Interested a Bristell? Contact my dealership LookUp Aviation www.lookupaviation.com/contac...
Back in the hangar of the Bristell light sport aircraft. And today we’re talking with Evan, one of the chief commercial pilots at Bristell. So personally, I learned that Bristell aircraft can be had with several options; this includes power plant, propeller, avionics and so on.
For the light sport model, your options will be limited because lsa have their limitations in gross weight and engine performance. But if you opt for an experimental model of the Bristell, suddenly you’ll have many more options to add to your airplane. Options like the more powerful Rotax 915 engine, a constant speed prop, IFR equipments, and the list goes on.
Once you are in the experimental category of airplanes, you can modify an airplane to best fit you and your mission.
Currently the Bristell is available in standard lsa and tricycle landing gear, you can also get them as a taildragger, and in Europe, a retractable landing gear model is available. Base price for the Bristell starts at $160,000.

By far THE BEST INFORMATIVE VIDEO ON KZfaq about the Bristell aircraft!! You answered every question I had and had me jumping out of my seat with joy! Dump the parachute and put in a nice IFR panel! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I"ll watch this one again and again. Well done!!

I hate that they think the parachute is not a good option. You never know if you will be incapacitated for any reason. medical condition, bird strike, fuselage failure, mid air collision, etc. If I ever get to own my own plane, it will have a parachute.

@paulborys9677 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I pretty much stopped watching at that point. Where I'm based, every flight puts me over mountains with few alternatives. Plus, as you've pointed out, an incapacitated pilot leaves his or her passengers on their own with very low odds of bringing the plane down safely.

Bristell offers a 6 inch box mounted on the bulkhead to allow for shorter pilots. There is also an option for rudder pedal extenders. I am 5'6". I fly with the pedals forward and sometimes use a cushion behind my back and one on the seat so my eyes are 3 inches above the glareshield. I make great landings.

Two years ago I had a ROTAX 912 attached to an Autogyro. The damn engine needed so much attention that it was not worth having it. Sold it for scrap. I changed to an AirMomentum AM!5 and I have had non issues with engines. Of course one does have to be more attentive to an aircraft than a car.

"Because of our low weight, we can offer a lot of engine options" -as long as it's a Rotax. Newsflash, people who can spend $200,000 for a toy aren't concerned with spark plug expenses. LSA was created to make flying affordable for the proletariat. FFA can't get out of it's own way.

Negative, you can’t put an electric motor in a Bristell as an ELSA. It still has to meet the definition of an LSA. While it is less restrictive and allows you to install many different options, you’re still an experimental light sport aircraft. It’s the same thing with trying to throw a constant speed propeller on an ELSA. It’s not a light sport anymore according to the regulations. Cool video!

His reasoning for not having a parachute seemed questionable though. I wonder if parachute designs could be improved to be lighter. It doesn't have to bring the plane down in the greatest comfort, it can even be very unpleasant. It just has to be less than lasting injury and risk of death. I also wonder if the parachute could be designed to work together with the plane's aerodynamics as an extra wing so the fall is translated a bit to forward motion. I've seen jumpers land with super tiny chutes because it's wing shaped yet still achieve near zero vertical speed at touch down.

You can’t control your plane when it’s under a parachute. So that’s why it doesn’t work like a normal personal parachute

@mikeecho8772 5 жыл бұрын

Most problems/accidents occur at landing or takeoff, which in both cases parachute is useless. Even when you are cruising and something goes wrong, you will do all the checks first, then glide to an airport, the parachute will be a last resort. By the time you do all of the procedures, realize that you cannot glide to safety you have lost a lot of altitude and may not be able to use the chute. Parachute will work if you are cruising and get a problem and you deploy it right away. After figuring out your own protocol of how/when to use it, you will most likely realize the chute will not be the best course of action in majority of the problems.

I know you're trying to promote flying and increase the number of people involved in the activity, but really, you should focus less on bells and whistles of a plane and focus more on the MOST important aspect of any activity which is SAFETY. In February 2020, the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority released a safety notice advising of a number of fatal accidents globally involving spins and stalls of Bristell LSAs. The safety notice states "aircraft may not meet the LSA standards as it does not appear to have been adequately tested" and that "the manufacturer has been unable to provide satisfactory evidence that the design is compliant with the requirements of the ASTM standards applicable to light sport aircraft." The company has contested the CASA notice and claims that spin testing was conducted, although the manufacturer prohibits the design from intentional spins. How can you mention the Bristell and not mention SAFETY?
