudder someday
I want a badland from my boy Chris!
@@kidkhaos6427 they are cool as hell
@@jamesordwayultralightpilot yes sir! Chris is a heck of a guy also. He had really poured a lot of effort into building an awesome airplane!
Do you still own the Airbike?
What is that silver sylinder behind the seat ??
Auxiliary fuel tank.
@@kidkhaos6427 im tried to reach them to purchase the plans -do they have e-mail

Hello bro you are create a plane

DONT LIKE THE LANDING GEAR VIBRATE A LOT AND MANY FAILED ON LANDING NEED MORE BARS IN FOR STABILITY AND SAFETY.
Spoken like a true engineer.
@@kidkhaos6427 Yes i am thank you
