The VL3 Evolution from JMB is the newest line of airplane to join the ranks of light complex speed machines. As we are all hoping for MOSIAC to pass soon, the VL3 powered by new Rotax 916 engine will fall under the light sport aircraft category. This new variation of the VL3 will cruise at 200 knots while only burning 8 gallons of fuel per hour.
JMB claims that the 916 Engine will be the engine of choice for the VL3 moving forward. Price of a well equipped aircraft will drop in at $425,000

The landing gear always has electric retraction, the Johnson bar is for the flaps, the flaps can be electrically operated if you choose that option but some pilots prefer manual operation which is immediate and no electrical mechanism to fail.

It's not a Wind Gate. It's called a Fence

@PhilipFly11 Ай бұрын

The wing fences were installed to improve stall behaviour, as the wing root stalls, flow over the wing tips and ailerons is maintained so that roll control is not lost and the risk of inadvertently entering a spin is mitigated.

This plane does have electric operated landing gear. The Flaps are controlled with the bar in the middle. There is an option for electric flaps also.

The lever you refer to is the flap lever not the gear. 55 degrees are air brakes.

@@mauriceevans6546 Rizen is very nice but its not the easiest to get in/out of. At AERO24 I tried various aircrft. The nicest IMHO (you opinion may differ) were the Shark and the Blackwing. Shark is a very cosy, ergonomic tandem cockpit - but not for someone very overweight! The Blackwing has a very nice detail with a footstep in the flap. This is a side-by-side so more room than the Shark

I’ve been training with the goal of making it to the airlines but through the journey general aviation has stolen my heart

that wing gate is called a wing fence and that bar is not for the gear it's for the flaps. Bristells have had push start for 10 years.

Seating position was well thought out. This seating position is supposed to be a better way to deal with G forces .

916 wave has come. Risen has also shipped a few 916's to its customers already... been to their factory recently, saw some in production

Great video Mike. I love the Vl3 and with the 916, it is really a beast. Patiently waiting for the Mosaic to pass.

@azcoyote007 Ай бұрын

Like all planes they just keep raising that cost. $425K is definitely capped

@ChavngRynsPvts Ай бұрын

The Johnson handle is a bit funky at first, most times you'll be landing flaps two, the 55 degrees is only when you need to bleed altitude like a forward slip, but you can't forward slip this aircraft, hence the 55 degrees of flaps.

@joesharp5602 Ай бұрын

Thanks for showing us this plane Mike. I am a former Mooney owner and have a strong right arm from using it's Johnson bar. Also, I was in Atlanta last week visiting my kids and saw the news about your new flight school opening up at the county airport. That is way cool, and I wish you great success with that school....

Is light sport ok for IFR?

@EJWash57 Ай бұрын

In the USA: training and check ride? Yes. Flying in IMC in the USA? Yes - IF the operating limitations set by the aircraft manufacturer allows flying in IMC, AND the FAA issues that aircraft manufacturer/model "Special" (built to different standards than LSA) S-LSA certification.

@apt3503 Ай бұрын

Light sport category is where most of the new innovation and design is happening. I love your coverage of these developments. I just wish I could afford any of these cool new designs...
