Have you ever flown an airplane with power to spare? This Turbine Legend has the horses to keep up with a Mustang.

@aerobaticaddict 6 жыл бұрын

What are the particulars on the building of this bird? Can you describe what the kit provides? How many hours were put into it and by whom? What specialized skills and tooling are required? What is the ultimate cost of this particular build including engine and avionics? It appears to be a very nice machine. I’m sure it’s fun but is it also practical for two people on a trip in terms of range, max gross, c.g., and baggage capacity?

Sweet plane but it has an arduous history. Just like the ViperJet, they are all one off custom jobs, that are not snap together kits like you would find in an RV, Sonex or Kitfox. Major money, major time and pilot requirements leaves these "toys" to the one percent'ers.

crazyskyguy it’s not just lawyers, be real. A 300+ knots turbine airplane with modern avionics. Your point might rain true with light GA aircraft (a Cherokee used to cost the same as an average car, now it’s ~$350k) but a fast turboprop would never be cheap enough for the average joe to afford.

No you don’t. Get an RV-8. It’s almost all of what this thing is. It can pull the same G forces, do the same maneuvers, looks almost the same from the inside and on the outside. Can takeoff and land quicker. Has more endurance. The only way an RV-8 comes up short is climb rate (but not necessarily climb angle since the RV climbs at a much slower speed), top speed, and the ability to sustain high G. But if you’re flying this to have fun, things taking longer is usually better.
