When you think of military airplanes, you think fighter jets, and any real pilot will tell you that’s the ultimate dream; to fly a fighter jet that’s fast with awesome aerobatic characteristics. But most people including certified pilots will never get the opportunity to fly a fighter jet like an F-16. But you can fly lighter airplanes with similar looks and aerobatic features.
Here I present to you some of the best light aerobatic aircrafts in the industry today. Many of these airplanes can be bought as certified aircraft or you can build one as an experimental. Airplanes like the shark and Van RV-8 are both homebuilt kit airplanes. Much more affordable and ver low maintenance cost on these light aircraft because they use a Rotax 912 or Rotax 914 engine. These airplanes are also capable cross country airplanes. Because of that small engine that only sips about 5 gallons of fuel per hour, you have an incredible amount of flight time available to you. All but the Diamond Dart-450.
Here the 5 airplanes listed
Shark: Considered the fastest ultralight aircraft in Europe (It’s really not). Does travel fast at a respectable cruise speed of 146 knots per hour. The shark was formerly designed and manufactured in Slovakia. This year though you can get one in the United states as a build kit in the experimental aircraft category
Engine: Rotax 912
Cruise speed: 146 knots
Stall speed: 35 knots
Fuel consumption: 5 gallons per hour
Price: $151,000
Tarragon: The Tarragon is another ultralight sports airplane designed and produced in Europe. With it’s sleek design and agile behavior, I had to put this airplane on the list. Although the Tarragon project is still being developed, you can still buy one in the nearest future. Great performance with the small Rotax engine. Nice retractable gears and cruise speeds of 150 knots per hour while only burning 4.5 gallons of fuel per hour.
Engine: Rotax 912 or 914
Cruise speed: 150 knots
Stall speed: 35 knots
Fuel consumption: 4.5 gallons per hour
Price: $180,000
Black Shape Prime: A superb light aircraft that i’ve personally followed for years. The Black Shape Prime may be the only airplane on this list with a luxurious interior or cabin space. Unlike the other airplanes Blackshape prime also comes standard with safety features like a parachute onboard. You also get a Dynon skyview standard for your avionics panel.
Engine: Rotax 912 or Rotax 914
Cruise speed: 150 knots
Stall speed: 35 knots
Fuel consumption: gallons per hour
Price: $200,000
Vans RV-8: Vans aircraft company is already a staple in the Aviation industry, especially among homebuilders. Vans provides affordable airplane kits for pilots/builder who are willing to take on the task. The RV-8 is one of Vans aerobatic airplane model. And this airplane in fact doesn’t disappoint. It is also the only airplane on the list that’s a tail dragger. With the RV8 You also get multiple engine options that is not a rotax. The Lycoming IO-360 180HP is a popular and entry level option among builders. More power for more performance.
Engine: Lycoming IO-360 180HP
Cruise speed: 165 knots
Stall speed: 44 knots
Fuel consumption: 9 gallons per hour
Price: $99,000
Diamond Dart-450: The Diamond Dart is technically still a prototype airplane in development phase. This airplane is mainly geared towards military training. It can be owned and flown by civilians, but be ready to pay the high purchase and maintenance cost. The diamond Dart will have a turbo prop engine that gets you to cruise speeds of 250 knots or more. Even for the average pilot, that’s really fast. And the price tag on this baby is $3.1 million. Operating cost, you’re looking at around $500 per hour. Yea not a cheap airplane to fly.
Engine: N/A
Cruise speed: 250 knots
Stall speed: N/A
Fuel consumption: N/A
Price: $3,100,000

You do realise that you can own any unclassified military aircraft, as long as you do two things.
1. Remove all classified or otherwise protected military equipment.
2. Unless you want to register your aircraft as a destructive device and pay for a $200 tax stamp. Remove the targeting pod and/or weapon stations depending on the aircraft.
The only real limiting factor is money.
It's still only $200, which is nothing compared to the price of the plane.
would love to bring back a plane from a grave yard. some of those rot away in the desert for many decades only to be scrapped.
why do gun people always say "tax stamp" and not just "tax" like we say for literally everything else?
@@actontreadway1168 because in order for something to become legal it literally requires an inked stamp on a piece of paper for their item and an exchange of money to the government for it.
@@geronimo5537 That's not why. When you send a letter in the mail they will use an inked stamp to stamp your stamp but you don't say "I got a stamp stamp" to mail the letter. People are just weird and like to make things complicated. Admit it.
Aviation brings people together.
It's a mission....an outreach.
Keep sharing!
"It looks like a military fighter jet"
-has propeller.
World War 2 planes have propellers, personally I want a Spitfire, but I don't think the UK government will allow me to buy one
@beanieb2009 have you not seen ac130. Military still use propellers.
@@joshuatrinity7097 AC130 isn't a "fighter jet"...
plezx29 anyone can buy a spitfire, it just costs a lot of money
@scottinbr ur ugly
I'm just a student pilot sitting here wishing I had money for a fun, fast, aerobatic plane
Look into a sonerai aircraft, they are a great plane and very affordable and you can do mild aerobatics in them. You can but them for under 10 grand flying if you search. Barnstormers have them listed time to time. Perfect for getting your first plane.
I'm taking my pilots coarse currently, and same here man
Same thing man...
The T-6 is an aerobatic trainer
Oh you to
Sonex is aerobatic and you can buy one built for 25-35K used.
These are military style aircraft in the same way that hipsters are lumberjack style people.
@@CaseTeamAngel cmon man
@@CaseTeamAngel I just thought that the whole styling and appearance of these planes were not reminiscent of military aircraft. They also didnt appear to have the manuverabilty as fighters did.
Lmao
heh
PC-9 is military, and awesome.
Mike, I appreciate that you keep your narrative style geared more toward the non-pilot even as you've worked your way through to become a pilot.
These are "military (fighter) style" airplanes because they have tandem seating.
He could have used that same title and showcased WWI and WWII replicas but since he didn't he's referring to airplanes that resemble the Tucano.
The lines on the Black Shape Prime just made me fall in love .. Daamn.
Thanks Mike. Another great video, with nice clear commentary; as usual. I'd like to see you do a similar video on biplanes someday, as I'm a big fan of biplanes, and I'm sure that there are a few still available to buy today.
Great Video! Love watching your videos! Keep up the great work!
The 3rd one and the last one from this list are my favorite ones I’d buy if I had the cream!! Although you mentioned the “military style” aircraft design, none other then the last one you featured in this video matched the appearance of a “somewhat military aircraft” lol
I honestly believe Howard Hughes would be a fan on this channel, he shared your love for aeronautics.
Great video! I love the Blackshape Prime and the Diamond Dart!
Some more worthy of mention include the Turbine Legend and the L-39.
Appreciated the information on these aircraft! Really love the Blackshape Prime too!
Your channel worth to subscribe, thank you Mike.
6:03 here you go! It's a John Goodman flying this plane! =D
I'm liking the shark aero more and more. Seems to be the fastest with a 912 and most efficient. Just found out there is one at a nearby airfield. If it's a fractional ownership one, I'm buying in at next opening. It will be mine :)
I saw your channel listed in my feed but this is the first video I clicked on. I’m subscribing 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Ay man always enjoying your videos. Great watch. Keep up the good work
L-39 Albatross trainer jet. Looks like a fighter. Faster than all of the airplanes listed. Raced at Reno. $150-400k on the used market. Since you added a turbo prop, bumped to the next level.
Kevin Moore yeah I’ve seen albatrosses and gnats for £120k. I’d rather have an actual fighter jet than spend 25 times that for a turbo prop that can’t go Mach 1
The L-39 is subsonic, but pretty fast for the money.
A nice way to burn money.
www.trade-a-plane.com/search?make=&model_group=AERO+L-39+SERIES&s-type=aircraft
Kevin Moore I promise you they can go super sonic.
But I never said anything about flying level or being responsible
LOL. When the first Lear jets came out a journalist passenger asked, "Will it go supersonic?" The pilot replied, "We have enough engine, not sure if the wings will still be attached after we pass Mach 1.
T-6, SNJ for more affordable, Yak-11 and Yak-9, and a few currently for sale. tS-11's and the occasional Lim-5 MiG. lots of 'real' options for $100k and up
"Another ultralight from Europe"
Awesome vid Mojo!!! I still say the Barberini Shark just a tad sexier than the Black Shape Prime look wise, but the standard options for the Prime sells it for sure. Pretty sure you can upgrade to the 914 on the Shark as well.
saw the blackshape a few years back. amazing. its got plenty room and it is high. one of the best. and the pilot gave us a good show.
For $3.1M you should be able to buy a L-159, which is an actuall military training jet fighter, and quite a lot of fuel with it.
My first thought, for a comparable aircraft at a better price point, was of the Shorts Tucano. Love those bad-boys. 👌
the l159 new goes for 15-17 millions depending on options..... nowhere near 3.1
Nice video, but would have liked to see the Pilatus Pc 21 or the pc 7 featured. Greetings from Switzerland
It is too expensive, did not?
Don't forget the Flying Legend Tucano R, which with a Rotax engine, 2 tandem seats and a price of 350,000 U$S is one of the best options at the moment. It is a beautiful machine, 70% the size of the original, the Embraer EMB-312 Tucano, the most beautiful and aggressive propeller plane ever made in my humble opinion.
Absolutely amazing man!!! I enjoyed this video a lot mate, thanks for the best videos regarding planes I've ever seen, very good job 👏 👏👏👍
Glad you enjoyed it Mario. Thanks for watching!
"Military Style Airplanes You Can Own As A Civilian" starts at 9:32. The rest are GA aerobatic experimental aircraft.
It’s basically a T-6 navy trainer
Hey there Mike, Ssooo glade that you have joined the unique family of private aviators ! My father started me off in the very narrow field of General Aviation at 9 years old. More than 40 years later, my heart is still there. Thank you for ALL of your vids. You are dfoing MORE to promote G.A. than any other person or group ! I truly hope that you are viewed as a positive Role Model.
Thanks for the video. Good information on planes I didn't know existed.
yak 52, aerobatic and that great radial sound.
It's amazing how much they get from the rotax in a few of them. They're 2/3's or so the performance at a fraction of the cost of other high performance planes. Although if the Diamond is anything like a Super Tucano it's going to be a awesome ride. My friend knows someone with a Shorts Super Tucano and it will leave you speechless. I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure it's got a 1100hp Garret up front and it's a rocket. I was smiling so much after a little ride it started to hurt. I'd possibly give up sex for one if it came with a unlimited budget to run it lol.
Now these are cheap versions, to get one that acts like a fighter jet, that isn't used by the military but has that characteristics. Is the Viper jet, cruise speed is 280mph and has a max speed of about 350 or more and u can fly about 1000miles
Wow! 😂 You sure have gained a lot more knowledge in the last five years. I’m curious how your interior turned out on that plane you were building awhile back. Dude, you are crushing it. 🙂
Hell of stuff!love it!
AS A PILOT FOR AN AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH COMPANY FOR 35 YRS. YOUR VID IS WELL PUT. THANK YOU. PILOT FOR JUDY IN THE SKIES WITH CAMERA. FT.LAUDERDALE FL. SINCE 1984. 🇺🇸
Another plane from Europe simmilar to the Shark is TL-ultralight Stream.
Despite all comments, these birds are beautiful, specially that Dart 450.
Thanks for sharing Mike :-)
I am sure i saw an RV-8 with a Radial engine somewhere
The builder patterned if after the Corsair with Navy Blue paint. There is a mini Corsair that was for sale recently.
I saw it also - 9 cylinder - super cool to look at and "hear" but the best package was another guy that has put together a high powered suzuki racing engine that costs half the price of the rotax and is a complete bolt on package firewall forward - saw both of them just yesterday
Mike, Enjoyed the video. I like that you’re featuring European ultralights which I think are very advanced and do not get enough coverage here in the US. There are a lot of great aircraft in Europe that Americans don’t know about. Maybe we’ll get our laws changed soon that will allow these aircraft to be sold in the US without the Experimental tag. Keep up the good work!
My kid got to do an introduction flight in an RV-8. It was so freaking cool. Young Eagles is an amazing group.
i come back to the video every now and then...man, what a bunch of awesome aircraft.
I nearly spit out my water when he said 3 mil. Not an unreasonable number for the plane, its just every other one he talked about was ~150k. Lol.
It's nice to meet other black people who are into aviation. Great vids man!
Hear we go again
These are totally cool I love them all great video!
I would have to agree with you. The Black Shape Prime looks awesome, like a 2/3 scale Supermarine Spitfire. Performace is phenominal for the engine size. I will take mine in Metalic Yellow (similar to the new 911 Turbo) thank you. Although I would like the pleasure of self built.
nice video...good work...ignore the trolls...keep making your videos....thank you
Someone is definitely going to call you on saying fighter JET instead of just fighter/military aircraft. I enjoy your content though, not many people going really in depth with lists like this on the regular for LSA's on TH-cam. Keep it up!
that was my very first thought as well. and if i had not read this, it would likely have been me O.o
Lorcan Kelleher ...this was mostly useless. ....wait...then jumps to a plane in development and really quoting prices? ...pretender.
You need to get an education. This report has too many false claims and statements to list. Complete BS, and like a fool, you eat it up!
Awesome video, thx!
Yes very nice indeed! But I think the most difficult desire, for a private pilot nowadays, is to have a four places single engine aircraft with basic aerobatic capabilities so thus to enjoy some aerobatics in an weekend and to go in vacation with the family next weekend. Practically nobody, as far as know, is producing any, except the Zlin 143 that have some capabilities. Remain the old ones as Yak-18T; some versions of Beech 33; the 70's IAR 823 (probably the best with real military appearance, but few remains); also the old Fuji FA-200 Aero Subaru and that's all I know, pretty shame...I think the Van's RV-14 will come with that desire and looking forward for the first appraisals.
Pipistrel Panthera if you have the money...
The Shorts Tucano MK1 (~1 mil) seems a much better deal than the Diamond Dart, if you want to go true military turbo prop trainer
You have a habit of saying knots per hour. That is incorrect, a knot already has time integrated, unlike miles that has no time integrated until you specify MPH... Other than that, I enjoy your videos. By the way, if you want to go over 200 knots in comfort get a pressurized Skymaster. $65,000 will get you one with 600ish hour engines and a 20,000 foot cruise altitude. The only plane I enjoyed fly more was a Lear 24.
there's one more you can add in, Flying Legend USA has a copy of the Super Tucano, either Kit or Certified as an LSA
D-MWJM take a look at that tail number. It's a majorly modified Rand S10 Sakota and it looks amazing! The last few photos I've found look like the wings may have been retrofitted with carbon fiber. The "Spark One" looks like a heavily modified S9 Chaos and it also looks amazing.
Thank you Mike for your videos & for this one in particular, i'm an engineer my self and an aviation fan, & let me tell you : your way of writting and reading the texts is very clear & understandable , you are doing a good professional job here, keep on, Salam (peace from Algeria)
Thank you Youcef
It looks comforting, maybe comfortable?
i'm not native english speaker, my english is classic (academic), i dont get your playing on words, i suppose its something negative , due to your name sounding american, lately you guys are becoming more & more this way, exept few of you (the smart ones as mike of this channel MojoGrip), to whom i have lot of respect.
Youcef Berkani So, You’re equating “Smart one’s” with one’s usage of Grammar and/or “playing on words”& you don’t even KNOW What’s being said/posted? Really? Seriously, if you’re using the term “academic” with ignorance [Your’s], then might I suggest you stay in school or stop being negative regarding things you’re obviously ignorant of! You don’t have a clue if Ronald’s being positive or negative, yet you castigate him as a matter of course. YES, ...I’ve made-up my mind, you SHOULD stay in school.🇺🇸
David A. Moore
ok, merci pour le feedback, (et tu parle trop).
I missed one thing from comments in this video.
Max allowed g +\- of these airframes ?
I was thinking the same thing. Claiming aerobatic capabilities necessitates a decent g load capability. Just because they look like it, doesn't mean they are capable. Some of these may be no more capable than a C172 for all we know, and the sleek aero design could be simply for speed and distance performance.
As an LSA these aircraft have to be certified to minimum +4-2 gs here in the USA. If they are certified for aerobatics then it’s +6-3 gs. That’s minimum as per regulation. They may very well be more than those numbers.
Thanks Mike /MojoGrip. A great summary . I built and fly a Vans RV4, the cheap fighter like airplane. Nothing, NOTHING , beats sitting on the centreline of an airplane. Thanks for your research into these aircraft. Amazing performance from the Euro carbon designs, the Rotax is a proven engine. But, my money is still in Aluminium and Lycoming..! ;D Cheers mate..!
Wowwww I just love that Shark.Aero!
Last one - umm - look at the Embraer A-29 Super Tucano - been around for quite some time! good luck with copying, um I mean, competing with Embraer!
Will check it out. Thanks.
Nope, The super tucano look like the Pilatus PC-7, PC-9. Embraer is good at copying Pilatus...um I mean competing with Pilatus.
@bojo perez The PC7 is not "maybe" older, it IS older than the tucano. The PC-7 is the father of all modern turbo trainers, PC-9 and Tucano included. (even the T-6 Texan II is a modified PC-9)
The issue is embraer wanna make a turboprop light aircraft a fighter and i don't think that's well work (It's only an opinion) it terms of speed maneuver attack and intercept. the diamond aircraft is a basic training aircraft for air force not a fighter u have to go through it so you can learn how to handle speed feel the aircraft maneuver, Acrobats and G force
Watch this video on 1.75x, trust me it’s the only way to not fall asleep
Hey man, love what you do. Is there any way to ask you a question some how?
Super Tucano my fab!
Anyway the Vans and the Diamond are very cool machines.
Alright, i will buy a retired 747.
I am helping my dad build a RV-8 he’s half way thru.
Great Video Tanks Dude ! !
Just buy an exUSSR fighter jet, like MiG 21
Better than that, buy a Let 39.
Aka "The Flying Coffin"
@Солнцевская Братва you're right. I'm a doofus
hahaha yeah does are both rare old and very unlikely to work fully they are rare which also means that they are expensive like at least half a million I would guess and there inst like a market for military jets so good luck with that
@@joule9255 they are far from rare, mig 21 is one of the most produced modern fighter jets. It might be tricky to acquire but if you know ppl shouldn't be much of a problem. Probably would cost upwards of 1 mil plus the maintenance, repairs and fuel would make that one million seem like a very cheap price. But its the real deal not some commercial toy.
Military? I don't think so...these are experimental planes, exept for the speed, nothing new...but they are beautiful , of course!
They look like glorified radio controlled toys. Not a patch on flying sub 200ft in a valley approaching supersonic!
The only thing remotely military about it is the fuselage looks a lot like a Tucano. with the swept canopy
Before doing aerobatics in an aircraft, make sure the engine can do negative g’s. Most engines are not rated for negative g’s and the engine will quit or cause damage when inverted. The RV-8 is only rated when you get the correct engine with inverted systems for fuel and oil. The turbo prop also may or may not be rated for negative g’s also.
Thx for relevant excellent airoplane news!
You should visit Kennedy Space Center & take a ride in a F104 star fighter.
Ah the flying coffin - lovely job!
The F104 is one of the sexiest fighter jets imo.
No, the USAF C-119 was the Flying Coffin (actually Boxcar). Worked on one with the P&W 4360 engines - that's 3,500hp each. Plus, made one Free Fall jump from one over Hondo, Texas. We flew out of Kelly AFB, Tx. without the clam shell door on. Was a fun jump.

I’d rather have a jet provost for 45-59k bargain ! !
Thank you Mike...
I still love the V-Tail Bonanza for fighter jet looks and for cruise speed (and the V-Tail Boogie - grin) - i grew up next to a navy base and later bought a house that was right on a straight line to the runway - I would climb up on the roof of my barn with cameras and video to get awesome views right inside the cockpits of the blue angels where you actually felt some of the heat from the afterburners - I later learned to fly on a short grass runway that was right at the edge of the airstation's restricted airspace - had the same dream to fly something fast and nimble - one of my flying buddies had the RV - later got the chance to fly in a plane and do spins - found out that aerobatics look cool, but son they can make you sick for several days - LOLOLOL - I like your videos, admire your dreams, and wish you the best -
funny you sad jets muliple times but you didnt show a single jet in the entire video all planes here are prop powered no jets mate
What about the turbo prop?
@@britishbalaclava still no Jet powered
theclockmaker turbo props use turbine jet engines which makes them jet powered.
@@nono9370 no
I love your videos, but you have one habit that unfortunately sets off my OCD. You keep saying "knots per hour". Knots are nautical miles per hour. It's already 'per hour'. So in my head you keep saying "nautical miles per hour per hour". Just say knots, that's how the word is used.
Chatsu8o So can't be knots per year then? A knot is a measure of distance only. You can record the knot against what ever time scale you choose. Time scales are not implied just commonly inferred.
Not to be blut but... No. Knots are specifically defined to be 1 nautical mile PER HOUR. See here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_(unit)
If you change that, you're changing the very definition of what a knot is.
Edit: and it most definitely IS NOT a measure of distance. The "nautical mile" is the measure of distance within a knot. But the knot ties the distance and the time together to form a unit of speed.
Yeh, quite right. I confused nautical mile with knot for a moment. Though never let it be said I don't own up to my mistakes even such that they are a rarity through my hand to behold. :)
One of your best videos. I want that Shark.Aero!!!
So it seems like a lot of people ignored the fact that the last aircraft is going to be used as a military trainer. But even if you do ignore that all of these aircraft have bubble canopy’s, highly maneuverable, and two seats with one behind the other. Not to mention some of these aircraft have flight controls that resemble an f16 layout with throttle on the left and flight stick on the right. There’s also the other ones that have a flight stick in between your legs like an f15. It shouldn’t be that incredibly hard for any one to tell that these resemble fighter jets.
"Military style"? Hmm... someone needs to work on their basic aviation knowledge.
Need to brush up on your military aviation knowledge
Ryan M. You need to pay attention more. Military is going to prop planes as trainers. He’s much more knowledgeable than given credit for. One military trainer is the A-29 Super Tucano. Resembles the Diamond.
Alaskan Shawn you can by f5, f4 phantom along with want other fighter-bombers. you can buy the tornado the Harrier jump jet. there's one f18 and one f16 that made it to market.the f16 might have crASHED so yes. you can actually buy military aircraft you might not actually think is available. not to mention the prop and turbo prob which include almost all of them. but go ahead and says this video has relevance to the title and story
militaries around the world though are starting to go to prop trainers
@@shawnmccrary5526 A-29 isn't a trainer. T-6, T-34, Grob, sure, but not an A-29. Military has ALWAYS used prop trainers for UPT and IFT.
Pilatus should make a civilian version of the PC-21, I had the chance to fly it once when I was in the Swiss Air Force, it was really impressive.
Neat .. so this is as close as you can get to feeling like a fighter pilot without being a fighter ?
I love flying but also wanna fly in 3-D not just a Cessna
"Knots per hour," huh?...and you have a private ticket? 🧐
Probably not.
64wing yes, I believe he has a private ticket. I’m sure he’s using the term to those who don’t understand what “Knots” are as he typically gives MPH as an example which is rarely used in aviation.
#1 "It does look like a fighter jet" Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm what about no ?
Some of these look like the trainers used by the military to simulate early ww2 light fighters. But mostly look like modern aerobatic planes.
Checkout the Pilatus PC-21 Turboprop 425mph Jet-Like Swiss Trainer. The lines of this Shark are a Spot-On Match!
Yeah, training planes, look cool and must be cool to handle
_ VesBraun The problem with that is that those aren't fighter jets. They do not utilize jet engines.
What about the A-10, not usual jet engines but still, I think, a fighter jet.
Love watching your videos.thanks.
Wow the Blackshape Prime reminded me of an Spitfire, cool. But holy moly the turbo prop engine plane looked like it meant business :P
i could buy a phenom 100 for the last one, and it would go twice the speed, have more range, be more powerful, more space, more comfort AND it’s a twin engine jet...
You can easily spend a lot more money each year on operating costs, though.
Knots per hour? Go look up the definition of "knot." And "military style"? C'mon now...
it's all about acceleration my dude
Your comments reflect on you, not on me. Go look up "knots per hour."
I suggest you upgrade your intellect Ed Crew. There has been widespread use of the term "knots per hour" going back over four hundred years by some very eminent voyagers. Admiral George Anson used the term in his book Anson's Voyage Round the World (1748), Captain James Cook used the expression in his book Voyages, (1790), Charles Darwin, used the term in his book The Voyage of the Beagle, (1839), and these are the top echelon of nautical people of their times.
the term was "knots an hour"
@@cucumberman1234567 I have to say that is a very good comment :) Rarely have I seen two people that were both so right :)
As a conclusion I want to add that obviously the unit "knot" means "nautical mile per hour" which is a bit unprecise. But at the same time you have to admit, that "knot" in its original utilization wasn't a distance either. I mean a knot was just a thingy in a line you threw into the water. So even back then they called it knot but instead should have called it "distance between two knots" which obviously seemed a bit too complicated I guess.
But today a "knot" in relation to the SI system is well defined and the usage here was wrong.
that diamond dart is dope !
Great video! May I suggest linking to the respective aircraft's webpages?
Light Sport, NOT Ultralight!
In the USA they're Light Sport, but in Canada they're classed as Ultralight. Terminology varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, what the USA calls Ultralight would be called Microlight in Europe.
Also note that some of these would not qualify for Light Sport certification because they have retractable gear, variable-pitch props, etc. which are allowed under the European Ultralight specs, but not the US Light Sport specs.
This guy knows nothing about aviation or aircraft, but posses as some authority on the subject. Total idiot !
Is all about the clicks. Look at me, I'm famous, yeah in your own empty mind.
your tone makes me sleepy🤪
Tune it for 1,5 x speed.
Holy NUTBALLS dude!!! The last one!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
You forgot the 400 knots turbine legend. This machine also have the garrett-edition for more speed. Also cheaper than the last Diamond aircraft.
they look rather like happy meals toys, not like "military" aircrafts
JajajajaJAh!!! A+!!!😝👀☣️🤧😱🤣🤬😉👻
So easy to criticize. How many of you even know how to fly? How many can pass the flight surgeon's physical?
Mark White Mike deserves the critique. It’s not gonna hurt him and he will produce even better content because of it. Honest feedback is a must. Also, it shouldn’t matter if you’re a real pilot or not as aviation knowledge is aviation knowledge. You either know it or you don’t. Mike doesn’t have an ego from what I can tell and I’m sure he’ll take the criticism positively and in stride.
7:20 Those are the mavericks from spruce creek! very cool guys. they are really good
Love your videos bro
No thanks you can buy a real P51 for less money and have a real fighter!!
Not for less money. P-51's are usually $5,000,000 to $7,000,000.
I intend to purchase a P-51, a P-47, a Corsair, a Hellcat, and well lots more. Yes, I am aware of the price.
anglosax100 if there was a p51 for less than 1 million i would probably already have it
Unfortunately, that is an unlikely thing to happen.
Erus, I hope you're rich. I mean, REALLY rich.
