I was concerned about the aerobatic weight limit of 1,375lbs limiting me to solo aerobatics, but videos like this make me think the RV6 can handle it! Am I just overthinking?
Fantastic. I've always dreamed of building an RV-6, now I see why they are so popular! I did a flight like that in a Pitts once and lost my breakfast. Your co-pilot has a tougher stomach than I do!
this is hilarious, the dude keeps making faces like they are pulling some crazy Gs in a fighter jet and the girl is sitting there laughing and giggling. Thats like a rockstar caught lip sinking man! lol
Excellent crisp and clear video. Nice flying also! My high school students (McKinney ISD in Texas) are preparing to build an RV-12 (no it doesn't do aero) this fall as part of Eagle's Nest Projects. Did you build the RV-6 too?
My dad has a luscombe, a cub, and a citabria. I am 16 and want to get my pilots licence. My dad used to take me out doing aerobatics in the citabria but sadly had an aortic dissection and nearly died. The FAA actually doesn't include this as a heart problem so legally he is allowed to fly. I really want to get an RV6 and we are hoping to sell at least the luscombe.
Fala Helio, na boa? Então, na verdade não sou eu pilotando... sou paraquedista e durante um evento nosso, houve a presença deste piloto por lá... que acabou saltando com esta moça, outra paraquedista amiga nossa. Na ocasião (em 2012) filmamos e depois editei o vídeo. Na época este piloto (Felipe Mencacci) tinha 12 anos de experiência, mas não sei realmente onde ou com quem ele aprendeu. Abraços!
os zucas sao os Reis a dar nome aos filhos no registo !! Denise SUPERTRAMP hahahaha when i was young feel my life was so wonderfull!! a miracle how it was beatufil magical XD
I'm not sure I would video aerobics with a passenger and no parachutes, and certainly not make it UA-cam public............. But that's just me, I like my certificate
I hate to seem like a stick in the mud, but it doesn't appear either of these two happy RV-6 users are wearing parachutes, or aerobatic helmets, while they enjoy cavorting about doing low-level aerobatics. Ask a professional airshow pilot whether they'd do what these two young adults and he/she would probably say HELL NO.! So what do they knowm that these two young people don't seem to grasp?
Heaven forbid I should try to offer an informed opinion on what I see. I'm taling aviatiuon safety and all you've got is a childish comment about his/her sex life! Am I supposed to give a rat's ass whether he got some mobambo that night?
+Douglas McIntyre It's about the bigger picture mate. It's a risk/benefit analysis and he comes out a winner. If he fucks up they are both dead either way.
+Douglas McIntyre Parachutes aren't going to save you at that alt. Also I don't think I'd want to bail out and have my plane kill a bunch of people and still be alive. Aerobatic helmets, probably a good point.
You're entitled to your opinion, but I think your basic opinion is reckless and ill-considered, Joshua. Every professional airshow pilot wears a helmet and is strapped to a seat parachute for every performance, because over time they learned that they save more lives and make fewer widows and fatherless children that way than flying without them. The parachute is somewhat akin to naval/air force/Marineejector seats fighter pilots use, when bailing out is the only option left to them. A classic example was the ejection of a RCAF fighter pilot at the Lethbridge, Alberta airport while practicing a stunt that went very wrong. He had just enough time to recognize the problem, punch out and survive after his aircraft went out of control just a few hundred feet above terra firma. The right afterburner of his F/A-18 failed to operate properly after he went to full power after a practice high alpha pass, causing so much yaw rate to the starboard side that he had no option by bail out.. The same is true for most combat pilots of the first world war and every air force/naval fighter jock or bomber crewman since. It is like a get-out of jail free card for aviators. So what do they all know, that this young pilot, enraptured with aerobatics but lacking the experience and judgement of professional airmen, does not? These two young people in the RV are a couple of foolish young people who don't know what they don't know; they have no concept of how dangerous low-level aerobatics can be. Every year even highly experienced military and civilian show pilots kill or injure themselves doing low-level stunts. Finally, how long do you think these two hot dogs will last as pilots, if they continue to do aerobatics near the ground without parachutes and helmets? One of the great maxims of flight is that there are lots of old pilots, some bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots. Think about that for a while Josh.
+Douglas McIntyre Thank you for your considered response. However I wasn't taking issue with the helmets thing. Ejection seats are fantastic as long as no one is killed in the process by the aircraft, I've seen the video of the very one you talk about. I would just like to make the point that these people will not have an increased chance of survival (if you do think it has an increase in chance of survival then you misjudge the reaction speed and how long it takes to bail out safely) with a parachute while doing low level aerobatics. If there is a problem with the plane they are better off flying it into an empty space rather than bailing out and it hitting someone's house. Yes people wear parachutes during combat because they have little regard for the people they are bombing and I would concede that most of the time aircraft do not impact civilians. However I feel that it is selfish to take a risk (ie aerobatics) and then include the general public in the risk as well. You would have my full support to take a parachute if you were doing the aeros over empty desert but most people don't have that option. Now the people in question are wreckless due to the low aerobatics in close proximity to houses. My opinion isn't wreckless because I would never do aerobatics in close proximity to other people or low to the ground. My lack of a parachute is only a risk to me and prevents me from getting out and letting others die. Lastly saying that every professional aerobatic pilot wears a parachute is categorically incorrect.
That girl flew like a boss! Never stopped smiling in spite of all the aero! Good flying!

Chris Snyder Hahahah! ;)
Really great video, excellent flying and what a nice co-pilot you have...she is cool.
Awesome Video! Good ones like this are hard to find!
Great Plane - Great flight - Great Film !
Thank You 4 sharing !!!
This is one of my favorite tubes. He's one good stick, makes it look easy.
Love this film - just pure fun! Best film I've seen of aeros in Vans aircraft. More please!
That was fantastic! Love the look on her face:)
Absolutely Fantastic! Gotta love the 6!
Currenlty building a 6 and this motivates me to hurry and finnish!
Just absolutely awesome.
I have my mind set on the RV-10, you're making me reconsider.
this is hilarious, the dude keeps making faces like they are pulling some crazy Gs in a fighter jet and the girl is sitting there laughing and giggling. Thats like a rockstar caught lip sinking man! lol
??? a spin is a spin, stalls are stalls, she was laughing which helps, try it some time
show demais a pilotagem! parabéns!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Jerry Ashton Hi Jerry! Thanks for your comment! I don't know how this one was built, but you can ask this pilot: Facebook.com/felipe.roizmencacci
Aviao muito estável show mesmo
my God this looks fun
She’s adorable.
This video is awesome.
Yes!!!! i was doing that his morning in my plane, yes!!! love the video!
My dad has a luscombe, a cub, and a citabria. I am 16 and want to get my pilots licence.

Very Nice.
Great video!
Thanks, Stu! o/
Great choice of music.
Awesome
Muito bom o video!! Pilota a quanto tempo, onde aprendeu a fazer essas acrobacias??

very nice. I hesitate to do anything like this in my -9A.

Brilliant !:-)
What manufacturer harness are you using? 4 or 5pt ? Inverted oil/fuel? Nice flying and video.
Hi Barrett! The infos that I got from the pilot (it's not me) Aircraft: Vans RV-6
Engine: 180 HP Lycoming, Inverted Flight System.
Thank you for the info!
Great flying but I would recommend parachutes and hopefully inverted fuel and oil system on that R V-6.
No one has EVER left an RV in 50 years by parachute. So parachute doesn't add much. Ever tried to open the slider in flight? It won't.
Never saw the plane from the outside
@gill_m the -9 isn't rated for aerobatics
Do it! =D
Nem a pau Juvenal.
Hell yeah, hahahah! Reply me with videos ;)
I'm not sure I would video aerobics with a passenger and no parachutes, and certainly not make it UA-cam public............. But that's just me, I like my certificate
