The brilliant thing is that the videos get longer and snarkier the more you actually seem to want the plane.

oh my gosh the writing and humor were so on point in this video 🤣

“So you wanna buy a sonic subsonic jet. That’s jet. As in JET like an actual JET.”

Great span of words right there

This one was SO fun to watch, had me giggling the entire time.

This is the best, most efficient “ a boy can dream “ channel I’ve found yet

Commentary is brilliant. The motorcycle analogy is excellent, nimble, fast and does not loiter in traffic.
Sailplanes are awesome and cost between a few thousand and several hundred thousand but need skill. Some people can stay up and travel hundreds of miles, others just glide back to a landing but is still fun.
Keep up the great work, I look forward to each pithy episode.

Ok, so as someone from a country you have never even heard of, in english it's pronounced something like "Chesskah republica". Also thank you for making these videos, I'm loving them so far!

[chrisseidel]

your absolutely best video yet. "it's recommended that you land before then..." lol. that's good stuff

[nitroscout]

It's definitely the coolest little jet. My Sonex-A always got looks everywhere it went and it was slow 😂

[PetesGuide]

First to watch a second time, 18s after posting! Is that exceptionally fast like the jet?

Serious question for you though — do the plans look like it might be possible to make the wings foldable from a cockpit switch? Really want to replicate that Bond scene IRL!

I saw one of these fly at an air show a couple years ago. It was cool and he flew it around quite a bit.

I don’t understand why I enjoy these, but I do.

[Ispeedymg]

On one hand, expensive.

On the other hand JET.

Thankfully i’m right handed.

Great writing, love your work!

Ps: Could you maybe so dr-400 sometime in the future? I loved to fly that one and would like to buy it some day, if i can afford it!

[benbluestone]

Woooh thank you!!! much awaited video!

[aaronblack]

@complete walkaround, love the content keep it up! Might be just me but there seemed to be some audio peaking in this one.

Also doing a motorglider might be fun to look into! I've been thinking about getting one for a while.

[LeonardoDaVinci]

Oh, hell yes... the hippy missile!! God I love this thing! 😁

[turtleboi-dzjm]

could you do a vid on the DR-400?
great vids btw

You know what would really make this plane stand out? Put two engines on the back with a T-tail configuration like you would see on a Cessna citation or better yet, an A10 warthog configuration.

I really wish they would have designed this to carry a sensible amount of fuel. The endurance is so short that you can barely get anywhere if you include a healthy reserve. I had hopes that the two seat version would fix this, but it looks like they only increased the tank by 20%. Helpful, but not enough.
