5 AMAZING Aircraft Showing At Airventure

As we all gear up for the greatest aviation life event that is Airventure, here are some of the experimental aircraft make and model we can all get excited about. These airplanes are wither new to the market or they are getting a nice makeover in design and or performance. Here are the 5 airplanes I’m personally looking forward to seeing at Oshkosh.

1. Lancair Mako - Many of us are already well familiar with the Lancair kit airplanes. one of the first in the game to design and build fast cross country airplanes that is affordable. Well Lancair has also gone through several financial woes over the years. Most recently in 2017, they sold all assets of the company or what’s left of it to Mark and Conrad Huffsutler, a father/son duo who later brought to market the Lancair Mako. Most notable feature about the latest Lancair model is it’s retractable landing nose wheel.

2. Commuter Craft - Commuter craft is an experimental kit plane designed by Richard Hogan. The company is based down in Catersville GA. Although we have the flying prototype of the airplane which has been showcased for a few years now, word is that the company is redesigning a few things on the aircraft and they plane to show some of the new modifications at this year’s EAA Airventure.

3. Sling 4 iS - Another great kit airplane designed by SouthAfrican company The Airplane Factory. TAF is also based here in the US, and their latest kit build airplane is a true 4 seater powered by a small rotax 914 engine. With many sentiment about the airplane being under powered, TAF listened and they plan to showcase a newly redesigned Sling 4 which will have a more powerful Rotax 915 engine, with better speeds and better climb rate. The extra 35 horsepower is attached to turbo chargers so you get 100% power delivery until 15,000 feet. Amazing fit by Rotax. well look forward to the new Sling at Airventure.

4. Vans RV-14 - Most of us know about Van RV kit build airplanes. They are true cross country birds and Vans have a model airplane for just about any mission you have. The RV-14 is Van's latest model which is a 2 seater, but a lot of the build is directly inline with the BIG RV-10 4 seater airplane. So you have a lot of the same flight characteristics plus a wider cabin. but the best part is that you can do aerobatics in the new RV-14.

5. VL3 Evolution - VL3 evolution is a light airplane from European company JMB. Naturally this airplane would be considered a light sport aircraft because of it's size and useful load. But since JMB is providing an option to have retractable landing gear, this aircraft is no longer an LSA. That automatically puts it in the experimental category because here in the US, LSAs can only have fixed landing gears. Either way, I'm super excited about this aircraft.

back when mojo grip didnt talk over his videos only the ogs know

[DanFrederiksen]

The VL3 is the most interesting plane. 2400km range, high speed and fuel efficient. And relatively inexpensive finish built and retractable gear. Only rivaled by Risen.

[blucklightfoxartinnovation]

nice video mojo grip well done a+

[veerkar]

Mike you are a rockstart. You have a career in youtube. That soundtrack is incredible what is that?

[Kaptnamerica]

I don’t understand why you don’t have over 100K subs really people need to Sub and Like!

[leado]

Sorry I wasn't at the stream I had school I'm only 11 but I'm really interested in planes

[skafy]

Omg, LV3 evolution is something. [Fingers crossed] guess we'll have to see...

[l.a.tobangkok]

RV14 and JMB....both fantastic aircraft...price is very reasonable as well.

[Alex-gjou]

Как всегда прекрасные самолеты RV👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[skafy]

The range for LV3 evolution was tricky tho, it was in km but still impressive!

[otcoach]

Hello! Please what is that name song of minute 5:55???

[richardloveday]

Great video Montage! ! nicely done. The RV 14A would be my choice..aerobatic RV...and great room with cross country legs!!

the others mako etc and the one from Europe are sexy but like the Kystral. ...>Years from being able to fly in this country...long on sizzle short on delivery..

keep up the great work. have you decided on your time builder mission solution 150/2 V. Cherokee yet??

[ele]

Looks like it did not happen, , , , kits in production? Or not?

[jeffh]

Did you get both songs from hooksounds? Could you tell me what the name of the first song is? I would like to use it for a video.

[gaflying]

Will you be at Osh? Our first year. Excited for all things aviation

[hectorbonillavideos]

Hey Mike you should checkout into the Velocity Aircraft. Also an amazing Experimental Airplane.

[reyesben]

Nice planes! I can never figure out RV’s nomenclature. The 14a is a bigger number so you would think it’s a larger plane, but it’s really a 10!
Also, the NASA looking pusher is just hideous. Way too much going on there.

[VaibhavKumar-fwvx]

can you make video on four seater plane less than for hangout with our family

[PaulAnthonyDuttonUk]

I think the JMB VL3 is an LSA but not SLSA.. Might be wrong but thinking it is an ELSA plan. Can't keep up with the million legal class definitions.

Mako spinner desperately needs balancing. Also the RV-14 is more like an over grown RV-7. The -10 has a hard top composite structure with gull doors and is powered by six-cylinder Lycomings (unless the builder gets wild and just has to put an automotive conversion in there). The -14 is designed around the Lycoming 390 (four cylinder)
