Raw footage of Vashon Ranger #100 landing at Jackson County / Sylva (24A), NC. The approach & landing were particularly challenging as the airport sits up on top of a plateau, with the runway slanting down & away from me on landing, & high density altitude! All in all, a really good experience, & a lot of fun in this fantastic airplane!

Why an Airline Pilot Flies Vashon Ranger R7 (Owners Perspective Ep. 1)
Inspiring story. However, according to Flightaware this plane hasn't flown since October 2023. So I guess they haven't been flying as often as they used to.
$160,000 for cessna 152 performance. "how about no."
That’s the right stuff right there boss. Awesome!
I like your detailed explanation i enjoyed it very interested. I feel like i am taking a class.
AP?
💯💯💯❤❤❤
i like this plane , price
That’s s a nice machine right there
Interior cabin width R-7: 46" C-206 Stationair: 43" Std autopilot, full on Dinon, std Unbelievable cost:benefit 👍😎👍
love it!!!!!!!!!!!
The lucky owner of one of the best airplane on the market in my own opinion, and there are some great ones out there...
I Really need to fly it before I commit... kurt hook me up with a Ranger owner in Sarasota, but it has been 7 month waiting , I don't think this person Likes the airplane enough to help the Sale..... Tarpon Springs FL
Unlike for timstaten, the mispronunciation didn't keep me from watching the video, but it's still a good thing to pronounce things the way they are pronounced: VASH-on.
You guys promised a float plane where is it l heard the owner found it unsafe
You need better videos to sell more aircraft: Show 3 turn spins, 45-60-degree banked wing overs, side slips to landing etc... Show the side slips from both inside and outside of the aircraft, the outside viewpoint would be very exciting. In fact you should get a proper zooming video camera to show the outside view of all the mentioned flight maneuvers: that's exciting!!!!! Maybe even an aircraft to aircraft view point. Make sure to Push the limits to show/prove it is very capable and yet forgiving! Maximum side slip looks SOOO cool from a ground view. Make your aircraft out to be "fun"damentally exciting" and capable and prove of its airframe strength! Are you afraid to break it? The answer should be a "proven" absolute resounding NO and Watch this! Show us that you have full faith in your craft should you get into some really really bad turbulence. Prove of your full confidence beyond any shadow of a doubt with your own ass in the seat! Do a loop and a roll even, legal or not! That's how you sell aircraft!
That’s great advice. I’m training in this aircraft right now and it’s an absolute blast. Your comment reminds me of what my CFI has told me several times. We were actually practicing some extreme slips today to get me familiar with rudder operation. I was tentative and would overreact and over control when I made a mistake. My instructor took the plane from me and said watch. Then proceeded to wing over in a 60 degree bank and pull a few Gs. He said, “See? The airplane can handle it. You can handle it. Don’t be afraid of it!”
@@Stumpchunkman226 Side slips can save your life in an engine out circumstance. Being proficient with them allows you to pick a field and come in high to offer an escape if you've picked a foul field that looked good from afar/above. this keeps at least "one" last ditch "better than worst" option open. fly safe and prepared via proficiency my friend! Cheers: Robert Note: side slip practice can result in engine failure by the fuel pickup line in the tank becoming dry, if so level out, set throttle to start position, full rich mixture and fuel pump on, then etc... The prop will likely be windmilling so no starter will be needed if windmilling. (It'll take a moment for the carburetor to fill enough to get fuel to the motor) If that doesn't do it then: engine out checklist. Be ready and practice side slips with at least semi-full tanks as a precaution to the above. Be safe my friend! Still further the pickup lines are likely on the wing root side so if sideslipping with the right wing high you should probably be on your right side fuel tank. Maybe check with your mechanic or aircraft manual on this thought.
@@robertshaver4432 thanks, Robert. That is excellent advice, and my CFI was keeping an eye on this. After slipping to one side, the fuel gauge would give erroneously low indications. We would return to straight and level flight and the tanks would balance themselves out. The Ranger draws from both tanks and doesn’t have a L or R side selector.
@@Stumpchunkman226 Awesome, sounds like a great CFI.
Fantastic opening music!!
Very Nice...
Nice that you were in NH yesterday. Too bad you couldn’t stop in KCON sometime so I could see a Ranger.
There will be a Ranger based in ME by Spring 2023.
Very cool, I'd love to see it up close. Please let me know if you'll be at KASH anytime soon.

How do we get in touch with that owner? Would love to take a test flight
If they could only get rid of those crossbars in my face I might consider getting one of these.
The bars are for structural integrity, & the fuel lines run along them from the main tanks to the header tank. Everyone finds that you don’t even see them again after flying the Ranger for about 30 minutes, as your sight focus should be outside of the airplane anyway. They do come in handy as a horizon or “ground reference” (bank angle indicator) when making turns in the pattern when it is critical for your focus to be outside the aircraft. But no worries, the beauty of the LSA’s is that you can always find one that better suits your needs & checks most if not all your boxes. Good Luck!
Being trained in human factors engineering, I have learned that objects in the near field that are not in the focal area will essentially disappear. The human mind is brilliant at "photoshopping" these type of artifacts out of your view. The way this works is that your eyes are not stationary, they move constantly and those differences in position allow the brain to replace the object with what is behind the object. Everything you perceive is actually delayed by ~100ms to allow the brain to do this image processing. The net result is, that unless you deliberately focus on these bars they will literally (and I do mean literally) not be present in the image that you "see".
Awesome approach!
Very nice side slip, how much rudder input was that? How far have you pushed side slip? What remarks do have regarding side slipping the Ranger? I'm also interested in seeing you practice a "simulated" (don't kill yourself) turnaround in a box canyon! Thank You for all of your Ranger displays!
Any word on when a 4-place might be introduced? Would be awesome if it was certified for IMC as well.
The manufacturer seemed to take his advice. The dual glass model now goes for $160,000! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!
Thank God they didn’t decide on the Bonanza V-Tail! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!
Hoping to start sport pilot training in one of these soon.
Love the Ranger!
Hi Kurt! Looking forward to my delivery of my Ranger soon too!
Saving every penny I can to get me a Ranger! I have so much respect for this organization!
Good luck. I pray you get it.
Great job. CAVU
Great looking airplane........
Took delivery of mine in January and flew it home to Florida. I've enjoyed every moment of my ownership.
Love the plane and it seems like a rock solid American company. My only suggestion is let us hear the engine sounds and communications rather than the music. But thanks for posting!
Got mine on order! Can't wait!
How long is the ETA from date of ordering to delivery?
@@ethanlovesmommy9628 1 Year for me. Ordered Feb 2022 and hopefully get it Feb 2023
@@SleepSoundsUSA thank you!! We spoke with Curt today and the wait list is now 16 months! We’re just starting our research between planes but so far this one is super high on the list!
@@ethanlovesmommy9628 I had an opportunity in north Texas to fly one and compared to the Sport Cruiser I fly in training (which I also liked btw) this Ranger is SOOO much more comfortable with the full size seats. Also got to test out the auto pilot and level button doing unusual attitude and it just works so well!
Can 6'6" person fit? Headroom looks a little low. Thanks
To bad the prices went crazy up there.. I saved 120k to buy one,and then the price went up to 160k....by by Ranger..
Actually 134k for the dual screen right now, but still a big jump in 1 year.
Yep, that is not the time Right Now to spend that amount of cash anyway
All these comments bitching about the lack of the newest bells and whistles and “b-b-but muh composites” miss the entire point of this aircraft, which is to be actually affordable for the average pilot.
Excellent review on the Ranger. You’ve sold me! I want one. It’s always been a dream of mine to own my airplane rather than renting. This price almost puts me in reach.
He looks like a doctor. He talks like a doctor. Bc he is a doctor.
I ordered my Ranger after talking to Tom at Sn'F 21' and took delivery in January. I spent a week at the factory and then flew the airplane to the other end of the USA in Florida. It flies great and cruises economically & effortlessly. The owner, designer, factory team, wrap designers and the entire purchase process are everything you would hope for in an all USA product. My Ranger will be basking at Sun n' Fun 22', so do come by and ask your questions of a Vashon rep or myself if you can catch me.
Tom, if you see this, just wondering what mods you had them do after the fact at the factory (just moving the window vent placement?), and whether it might be possible to meet up in New England come summer time? Cheers and thanks! This is an incredibly helpful video to potential owners like me.
Make more of these.
Eagerly waiting for a 4 seater version
Upload more also where is the video on that crash test?
Wonderful informational video!!! Can't wait for a Demo !
Thanks for making this video, I really enjoyed the information. I now fly the Vashon Ranger and totally love it. It has everything I want and need in a modern new plane. Happy New Year Tom and the Vashon Ranger team!
Great little bird to have fun with for sure. A four place jetA in the future would be fantastic
Great story, great folks, awesome plane. I started flying the Vashon Ranger about two months ago and totally love this plane. Flown different types of planes in the past and now this will be the only plane I will fly moving forward. Like your smart phone, this is a smart plane. Everything you need and want is there. Love the Ranger!
"It has more room than my Cessna Cardinal". Can your Cessna Cardinal carry more than one person with full fuel? Because the Ranger sure can't.
Different plane, different mission.
Very sexy but 367# useful weight without fuel??????????????????????????
(Sticky key ???????????????????) Given the arbitrary LSA limit, the current legal useful load is 445 lbs, not 367.
