I usually say at the end of the video, “I want one!”

This time though, I *really* want one.

Great video as always. Love the "made it before flight sim came out joke".

The cost per hour numbers surprised me though. I think the left hand column should've been 50/100/200 hours though, not 100/200/400. As shown, the costs per hour are double what they should be when using the fixed/variable numbers from the previous graphic.

Great video Ray! Now Lukas owes you a vacation with a VL3 916is in the Bahamas! ✈

These are just beautiful planes. It reminds me of a mix between a red bull stunt plane and a SR22.

[Cuccos]

Nice! It is from the Czech Republic, now there is an other one from Slovakia, a very distinctive tandem seater called the 'Shark'. That's even more impressive (or maybe the most impressive ever in its category?)

I've been waiting for this one, thank you. Looking forward to getting to finally fly in a VL3 in a few weeks too.

Still waiting for that Risen 915/Superveloce video! Very similar concept, better airplane than JMB, IMO. Outrageous performance, efficiency, comfort and safety. And it’s only $150k!

I'd be less concerned about re-packing the parachute compared to buying a new plane in the event you Need the parachute

This is an incredible plane built by an incredible company. I really want one also.

Not sure if I'm being dumb, but the cost/hour & cost/year values do not line up @ 2:20.

I flew one 2 years ago. Handled like a fighter jet.

I clicked on this video my immediate thought of "hey, that's the one from..." was cut off by my own thoughts being spoken aloud to me. Not the Halloween scare I was expecting, but certainly one that I will take.

Would you consider doing the Distar / Urban Air Lambada? I flew one recently and their climb rate is ridiculous for such a tiny airplane!

[Trabulno]

Could you please make a video about the Cessna 195 Businessliner? I think it's an amazing aircraft, and I would love to know how affordable it is.

[عصام-طن]

01:15 can you do more Canada specific stuff?

[MakiC]

Loved this video. Also to echo other commentors on here, I'd love a video on the Risen 912/915! I love learning about fast, efficient, relatively 'affordable' aircraft.

[mohammadbarani]

Can you please make a video about Risen 912 airplane cost to own? And what is the best option in the area close to Risen 912?
Thanks

[HyroAUS]

these things are so cool definitely one of my favorite aircraft (behind the champ ofc)

[TanakaTime]

Neat. Any chance you’re working on a Risen SV video?

[lalalala]

Can you do the PA30 and PA39 twincommanche? I would love to know how much it would cost to own it. Thanks from Germany:)
