The kind of people at the heart of light EAB are are absolutely ‘salt of the earth’, relatable, smart and genuine as well as being just very interesting folks.
I've always looked at the Chinook with curiosity, but not a real buying drive. Well that as radically changed with this video. Serious people doing a serious work. Add to that the well known features of this air craft. I'm sold. 🙂 Thanks for the video. ;-)
When you're new as I am, the CO$T's blow the mind somewhat & the prices don't include assembly so there's a lot of hours of work to get this package buttoned up for flight. This is one of the better kits I've seen, of course I know nothing but I do know I like the metal(tube -n- flat), how it's attached, and all incorporated into a strong unit. Believing in a product is like so important & I do believe in this one. Wish I could afford her.... perhaps one day. peace & great video
Love this little plane🤗 ... and it is great that a Tall Person rebuilt this design, and a Rotax 912 👍 , if I could get my 3rd class back I'd be flying one of these.... nice shop tour.
Amen, the tall person sentiment. I,m 6'5" and 280lb this is actually a "big", small a/c. Not cheap by any means. Has to be a more affordable power plant that is adaptable.
I'll have to take Rotax .. I was amazed at how small this engine is first time I got close to one at Oshkosh back in '18 and some things just cost a bit more when you stamp "Aircraft" on the data plate🤨and lots of these are available used /rebuilt at a reduced price.... very dependable and trusted engine.
I live in East Tennessee and there’s tons of small private airfields all across the Appalachian Mountains here and in North Carolina. To me it seems that critical points would be range and achievable altitude because a lot of the fields are in the mountains.
@@WX4CB I keep thanking electric range extenders would be really cool for ultralights. Just magnet a couple to the underside of the wings, or wherever is clever. That way you can have the gas motor always running at optimal RPM. I sort of remember something about one of the first ultralights actually had a folding propeller. Theoretically you can make the range extenders all-in-one units battery, propeller, everything. I know they have automatic tabs you can just slap on a Cessna, to give it plug-and-play AIO autopilot. Similar concept, except electric motors instead of tabs. So extra power and autopilot (assuming you have two of them for differential thrust).
@@WX4CBDan Reynolds flys a Rotax Rick 670 that puts out 95hp. It’s a 2 stroke and I hear that number is conservative. It not a 582, it’s actually a engine off a sled from my understanding. But Rick converted them to a Aircraft engine with dual plugs and ignition. I believe the Chinook will handle the 100hp. Now Dan’s little competition bird is modified and I don’t know what he had to do in order to make his Chinook handle 95hp. That would be a question for Dan. I believe I have his email and number if you want to talk to him. I would have to check…🇺🇸🦅
I'd certainly be interested in a Chinnok with slats & flaps if it ever becomes available. I suppose there is some type of agreement while Dan Reynolods is competing in STOL competitions, but those extra mods would make the Chinnok a lot more desirable. They would make a safer airplane, too. Nice they have the improved landing gear at this time not to mention the many other less noticeable improvements.
Nice .. really nice little bird 🤩 .. which makes me wonder if they ship these kits overseas as well?? .. haven't seen anything like that up here in Europe 🤔
What landing/taxi light is that under the nose? Do you have any feedback for it. How will it work after a year or so since many cheap brands lose their brightness quite a lot after the first year.
I like this video because he explains more about the flight characteristics of this aircraft. Start to understand that this is not something a low time pilot should be jumping into without proper training. One of the problems with experimental especially these pusher type aircraft not much training available. I know they were providing some training wonder if the new owners if they ever get the factory going again will provide that.
The website says they sold the company and retired. New owners claim they are moving it and will start production back up when it gets moved. Now that I see it's been 6 months since this post sounds like chances of production starting back up are less and less. Not surprising with the cost of labor these days just too much to continue to produce something at the price points people expect. Have to price them for the financial demographic of the customer. The kind of person who can afford to spend 30-40k at most flying.
@@hillbilly4christ638 "World's Slowest Chinook Aircraft!" How is it deceptive? Is the Moyes Dragonfly made by the same company? Are they the same "style" of aircraft or 2 separate models/manufacturers?
When the prices were up on the website it started in the high 20's no engine included. The DR and SJ were mid 30's none of those have an engine included. There is one on Barnstormer right now I think he wanted in the 50's with a 912 engine.

Excellent video Bryan. Interesting airplane also. I’d like to check this out.
This is so useful, first proper look (for me) at the SJ, thanks John and EA!

i wonderi fyou could put the 912 uls on there instead of the 80 horse. that should give you enough oomph

Wow so nice piece aircraft I love you chinok
Very very nice people and company and plane. Outside my budget but still very nice. Maybe I will make an RC version of it one day.

Think how light it could be with composites.

Very well done.

very nice and well thought out plane

Beautiful airplane, I want one! (BTW, ?coolant tank yellow cap , top cracked? -from tightening)
are these Chinnok available in Australia??
a unique aircraft!
can you or will you do a video on used chinook ?
I've seen some really impressive electric ultralight prototypes that couldn't fight a stiff breeze.
then there's the rolls royce prop single that hits 345mph

Where is the company website and sales department? All links do not work
Well.... that's new.
I did see or read that it was possibly for sale
Will make some calls. Soon.
@@ExperimentalAircraftChannelThank you. Please let us know the result if you get the information

I’m ready to buy. How do I do it?
I would love to be able to afford one of these .
stalls at 35mph? the Moyes Dragonfly stall at 20mph. mainly used for hang glider tows.
So what?
@@kenjones2973 look at the title. Deceptive title. A modified version of this frame delivers the performance.
The Bloop 4 and similar designs have a stall speed around 20 also.

If you put a rotor on it you would have a gyrocopter.

Knock off the pulsing bass noise in the intro. Just distracting.
Bloody good critical analysis, going right to the heart of this presentation. Don't know where we would be without you Gary.

Just remember the Britts. are still not happy 'cause they lost the conflict here back in 1775 -6 ......or there abouts.🤔.
@@robertlafnear7034 The "Brits lost the conflict" before it was even over??
P.S. "There abouts" is more like 1783...or there abouts...LOL!
