Flying with your fingertips. I’d say you’ve got yourself a nice flying machine.

Dude... what you built is nothing short of impressive. Love the plane. The quality of your workmanship really comes through...

[BlueBaron]

That patient engineering approach of yours, Bryan, clearly works and, I will confess, I had my doubts. Personally, I don't want to see any computer screens when I fly but that's just because I was a video game developer on the first so-called MMO - Air Warrior - where we went to great lengths to simulate WWII aircraft cockpits. Thus, the LAST thing I wanted to see when actually flying was what I regarded as a video game screen out of Falcon 3 😂 Yet, objectively, what you've accomplished is nothing short of grand! It's an outstanding achievement.

Your airplane is absolutely beautiful. All your hard work and dedication has really paid off, that’s for sure, just gorgeous. You have earned all the fun you get to have now, so glad and thankful you took us along, so we get to enjoy as well. Keep pumping out the videos, we love ‘em!!! Bravo sir 👏🏼.

What a beautiful plane you have built!! Congrats!! Can't wait to see you out playing with the guys and going places in your future videos..

[davidrobins]

It is good to see all your love, hard work is making you satisfied with your new STOL plane. Thanks for sharing the process with us.

It is fun after watching all your hard work to see you enjoying the fruits of your labor.

[Jsean]

Lookin good. Glad you are getting the bugs worked out. Looking forward to a new intro.😁

Excellent video! I installed the GRT Sport EX in my Challenger 2, and will be doing the set up in about a month. Posting videos of my rebuild, repair and upgrades to my youtube channel, hopefully people enjoy following along as much as they do following along with yours. Watching your videos has prompted me to document what I'm doing, so thanks for the inspiration. Cheers from Winnipeg.

Great work Brian. Would have liked to see the calibration work done on the compass rose. Can't wait for the next vid, keep em comming!

[GlennSisson]

I definitely like your organized approach to your 40 hour flyoff Bryan. Was wondering if you are following a task-based flyoff of any sort? I think I've heard that the EAA is working on developing and championing task-based flyoff checklists so builders take a more methodical approach. Definitely seems like the right way to do things. Keep up the great work with your plane and with these invaluable videos! As always, Thanks Bryan!

[peterhancox]

Very smooth flying, what a set up, you must be very pleased??

[nikkimorgan]

Glad to see it’s working out it takes a while

[lbrunet]

Thanks for sharing. Looks like it is coming together. Really like your airplane. How close are you getting to your 40hrs?

[FlyingNDriving]

Now I just got to know the DBs of other people's planes!

[mhilderbrand]

I would like to see more on the GRT screen and functionality. There is next to nothing that I could find on YT that isn’t 8-10 years old 😄. Thanks!

[travisw]

I wanna see the intro final slip clip flash into the new plane! Soaked to see some clips already in the intro!

[jcjammer]

Nice job Brian.
Are you going to make it to Oshkosh ?

[steven]

I love your 360 camera setup! Which one are you using? Did you put an electrical connection out on the wing for it?

[keithradford]

Lovely plane...well done.. Can you not turn the exhaust silencer on its side and let it lay flat but obviously not touching the undercarriage?
