Thanks, Mike! Watching your videos is always fun and informative. I've been a pilot for over 30 years but I always learn about all of the new, cool stuff from my UA-cam buddy Mike! Keep up the great work.
Some errors made in the specs for The Revelaero Voodoo aircraft. These planes come in 3 different models: 1. Talon - will have a piston engine 80 HP 2. Stryker - will have a piston engine 150 HP 3. Voodoo - will have a jet engine. This is the only model that can be fitted with a jet engine. We’ll have an in-depth look on the prototype this weekend. Leave your comments below.
Japan is a small island country. It is also a collection of many islands. So, I think the demand for waterplanes is great, but I think there are fewer waterplanes. The comfort of Japan's unique high-speed rail (Shinkansen) is the best.
伊藤英助 Very few people own planes in america. Flying from A to B in a general aviation airplane is really only reserved for the rich or top 1%. Most people just drive, or fly commercial airlines.
I know you favor low-wing aircraft but a high-wing Sling does seem like a dream come true. Easier ingress / egress, better view looking down and in the pattern, protection in rain :-)
Agreed. Low wing looks sexier but give me the high wing any day of the week! I’ll happily make due with losing 5 knots given the upsides. Don’t forget protection from the sun as well. 😉
There is a reason most bush planes are tail draggers. You can see it in the video of the trike. The prop tends to hit things. Tail dragger once the tail is down the prop is up out of range of most stuff.
Nice videos buddy i really liked them and stuff any chances of doing a video on available Ultralight planes in Canada keep me posted along with price etc. Thanks
I really like the X-Project Talon, Man oh Man! I wonder what Jet engine is going to be used here? Nice presentation I subscribed So .. keep up the great work!
Thanks for the video. I realize, unfortunately, just because a vehicle requires less maintenance or cheaper to make won't stop companies from increasing prices to maintain profit.
That voodoo looks fun but I’d prefer a Velocity/Cozy. Mike have you considered using knots for speed in videos? I know some viewers wouldn’t get it but I’d love it
The best part Tyler is they want it to train people in. So with the charge time every time you get done with your first student, how many students can you train in a day? I mean if it runs for 45 minutes and it takes 8 hours to charge it, you can only train maybe 2 people in a day.
Cool Videos.. My father is building a Decota Hawk. Almost done... I look forward to getting some air time in it! Great information you are sharing... Thanks Brother!
Very interesting bro!! I missed Oshkosh. Glad you were there. Man, I'm trying to design a 2 place high wing jet canard w/lavatory. 400 mph 2000 mile range with BAR recovery etc. It's fun and things change everytime I pick up mouse. Any suggestions???
Could you at least put the knots as text on the screen when you mention the speeds? I have no idea about mph, and it's hard to compare it with other airplane since knots is usually the unit used in aviation.
Daniel Lebron I am but it doesn’t matter, nobody outside the US is using mph in aviation, we adopted to the imperial knots already from the much more logical metric system. Not willing to learn a third unit of reference.
The aviation in the US has adopted the knots as the standard way of measuring speed, but Mike tries to talk to the rest of the US who are not yet pilots. 1.15 MPH = 1 knot. Just take the MPH and divide it by 1.15. Good luck!
Mike at 1:17 you made a statement that does not compute; you don't use gasoline for the Bristell but you use batteries and the power density of battery is 40 times less than that of gasoline. In airplanes weight control is the king. And how many hours does it take to recharge the batteries and electricity is not cheap. Also $150.000 airplane that has a flight time of 45 minutes is totally uneconomical no matter how you butter it.
First, this is the second great video of new, different, and cutting edge of new aircraft you've shown in as many weeks; really great content. Help me out, though. I thought you said the Voodoo variants were upward of $100k but the list typed under the UA-cam screen says $37k. What's the actual price for Voodoo variants?
I’ve been flying for 10 years and That’s why I still love my Pa 32-300. I can out carry most singles and still cruise at 135-140knt. How come I don’t see a review of a true beast of the Cherokee’s?
I watched this to see if any of the promised aircraft arrived - in 2022, two years after they were due - because the teaser image didn't. *Bristell H55* : no, delayed to mid-2022 (which means maybe never) *Darkaero 1* : no, manufacturer still offers only "reservations" *X-Project Revelaero* : this company doesn't even have a website, but from their Facebook page they seem to be working on a prototype... even though it's just yet another variation on the VariEze *Sling TSi Highwing* : the first flight of the prototype was in December 2020, so even if you can buy the kit now, it didn't make the promised schedule *Cubcrafters NX* : this is just tricycle version of an existing aircraft So as usual, none of the "this is what you can buy in year XXXX" products actually appeared, except for a trivial variant of an existing product.
Any performance numbers in the experimental and light sport market need to be taken with a big grain of salt, at least until the plane’s actually been released and has some real world hours in owner hands.
Please do a follow up next year with prices and which airplanes were actually produced. On the electri plane I was on a lesson with my instructor in the airport area and a plane crashed on the runway and the airport was closed so even though we had been up for and hour w just did some more airwork for a half hour or so and could have gone to another airport as we had 4 hours worth of fuel. 45 min nope.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only change form...batteries still require charging and the cost to fully charge an electric airplane isn’t going to differ much from that of a gasoline powered one in terms of unit cost/hour of flight. Overall maintenance should be reduced and emissions are nil. The trade off is not knowing the effective life of the very heavy batteries or how they will alter flight characteristics...
I would suggest a full review of RV12is 3 blades prop / a lot of people are building this model including me and I was wondering if someone did a review about it. Thank you
Its not fair that so little information is known for what is claimed, new airplanes for 2020. Options, pricing, stall/ cruising speed, range, take off distance should always be available. Also can not figure out why on earth new planes don''t introduce VGs on wings as standard options, especially for lowering landing speeds in rural areas.
I cant believe its almost the tern of the century damb neer the year 2020 and we still are flying around in primitive bullshit like that looks likes some shit we where flying around in back in tha day 1970 to tha 1980s or 90s exept the milliterry where only permitted to fly them they are still using hand me down blueprints from the government and or military.
Wade Parker yep that’s why experimentals like vans are so popular. It’s worth the time to build it and have an actually new plane. Add a parachute too while you’re at it.
Why don’t they make a sling aircraft with retractable gear it will look so much better and will be faster may be a little heavier but still a better airplane I think.
I'm not sure, you may need to be specific. Rotax engines are currently being flown in about 80% of LSA market. The only issue I know with the newest 915 was an exhaust valve callback and that's already been addressed.
@@mojogrip thanks mike was just some postings out there that had me wondering if rotax was reliable After all you cant just pull over if the engine quits
Great aircraft. But the average person couldn't possibly afford one of these. Make the sales market much more affordable, that would make the market much more competitive.
I doubt their drop tanks, I mean... where would you drop them, over enemy territory, over a farmers field, some random unoccupied landscape, water? and then what... send a car or boat to retrieve them or just forget about them? 1 it's littering and 2 I doubt they would survive impact. Then what, do you have 20 pairs of these things stacked on the wall cause they only cost $5 a drop tank when you buy in bulk??? Edit: after thinking about it a bit, they could be removable tanks for maintenance, refueling or replacing when on the ground.
The X-Project will probably roll out by Reno next year, they're looking to basically jumpstart a new Class of Sport Jet, with the success of the Sonex Jet the last couple of years they think thete will be enough interest. In reality? I doubt well see one in the wild before laye 2021 or 22. There's a Lot of innovation going on with these tiny Turbines though, theres a load of potential

0:09 It makes me so happy to see those planes are so happy to be outside and not stuck in a hangar
I love the Xcub airplane. I could take this plane almost anywhere. I love how you can land on grass. That's incredible
I'm a big fan of Rutan VariEZE and LongEZ but, man, this Voodoo is simply gorgeous!
@elmo Ditto, been eyeing the Cozy Mark IV, but that Voodoo has me under her spell.

Do you know the range and payload of the Voodoo?
Like your videos Mike. I always give you props and thumbs up. I'm going to get my license this year
Thank you for always nice videos. In Japan where I live, it is not common to own an airplane. I look forward to your video.
Because it's a small island and yall have high speed rail.

That's boring...in america almost everyone over 21 owns an airplane.
Its Not common in the USA either, In fact, a very tiny % of our Population fly Private Planes..

Agreed. Low wing looks sexier but give me the high wing any day of the week! I’ll happily make due with losing 5 knots given the upsides. Don’t forget protection from the sun as well. 😉
Tell you knock yourself out walking under the wrong part of the wing. I did it in my friends Cessna 177 cardinal and even he has done it several times
The high wing Sling seems like a competitor to the GlasStar Sportsman or strutless Cessna 177 Cardinal.
The last plane looks dope! I am a country kid would love to buy one. Amazing video thanks mate!
There is a reason most bush planes are tail draggers. You can see it in the video of the trike. The prop tends to hit things. Tail dragger once the tail is down the prop is up out of range of most stuff.

I'm so looking forward to the Sling TSi High Wing! Thanks for the info!
I really like the X-Project Talon, Man oh Man! I wonder what Jet engine is going to be used here? Nice presentation I subscribed So .. keep up the great work!
Range anxiety would prevent me from buying an electric aircraft right now, but the future looks bright.
Rutan was a GENIUS but he had NO STYLE.
These are COOL
Thanks for the video. I realize, unfortunately, just because a vehicle requires less maintenance or cheaper to make won't stop companies from increasing prices to maintain profit.
RESPECT TO YOUR WORK MOJOGRIP
That X-cub looks like the happiest plane in the sky!
Thanks for the awesome vids Mike, sub'd!
That voodoo looks fun but I’d prefer a Velocity/Cozy.
Mike have you considered using knots for speed in videos? I know some viewers wouldn’t get it but I’d love it
I can't imagine wanting an airplane that only has 45 minutes of flight time. That's less than safety reserves for fuel.
The best part Tyler is they want it to train people in. So with the charge time every time you get done with your first student, how many students can you train in a day? I mean if it runs for 45 minutes and it takes 8 hours to charge it, you can only train maybe 2 people in a day.
It would make a good touch and go bird. Only problem is at the price listed, you can buy a fleet of old Cessna 172's.
Yeah, and also what about endurance mixture leaning practice?
I just wouldn't feel comfortable in a plane that had such limited air time. There may be factors im not aware of here that would mitigate that.
@@user8ZAKC1X6KC Agreed. There's a certain warm cozy feeling when you know your flight time is 2 hours, but you've got 7 hours of fuel on board!
Oshkosh, Haven for Huksters.
Still remember Tony Team and the Fox Jet....
Mike- Nice job on all you reviews of new machines. I love your enthusiasm and knowledge for light aircraft.
Cool Videos.. My father is building a Decota Hawk. Almost done... I look forward to getting some air time in it! Great information you are sharing... Thanks Brother!
Just found your channel Mike...kudos, keep em coming...
Very interesting bro!! I missed Oshkosh. Glad you were there.
Man, I'm trying to design a 2 place high wing jet canard w/lavatory. 400 mph 2000 mile range with BAR recovery etc. It's fun and things change everytime I pick up mouse. Any suggestions???
Try design something you can actually afford to build test and fly.
Piaggio avanti..😆
H55 circuit trainer? Sorry but rather not. Striker sounds ok but need one more seat. Nx Cub is a win for utility - I like.
i love these episodes, thank you...
That NXCUB looks like a very happy little airplane with a face like that.
Maybe you can "buy" in 2020, but you'll be lucky if they actually turn up by 2025..
Could you at least put the knots as text on the screen when you mention the speeds? I have no idea about mph, and it's hard to compare it with other airplane since knots is usually the unit used in aviation.
So if you are asking that kind of info you are not a pilot.
Google it 🤔😂
Daniel Lebron I am but it doesn’t matter, nobody outside the US is using mph in aviation, we adopted to the imperial knots already from the much more logical metric system. Not willing to learn a third unit of reference.
@@daniellebron8127 I read certain comments and I KNOW, someone is going to let this person have it! You...were that person today! :)

A agree I would prefer to hear the speed in knots not MPH.
My general reaction is ... the Sling should have had a much more robust nose-wheel assembly. Otherwise, pretty nice.
My general reaction is that you are an ass .
I truly enjoyed the video, but not $400K for X-Cub ! Made my head to spin.
Nice vid mike, loved the Cub.
Great content. Interesting!
I know nothing about planes or flying, but I saw an Icon A5 plane that I really liked!
I just love aeroplanes I love flying so I subscribe your channel to ❤✈❤✈❤❤✈❤😍🥰🤩😁😀👌👌👍👍
You've gotta give the cruise speeds in TAS and IAS instead of mph.
Not another one! Either or, fast is fast.
Fantastic review thank you for the video
Is there is any flying clubs using electric plane for training ?
Mike, you sound very similar to Rich from Rich Rebuilds. Love your channel!
You should do one for 2021.
Im def excited for that high wing TSI

I thought you said the Voodoo variants were upward of $100k but the list typed under the UA-cam screen says $37k. What's the actual price for Voodoo variants?
Gotta to check out the websites. 37 might be base kit without firewall forward. Plus avionics can easily be 2500 to North of 25000.

What do you burn? 14 GPH?
14-15
Great video Mike, 😎👍
Could you talk about the raptor aircraft?
Perhaps a 200mph Piper Cub type crop duster.

I think the performance numbers on some these need to be looked at skeptically. 3000fpm climb on 150hp? Yeah, if the plane weighs next to nothing.
Any performance numbers in the experimental and light sport market need to be taken with a big grain of salt, at least until the plane’s actually been released and has some real world hours in owner hands.
Hi Mike, we've been enjoying your videos. Do you ever review gyro copters?
Thanks Blake. I've reviewed 1 or 2 on the channel.

Have you ever considered using punctuation? Like commas and periods? Makes your thoughts much easier to understand.
@@davem5333 Fair Point, I should probably proofread also.
Have you looked up Synergy Aircraft? They are very unique and amazing. Would love to see a video from you on them!
Love the smiling face on the NX Cub :-)
The NX Cub looks like a re-born Tri-Pacer!
Energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only change form...batteries still require charging and the cost to fully charge an electric airplane isn’t going to differ much from that of a gasoline powered one in terms of unit cost/hour of flight. Overall maintenance should be reduced and emissions are nil. The trade off is not knowing the effective life of the very heavy batteries or how they will alter flight characteristics...
great Video - Thanks !!
Thanks for the information great
Cool, nice video.
One note: the NXCub has a 210 hp engine, while the normal XCub has 180 hp
So we can expect the XCub to be a little faster
Will it be that much faster with that nose wheel catching the wind vs the smooth tail wheel aircraft.
I would suggest a full review of RV12is 3 blades prop / a lot of people are building this model including me and I was wondering if someone did a review about it. Thank you
Love you site. Do you ever feature Ultralight Aircraft? Thanks.
Thanks, Mike! Keep it real.

Hi Mike. Please, PLEASE, do a video on electric aircraft.
Electric plane? ... how long does it take to "refuel" ?
Can you do a top 5 single engine aircraft that can fit a motorcycle in it? This will be the true freedom.

Thanks Mike... I'm still dreaming about flying..
Electric motors... not engines... just say'n ... there is a difference Mojo
I was looking for an aircraft where I don't have to rob a bank to afford it.
I don't know why this came up on my recommended list. I ain't got a pot to piss in, nor a window to throw it out of.
I know its just a paint scheme but man i love it 3:40... drop tanks? are they actually used as drop tanks?
I doubt their drop tanks, I mean... where would you drop them, over enemy territory, over a farmers field, some random unoccupied landscape, water? and then what... send a car or boat to retrieve them or just forget about them? 1 it's littering and 2 I doubt they would survive impact. Then what, do you have 20 pairs of these things stacked on the wall cause they only cost $5 a drop tank when you buy in bulk???

Great info Mike!
Not sure who wants an electric only plane, and I don't think it will reduce price as the battery maintenance is way more expensive than fuel.
Revelaero don't even have a website up atm
Some of these seem at the very early concept, they are showing CAD pictures. Mike, will they really be flying by 2020?
The X-Project will probably roll out by Reno next year, they're looking to basically jumpstart a new Class of Sport Jet, with the success of the Sonex Jet the last couple of years they think thete will be enough interest.
