      Thanks for making this and the CX7 one. I see these 2 planes as an amazing value, and thanks to David Thatcher and Glenn for bringing them to life.

    Cant really tell this has tandem seating just looking from the outside. Very neat plane.

      Agreed. It is more like +1 from the outside. Sort of like one of those Mustang Aircraft I suppose. Get that SLING built will yah?! ;-)

      Yes, tandem with tons of room for two big/tall guys. A genuine two place plane. Fun!!

      Exactly! I sat in it as well and was surprised of the amount of room there is. Thank you for watching!

    Nice plane. I haven't seen one since the 4. I like a two seat tandem. The engine set up sounds interesting. I wish you offered a kit. Not sure my skill set or shop is up to a scratch build. Great plane! Thanks.

  • @9999plato

    Except for the fact that it's largely scratch built ( I realize some parts are available) this would be my choice for a project. The scratch building makes it more intimidating. I'd love to paint it with an Art Scholl super chipmunk paint scheme since it's fuse reminds me of it.

      I believe that is one of the "Line Gals" out there in the Pensacola FL area. Glen obviously trying to show the fitment of the Tandem Seating in the CX5. Always helpful to have a side-kick in aviation for sure! Thanks for returning to watch and support. I appreciate you!

      @garymyers6638 4 роки тому

      Experimental Aircraft Channel any of the takes wherein you stumble on what you're saying. (Several times in just the first couple minutes. ) Everybody stumbles. Just do another take and deal with it in editing.

  • @garymyers6638
    @garymyers6638 4 роки тому +1

    On the standing shot of the plane owner, do him a favor and shoot from a lower position.

    • @ExperimentalAircraftChannel
      @ExperimentalAircraftChannel  4 роки тому

      Wouldn't that give you a perspective of up his nose? (Taking notes). Thank you for watching!

    • @garymyers6638
      @garymyers6638 4 роки тому

      Experimental Aircraft Channel not really, but it would help take the stoop out of his shoulders. I'm not talking about shooting from knee or waist height. I'm suggesting a place about 10 inches below his chin.

      Also, for a guy with a less than glamorous physique (most of us) it can be a good shot to use a chair.
