I would not want to fly such a haphazard one off experimental. Every flight must be like a test flight. This guy talks like he takes passengers. I wonder how many of them truly understand there is risk of an unexpected interaction between each and every one of those mods. I truly hope I missinterpeted him and he is not taking passangers.
Beautiful plane . Wow never saw such STOL .
If you follow he and his buddies channels, they pretty much just fly each other around, not clients or random people. Several of the aircraft, despite being standard models, are purposefully classified as “experimental”, so they can make changes without FAA constraints. This plane is frickin awesome!
Yeah man . I really wanted to get into radio controlled scaled aircraft . Knowing me I would be going after the jets and going bankrupt .
^^^^^ Love 'em! Just one of many fine craft from DeHaviland Iron works! Not so much on the short game though.
Imagine what that recip would be like with even more HP.
A recip that made a lot more power would be a heavy mofo
Supercharger, perhaps?
Thought it was gonna be these helicopter bush planes

It's got a 700hp PW turboshaft in it. Killer part is if he takes it to it's cruising altitude it's using the same amount of fuel as the 250hp rotary and 40kts faster. Said he has about $1.5m into it.

Not a true bush plane if he has to fly altitude to reduce fuel to 28 gallons per hour. It is a cool plane just too much avionics and problem solution. This guy must be a great pilot. Husky or Super Cub are still the more practical job.
Pilatus Porter. Worked with these with the CIA.
Fabulous airplane.......Pilatus just ceased the manufacturing of them
Yeah it's not the typical bush plane. He doesn't have to run higher, just can to go faster and use less fuel. But also #3000 and have the abilities it has is impressive.

Yes, I heard him say that too.

Ah yes, Air America.
It's not a recip. It's a turbine. The plane originally came from the manufacturer with a recip engine (a radial, not a rotary).
I stand corrected, as I already was upthread previously. They're getting as much out of that as they possibly can, undoubtedly.
