i love how its a military style plane, but is literally also a luxury speed demon. the seats and interior looks beautifully laid out and very comfortable
Looks a bit like the Piper Enforcer, an early 80s attempt by Piper to produce a close support aircraft for the military. It was essentially a Fire-breathing P-51.
Sweet plane but it has an arduous history. Just like the ViperJet, they are all one off custom jobs, that are not snap together kits like you would find in an RV, Sonex or Kitfox. Major money, major time and pilot requirements leaves these "toys" to the one percent'ers.
What are the particulars on the building of this bird? Can you describe what the kit provides? How many hours were put into it and by whom? What specialized skills and tooling are required? What is the ultimate cost of this particular build including engine and avionics? It appears to be a very nice machine. I’m sure it’s fun but is it also practical for two people on a trip in terms of range, max gross, c.g., and baggage capacity?
@@geraldthomas5915 I'm not sure what numbers you were looking at. But at $500,000 to build one, or $300,000+ for a used one, it is a little more expensive than most cars. And burning 50-70 GPH isn't chicken feed either. I am an airplane owner, and fly as often as weather allows.
baron hyatt , not one but two drop tanks one for each wing. Of course then I’d want a couple more hard points for “goodies” to carry then about 400 more horsepower to handle it all. Nah, just plunk down a couple of mil for al surplus F4 Phantom 2 !!!
William Hernández my favourite plane on earth! Simplicity of propeller drive with the lightweight , jet fighter performance, efficiency and the reliability of a gas turbine!
Sadly, lawyers have made aviation so expensive that planes like this are beyond the price range of most pure pilots until they are almost too old to properly enjoy the machine’s full envelope. Happy to intern for someone who can afford a few of these and learn how to myself!
crazyskyguy it’s not just lawyers, be real. A 300+ knots turbine airplane with modern avionics. Your point might rain true with light GA aircraft (a Cherokee used to cost the same as an average car, now it’s ~$350k) but a fast turboprop would never be cheap enough for the average joe to afford.
At high altitudes it runs best on Fushfush (a chicken that was yelled at for three hours before being run over by a Mercedes Benz, according to Family Guy...)!
It has an aggressive look ...Just add to the airframe a minigun pod , a couple of AA training missiles and a head up-display. You will have a "puma cub" to train the Air Force . Ah, do not forget to give me credit for this idea, please. ( joke)
Piecing together the clues about the engine sounds like a Walter M601. Landing airspeeds sound similar to my RV7A. What is the range, fuel burn, fuel capacity? How was it to build, costs and factory support? Any quick build options like Vans Aircraft has?
Why should it be conventional? Tricycle must easier to operate. There are plenty of tail draggers out there. If that is your thing then go get one, but why try to make others into that, that arent?
NoName. NoName. Sure you can have your opinion about it. Just the same as l can have my opinion that tricycle is the way to go. Just as the designer can have their opinion as well. That's all totally fine, but why not base it on some reasoning? e.g It should have a conventional gear because _____.
Hope they improved the fuel capacity on these... it was ridiculously small. Something like 45 minutes plus a 15 minute reserve. A buddy was thinking of removing the fire bottle to get 5 more gallons of gas in his Legend. He was killed in the aircraft before he made the mods.
Ik this is an old comment, but they have a 145 gallon capacity. Even at 40 gallons/hour fuel burn, that gives you over 3 hours endurance. Not sure where you got your numbers...
soo looking at speed numbers alone, this is almost exactly on par with a Battle of Britain era Spitfire mk1 .......... i NEED one of these in my life.... welp buy $2 ticket tomorrow in the lotto all i can do lol
No you don’t. Get an RV-8. It’s almost all of what this thing is. It can pull the same G forces, do the same maneuvers, looks almost the same from the inside and on the outside. Can takeoff and land quicker. Has more endurance. The only way an RV-8 comes up short is climb rate (but not necessarily climb angle since the RV climbs at a much slower speed), top speed, and the ability to sustain high G. But if you’re flying this to have fun, things taking longer is usually better.
Engines are often the downfall of new designs. Turboprops are expensive and thirsty. If the turboprop cost was similar to an IO-540, this would be a more popular option. Meanwhile a used L-39 trainer jet can be had for under $400k. Which might be why there is a race class for them at Reno.
Most new designs are built around a Lycoming, Continental, or Rotax four cylinder. Plenty of planes that approach this in ramp presence, experience, and performance. The RV-8 comes to mind. Especially when you consider that the Legend will have to stop for fuel twice as often as the RV-8.
Looks like the small cousin of the P-51 Mustang or the P-63 Kingcobra ... with some modern flare.
I was gonna say a p63 kingcobra
good point.... now that I think about it looks like (2/3) P-63 and (1/3) P-51 and slightly smaller
either of those, or super tucano would destroy this little kit plane toy
What about a Pilatus PC-7?...
If it had the scoop it would be a 3/4ths mustang with a turbine engine
i love how its a military style plane, but is literally also a luxury speed demon. the seats and interior looks beautifully laid out and very comfortable
Nice small aerobatic and trainer turbopropeller plane!!Awesome maneuvers!!!👏👏👏🤘🤘❤
Like a P-51 and a P-39 got together for a night of drunken passion and nine months later...
The new Garrett Turbine Legend pulls 10,000 fpm. I need to experience this in my lifetime
Looks like a modern P-40/P-51with some Airacobra added in !
Max speed ?
Thats a lot of horsepower.
Nice airplane, fly safe.
Reminiscent of the Piper Enforcer, which was a fire-breathing P-51 that never made it into production (that I know of). Pretty airplane.
WOW What a beauty, the belly bulge really helps it look like a P-51.

THANK YOU FOR THE EDIT. now I can enjoy the interview.
The music is really irritating and it actually does the opposite of what you think it "adds" to the production value et al.
AGREED. So many attractive features get ruined by crappy music. This was one of the worst.
Put a PT6 in it and then let’s talk power
Walter are a fraction of the price!
i see you everywhere
I was just thinking that! Someone put a big TPE-331 in one!
Sweet! Looks nice too. Nice paint job.

all turbine toys are for big bucks. at least there are ppl with the dough so we can at least see them. else it would be all airliners...
@vibratingstring - Aviation runs on money it's not for everyone even the RC versions aren't cheap
@Dogman Then all our doctors will be from Pakistan, India and Saudi Arabia.
I need this in my life.
I WANT ONE! Let me win the lottery real quick.
Me too
Go head over to the Massachusetts Windfall Lotto, watch the vids on how it gave you free money
My dream plane! I want a Turbine Legend with the Garrett engine!
tucanos are no where in the same league. this is a neat toy, the other a real war machine.
beautiful plane. no music please
....what a little BEAUTY!!!

All it takes is $$$$$
And time, being a kit build.
😭😭😭😭😭 I know. I don't have nuff $$$$!!!!😭😭😭
And that’s why they went out of business
200 kts cruise with a TOTAL cost the same as owning the average car. That’s what aviation needs !!

It'd be nice if you can put a drop tank on it increase the range

It doesn't hurt that it looks much like the P-51 without the extended cooler underneath.
Gotta love that intentionally homage. It didn't have a radiator, but they decided to give it that bulge anyways.
P-39 + P-51 =This plane
39, 51 or tucano could blow this plane away
William Hernández my favourite plane on earth! Simplicity of propeller drive with the lightweight , jet fighter performance, efficiency and the reliability of a gas turbine!
P-39 + P-51 = 2P-90
I should like to see more videos of this plane...please & thank you!
Air Evac chopper, lol! I may have been flying that one.
Thanks for letting us know it will run both economically and non-...were you going to give us any NUMBERS???
I thought it was out of production.. good to see it flying.

@@TheJacobshapiro No way a used Cherokee is 350k
@runway_incursion what's he saying then?
@runway_incursion ah I didn't know they still made em
Horizon hobby has your foamy ready in the box.👍
BADASS!!!!! the only missing thing are six .50 Brownings.
I must have one of those! I’d give it a different livery and put a nice pinup girl on it :-)
Just wait until I hit the Mega Millions or Powerball...just wait!
I wish I'd learned to fly when I was younger.
If you can pass a flight medical it's never too late
Narrator: *Talking about the plane's performance and specs*
Me: Yea yea I don't need any more convincing shut up and take my money! 😍
"And what do you want for christmas little boy?"
Looks like the company has disappeared, the website is gone, domain is for sale.

Sweet! I want one, all I need now is a big bag of money! =)
If I were a rich man...Yaga digi digi Dee.. song from Fiddler on the Roof! Then...I would fly this airplane.
Do turban engines run on falafel?
only if flying over middle east and north africa 😂
At high altitudes it runs best on Fushfush (a chicken that was yelled at for three hours before being run over by a Mercedes Benz, according to Family Guy...)!
Nice looking plane😊
A few numbers would have been nice but a really cool airplane!!!
This makes me want to get a pilot license

That's one pretty airplane. Too bad the comment didn't last.
nice airplane. good for surveillance missions..

Nice shot of an Air-Evac Lifeteam helicopter taking off too! What airport was this?
Should be a taildragger
Lets pretend it's a P-39
Actually It looks like a P-39 when I see its nose and body alone
Naah it looks better this way

Reminds me of the F51 Cutlass
Performs just like the T-6 Texan II
That is so cool!

Someone at my local airport crashed this on takeoff into a bail of hay and wrote it off.
it looks like mustang and cobra decide to have kids together
Dream Machine
Where I can buy this model. Could you give me the link? Many Thanks
legendaircraft.com/
AAArrrgghh....so cool! I want one!
Looks like a P-39
Combined with a P-51 Mustang, makes it bad. P-39 for life
A front engine p63
P-39 or tucano could destroy this kit plane toy
@@hahaLOLhaha72 37mm shells for life!
I'd bet the airframe wouldn't hold up well to punishment of recoil from any armament, just saying.
The wings look like they would have a Hard stall profile
They have that too-small/too thin/ stall-happy look to me, but what do I know (?).
its wings and tail is p-51 and the body is a p-63 like they fuse together..
This thing I want to fly and compare it to the P51
That is a modern day p51 mustang.
I'm confused on how this is classified as an Ultralight, and you are not required to have a pilots license???
Nice performer.
How about some VNE and cruise numbers?
Nice plane.
This would be fun to fly
I wonder if it can be a War plane, too.
Much affirmative goin' on!
Sure looked nice
soo looking at speed numbers alone, this is almost exactly on par with a Battle of Britain era Spitfire mk1 .......... i NEED one of these in my life.... welp buy $2 ticket tomorrow in the lotto all i can do lol

A T34C in slick clothing.
He forgot to put the landing gear up on that first climb out!!!
A P-51 in it's final form
It's gone way beyond super sayan
Now that is awesome!
"oh wow its amazing such a great aircraft look at all these features" basically describing any plane ever built like its special
US air force looking to replace their A10s but don't want A29s:
How about defrosting and deicing ? is possible to order also components for that?
It would be my little flying🐅
Wow, I want one 😀
1:10 i wonder what that black face smasher is there for ?
is the selling price friendly?
The engine alone is over $200,000
No, its not friendly at all. Just the fuselage kit and interior are 250k, then there is the engine and instruments from the looks of the page.
Engines are often the downfall of new designs. Turboprops are expensive and thirsty.
If the turboprop cost was similar to an IO-540, this would be a more popular option.
Meanwhile a used L-39 trainer jet can be had for under $400k. Which might be why there is a race class for them at Reno.
Still very cheap compared to Rolls Rose Merlin. Or a jet.
Most new designs are built around a Lycoming, Continental, or Rotax four cylinder.
Plenty of planes that approach this in ramp presence, experience, and performance. The RV-8 comes to mind. Especially when you consider that the Legend will have to stop for fuel twice as often as the RV-8.
When the Walter was readily available, you could find one for io 540 price
Great idea. Pity it didn’t last 12 months before company went broke
What a mustang would be if it was still manufactured
Would it fly into spectators though?
The make of a true mustang.😁
What's the name of this plane?
Looks like a little P-51
Goddamn, I really want one now :D
Is the back seat lower?
Razorfish higher
No it's higher, similar to military trainers.
Razorfish The front seat it lower
Would be cool if they made a taildragger version
Fabulous!
Aeronave muito interessante! 🌟
I loved to own one.
Steveokinevo needs to fly this once.
Venom Legend domain is for sale. Guess they shut down.
