This is not your average youtube vlog, this is a bloody high quality documentary. JP, you are setting a new standard to what youtube can offer.

The dude with the champagne that covered your plane? These dudes are the people that keep artist moving forward. Motivating. What a spirit.

Thank you for taking us on this journey, JP!

The "Live the Adventure" Sticker on the tail almost had me crying thinking about the world tour with Louis. Well Done JP!!

This is really quite stunning. Build your own airplane, fly it across the Atlantic with a couple of friends, land in the U.S., and continue around the globe. And I thought my 300 mile xcountry in a C-150 was something!😂 Safe travels to you JP and friends, will definitely be continuing to follow your KZfaq channel.

What a beautiful community. Good for you man.

This is so damn cool. You built a plane! I really admire what you put out on KZfaq, even if it isn't very often. You're one of the people on here who live your interesting life, and then share it with the world. Not a dime-a-million influencer. And the edit is superb.

JP, congratulations on completing the project of building such an amazing plane. And to top it off with such an awesome film truly highlights your passion for aviation. Thanks for taking us along for the ride 🤙

Your contents are worth paying for from viewers and here you are sharing your videos for free. We couldn't be more thankful enough for everything you've done so far for us. We love you JP and Crews. 💞

Great Job!!! Can't wait to see the rest of the adventure.

Excellent storytelling and editing! I enjoyed it a lot!

You certainly are living the adventure. Thanks for taking us with you.

Mateeee, over the past few months I have been keeping up with you and your journey to make this trip a reality, this is such an inspirational journey to share, I am very proud that a massive aviation enthusiast like yourself can complete such a dream. Thanks for sharing the journey so far, and cant wait for the next video!

Gorgeous aircraft, we’re all proud of ya.

Listened to your interview where you mentioned at least 40 hours of editing for one video. I can see it in this one for sure!! Just the intro alone, wow! Absolutely love following your story. You’re an inspiration to so many!

I teared up for you!! CONGRATULATIONS! Can’t even imagine how it must have felt...

Every time I watch one of your videos I'm straight back on MSFS 🛩 Think i might fly some legs of your journey with you virtually :D

So glad to see these videos coming out. We have been scouring KZfaq to see if any of the other pilots at Oshkosh had any footage of you as well. We wait eagerly for your next installment. Glad to see you back JP.

Congratulations Jp. been watching you since Balloo and now it's Zasu's time. thank you for taking us this amazing journey with Zasu. safe flight Zasu and team!

This is one of the best videos I've ever watched. Piece of art, man. You do it so well. Soooo emotional!!! Enjoy these days, man. When you wil be 80 yo, you would be cry when you see this again.

I just watched the last 8 videos back-to-back. Tears were shed as you landed and I saw how many people were present to watch your maiden flight. Can't wait for more. Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you.

Awesome job on this dude! All the way around, the whole project is epic. I can't remember if I've told you that in a comment because I've watched it a bunch of times now hahaha

The Live The Adventure Sticker :,)

Many thanks JP. Living the adventure with you..!!!💖🌟

I can't wait to see how you get on settling into your new aircraft. It's a sight to behold and such an exciting adventure! You smashed it JP!!

Good luck brother and congrats. Look forward to this journey with you all.

Watched you fly around the world. Can't wait to see you do it again. Thank you for the content J.P.

I love this, very well done! Can't wait for the next one

Another great piece of art. Keep them coming! Your aircraft is a beauty and cool at the same time. Taildraggers are a pain to land but look cooler most times. Congratulations on your achievement. Especially in that short time! Respect!! Always happy landings in it!!

I have been watching your videos ever since I started flight training, you have inspired me a lot on this amazing journey. Keep inspiring new pilots! Best regards from South America

Super excited to watch this journey! Congratulations on a successful maiden flight, loved the mix of serenity and celebration!

Thank you for posting! Loved seeing the process so far, so excited for the next video. I was holding my breath at the end

Beautiful video! Amazing story and great editing style!

Superb. Love the colour too. The tail wheel stays airborne at such slow speeds too due to your alterations too. Well done. Now the fun begins . Thanks for posting

Great work! Looks so much better as a dragger. Look forward to following your journey, all the best!

Those planes are stunning works of art

Made my week this video JP can't wait for the next one

Congrats JP! I watched you fly around the world with Louis, and now can’t wait to watch your next adventure!!!

To really watch the birth of a new plane is just amazing. This is exactly what the aviation community wants to see. Loads of jealous new pilots watching this. Keep up this fantastic documentary.

Congrats, great vid. looking forward to the trip!

Excellent!!! Hope the recovery is going well.

Wow such an amazing feat for building an entire plane in a short amount of time. Excellent video cant wait for the next one!

Your storytelling and editing is freaking solid! ❤️

Congrats and very well done!

That was such a great watch! Amazing video JP!

Congratulations!! Big day! Looking forward to seeing more of the adventure!

Hey great well-put-together video im from the uk and currently studying for my ppl but have multiple hours flying from Lanseria because of having family in Johannesburg amazing seeing this journey and very inspiring for me and I'm sure for many others.

Brilliant JP, an outstanding achievement. God Bless and all the best Brother.

Love the video and the quality of editing. We were there with paramotors west of the airfield when you departed from tedderfield to lanseria. Thanks for taking us on this journey. Can't wait for the next video.

Bravo JP!

Awesome! So excited for the journey.

Danke JP, dass Du uns an Deinen Abenteuern seit Jahren teilhaben lässt. Keep going! 👏💪

I can feel it! Love it! ❤

Well done! Live the adventure!

This is absolutely fantastic story! Thank you

Looks bloody fantastic, well done and congratulations!

Congratulations JP!!!

Been waiting for this one! What an amazing airplane.

What a gorgeous looking machine.

Honestly cant wait for your videos anymore great work !

Well done, JP.

Nice tail dragger, aside from home in Alaska we don’t see too many of those in North America.

This is beautiful

This video was so well done!

Congratulations! As always, well done and spoken with Candor! Excelsior JP! Yew!

I want to build that plane so bad. It’s gorgeous!!! Well done.

What an exciting journey!

Awesome JP!

Jp, Stellar video, congrats

Seeing "Live the Adventure" on the tail made me warm and fuzzy inside, good times!

Stuff of dreams this is! This is history in the making...A Wright brothers moment. Excellent!

Beautiful!

I also don't think there much in life that can top building your own kit airplane all by yourself and flying it around the world ... what a dream! If I had two choices to 1. get a private jet including being able to maintain and fly it or 2. get a chance (time and money) to build a single engine plane kit myself (with an experienced assistant that watches and keeps me from messing things up) and get all the experience to learn down to every wire in the avionics, I would totally go for that - that feeling of flying something you build, understand and modified to your own needs is unbeatable. Also the challenge to fly a small plane around the world vs. a pressurized jet is a drastic difference. For one you need tons of little steps, planning, knowledge, experience and patience if the weather isn't right, while for the jet you just need basic training and off you go, reaching your destination in a flash. Congratulations to make this dream come true and the best of luck and joy to you from Germany

fantastic. god luck on the trip

I've been anxiously awaiting these flight videos. The anticipation has been killer :). You did not disappoint. Keep it coming. Zazu looks amazing. Great Job. I believe you could sell your documentary style videos to the Discovery Channel.

Congrats!!! Amazing effort man!!! That's my dream .. to build a Sling. One day soon. Meanwhile, happy soaring in my Discus.

Congrats JP! Been watching you for a long time now and you're one of the many inspirational people who've inspired me to pursue my pilots licence. Out of curiosity, how much did it cost to build Zazu?

building a plane in 4 months is bonkers great work!

You have, more than friends, a whole family in Sling Aircraft, specially Mike and James ( I believe I wrote that in a video before). This is a beautiful video and ride. Best wishes.

Fantastic stuff JP. Looking forward to seeing footage of your trip. (Break a leg) All the best.

I don't understand how you don't have 1 million subscribers already

Loved it!!!!

Been with you since 2017 when you completed a 3500-mile bike trip from LA to NYC👍JP/ Candourist the best to you EAA AirVenture Oshkosh🛩

absolutely stunning film. good luck my fellow partner, Safe flight to KOSH🛫

Brilliant video, pilot and aircraft! Well done JP, Sling and Rotax

So sick bro! Amped for the next ep.

Amazing. Very interested in this! The filming has a very attention grabbing style to it. Great job

Nice work JP, from a fellow kiwi aviator this is awesome!

Got to see both you and the plane at Oshkosh it's beautiful, I'm number 69 in line for my high wing I can't wait mine will be tricycle gear. Can't wait for the rest of the series.

Phenomenally beautiful airplanes

MEGA GIGA , Viel Glück beim GIGA Flug nach Oshkosh , und hoffentlich immer und überall , eine Gute Landung !!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Been waiting for another one of your videos! As someone who dreams of building my own plane and reactivating my license this is inspiring stuff. Any tips for someone looking to build? I'm handy around my house by airplanes are different and since I have have assisted AMEs in the past I have a healthy respect for the work and knowledge needed.

Magnificent!

I wish I could give this video a million likes! Amazing, thank you!

Glad to finally see this journey JP, I hope I can get a flight when you pass through California on your eventual world flight.

This video is finally out. I met you at Oshkosh and you promised me the release of this adventure! Great production💪🏽

Really exciting that you did the test flight as well. U do the full packet including introducing it in Oshkosh.

Hi JP & Team!! You make Namibia proud! Enjoy every moment..Save flying and send my regards to Larry at Evolution Trikes..!!

Get more of these planes into the hands of pilot's! The 51% rule is a great hands-on experience, but I think technology and workermanship has improved tenfold over the past 20 years. Would love to see what it does for independent build shops.

Amazing stuff boet. Wishing you all a safe journey and let me know when your at the coast again in Nam so we can have a beer. Shot man!
