I think the coolest part of this airplane is the visibility you get from the canopy - It looks like flying a spaceship

7 yr old video that still looks amazing. Timeless.

As a search and rescue plane this is absolutely awesome! The view from the cockpit is amazing! Whoever built this is a genius! Well done sir !

this is not a plane, this is a dream!

Amazing!! I've been flying since 1965 and have just a tad over 8500 hours on both fixed wing and rotary, including multi engine, on both....I've never come across an aircraft that lit my fire like this one does. Fantastic video and fantastic flying demo!!

Mad Max, a dragonfly, a sherpa and a super cup walk onto a bar....... awesome.

That is one of the most hilarious yet appealing airplanes I've ever seen.

PURE epic! Amazing plane, and awesome film production! NOTE: if ever there was a plane NOT to let passengers in or out of with the engine(s) running - this is it. EDIT: and I enjoyed the remixed classical music; sort of like the remixed classical plane. Great sound track choice.

Years later and this amazing plane still isn't in the hands of the public yet. Great video.

your videos come out so infrequently, but are such a treat when they do.

-- Just plain _WOW!_ Excellent voice quality, audio & visual editing, and composition! *_Thank you, Backcountry Pilot!_*

I bet that thing could land on a runway. Perpendicular

I’ve seen this video before but it came in my recommended again and i remembered the video and how exited it made me. Such a beautiful design, reminds me a lot of the whacky 1930’s Heinkel planes, their seaplanes where ahead of their time but look rather daft. They worked tho!

Incredible Plane, incredible production, and incredible narration! Thank you so much. I was especially moved when you described the peculiar out-of-sync sound of the engines, "THAT SOUND" as you described it. I realized that twin-engine pilots could especially appreciate that comment, those with knowledge, experience, and a little bit of wisdom who are able to recognize "THAT SOUND". Thank you for the video and the inspiration.

Hats off to the Pilot, he knows what he is doing.

That sound from the out of sync engines props is called PHASE PULSING. it's caused by two tonal sounds being slightly out of tune with each other. The one that is slightly after will complete one harmonic cycle over the other every so often, producing the pulsing sound you hear. So PHASE PULSING is what we call it in audio terms. I think that's pretty cool.

The Bandit doesn't have a chance of escaping me now! Thanks for this awesome ride!

Absolutely phenomenal production quality, entertainment, and inspiration. Keep up the amazing work Zane!

Gives me chills! As a child I was given a ride in my uncle's Cub. This film took me back to that day. Inspiring and mesmerizing. Thank you!

Phenomenal, simply phenomenal! Super Cub meets Cessna 307, but with Alec's novel engine placement. Inspirational.

this is the most amazing plane I seen .... made me cry .... made me dream... made me rethink my ways .... made me want to fly ... I am just standing there with my mouth open..... it gave me a new way of thinking .... I still cry ...

Amazing plane and pilot, but you’re also a fantastic narrator with a very well done video. Great music too, I’d love to have that opera remix!!

I am an ex-military pilot. Have flown jet aircrafts, airplanes, helicopters etc. I LIKE very much this plane, its design, everything. Should be commercialized! Congratulations!

Hi, it might be interesting to mention that this plane is covered in Oratex6000 by BetterAircraftFabric, the revolutionary German Aircraft Fabric that requires no paint at all, come painted and goes on with a completely non-toxic glue. Its way stronger, way lighter and tougher. As its not mentioned in the video, I think its worth adding. A great video, very well done ! We need more videos like that ( not as a commercial entity but in the sense of shrinking pilot population and agitation against General Aviation ! ) Anyway, I love your channel here, keep it up! I also have many Backcountry flying videos on my own channel, but they are exclusively Alaska Bush flying videos. Best Regards from Anchorage!

Never seen a plane with such a view,make a great search and rescue plane.

When you hear synchronisation it's called a "beat". It sounds like woo woo woo woo within the engine noise. This is the most impressive thing I've seen in well wow. Perfectly set up flown with great skill. Take a bow gentlemen how cool is this

Wow, amazing visibility AND performance.

Absolutely incredible aircraft and excellent pilot! I can only dream of such adventures! It would be amazing to fly in to some remote fishing spots in this plane!

Wow. I've never seen such a skilled pilot before. He did stuff birds can't do.

Im picking my jaw up from the floor, holly cow simply amazing aircraft and pilot skills masterly blended together. So Inspiring.

WOW!! Awesome aircraft and vid. Talk about reigniting an old passion to fly. Thanks SO much for taking the time to shoot and produce this ;)

Awesome. Thank you for giving us this experience, really appreciate the set up you clearly went through to get such great takeoff and landing shots and the amazing skill of the pilot and his plane, all superb.

Real flying in a real aircraft. Purpose built. Awesome

OMG! This is such an AWESOME air machine! I dream of a plane that can do THIS.

LOVE, LOVE , LOVE the clear cockpit. Awesome. What a great view.

Incredible.I love your work and am always left with a sense of both awe and envy. Can't wait for the next one.

That's a really neat aircraft! Nice flying, blue side up!

Plane and pilot. They are both Amazing.

I'm in absolute awe. Huge respect towards you

The reference to helicopters is well-taken. Reminds me of the scene in Illusions where the main character drops his aircraft into a too-short field by "hanging in the air" above it and dropping like a hawk. 'Course that guy was magic; he could wangle the laws of physics. This plane's for normal people. Incredible take-offs and landings from unreal surfaces -- and flights through breathtakingly narrow air lanes.

Your videos deserve 10x more views, I hope you become a super popular avation youtuber one day!

I never get tired of this great footage. awesome cub

Awesome video! You do such a great job! Thanks for sharing this video.

I see you. Dope camera action. Editing on point. And flying the hell out of that airplane. God Speed..

Awesome wicked flying. Love it!!!

Fantastic - especially The Sound!

Awesome plane, pilot and video production .

The full vis canopy is the best! It feels like you're in one of those star wars pod things :)

Superb flying. Just subbed. Really dig your machine. Thanks!

Awesome camera work and that Pilot is Amazing! really enjoyed watching this

Like an Artist, the Pilot knows his Instrument! ❤

Excellent presentation

Incredible Aircraft! Nice footage

Very enjoyable and impressive to watch.

I wouldn't expect anything less of a plane designed with the heart and mind of a true bush pilot. Well done, I am buying one.

that thing looks like a blast to fly, awesome video.

just the reliability of the two engines is enough for me but man 100%to the incredible views

Beautiful music/videography.

😳... Absolutely great ! 👍🏻 Ain't just magic people who step out of the ordinary and create realities ?

Practical and beautiful design.

Awesome guys, beautiful aircraft stol

Instant classic! what an amazing design

This is why R/C planes are insane in the performance curve. Tons of power and little weight. This is the grown up version of flying your r/c plane for real. Wow what a piece of work! Amazing! But with 2 engines - face palm, that's just nuts! Love this plane!

I love your narrative style (and/or voice). it sounds like a book I would like.

That is one of the finest youtube vids i have ever seen

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Marie

Wonderful video! Please continue with more!

Wait a sec! Did I just see a mx bike attached to the bottom of a bush plane!!!! Outstanding!! Live can’t get any better than that!!

This thing is the epitome of what I love in life haha. Unparalleled visibility, Rotax 914's which have become my favorite engine in general aviation, and amazing aerodynamic design to make it perform in the backcountry. It really is the ultimate bush plane!

Very nice video! High quality!

Wow! Incredible plane and pilot!

this is exactly what I had in mind. Having this much ground clearance makes it easy

Interesting concept and great production value!

I've seen tails come up on airplanes before just after they started moving but this one does it before he starts moving. Very impressive machine.

Beautiful video, man.

Wonderful work Alex Wild

Amazing airplane and amazing pilot skills!

I can't wait to see variations of this aircraft at STOL competitions!

Excellent stuff bro

Lovely machine!

I've got storage about 1000' from where you landed. Anyhow, stunning innovative exercise in lightness yet redundancy (and power!). Gosh, the only thing left is vectoring to shorten takeoffs and landings any further.. MAYBE... but even then, not much! Great great video!

awesome plane! Nice work

I've watched this a few times now, bloody incredible !:-)

This frame can be one of those things that save millions of lives.

Wow! Most epic aircraft ever! Didn't realize it was a double engine aircraft until you mentioned it.

Great video!

Wow, amazing piloting skills and cool plane!

Beautiful plane!

Great video great product... Keep doing these kinda reports!

This is the plane my dad built in his garage for Alec, was a real process to help build....

looks excellent to fly,great work

I'm a huge fan of the Super Cubs and other STOL's. This plane was amazing! Thanks for sharing your experience!

that cockpit is so freaking cool.

This is impressive, innovation is alive and well!

Beautiful.

awesome, simply awesome. Hope one day you can produce in mass and hope one day i can buy one of it

Jeez man, this thing has insane rudder control on the ground.

This aircraft right now is perfection.

Very well done !

Really cool. Never flown a plane but stuff like this really makes one wish they could.
