  • @DanFrederiksen
    @DanFrederiksen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice that it's easy to build. I get the purpose of the wires and struts but just seems to me it's easier to have that bit of strength in the wing so you don't need that complexity.
    And I wonder if a lower wing would't be the better stol plane because the ground effect is even closer. We are used to stol plane having this boxy colonial era shape but I wonder if the double curved shape of a teardrop glider style fuselage couldn't be strong as a single thin shell of carbon fiber, thus as light or lighter than a fabric plane yet have great aerodynamic shape. The ideal is a combination of ultra low landing speed and high cruise. I wouldn't be surprised if a 2 seater 912uls stol plane could cruise at 330km/h. Or in other words, you couldn't tell it's a stol plane other than having slightly chubby feet.

    • @realtormouser
      @realtormouser 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      High wing planes are used for STOL/Bush planes to help keep the wings protected from hitting stuff on the ground in an off field landing. It's part of the reason a lot of them are taildraggers as well (keeps the prop from hitting things).

  • @barking.dog.productions1777

    Wow, I'm loving this plane. Very robust and simple, economical, and STOL. It looks like my short list on my first plane just grew between this and the Aventura II. Both can be rigged to land on water, but I prefer the flying boat design over floats. Floats can dig in and flip the plane - a flying boat is never going to do that, so it can land in a bit rougher conditions.

    Can someone tell me why the term is "Bush" as opposed to "Brush" ? Did the name come out of a local dialog such as the upper northwest of the American-Canadian continent? I've always thought it's a reference to raw fields or a given unimproved woodsy area that can accommodate STOL.

    Egh it’s ugly and 300ft isn’t that impressive for a fully fabric plane the has vortex generators. It would be ok if it went fast but it doesn’t do well there either. Personally I would just get a kit fox or cub or anything other than that

      This costs less (waaaaayyyyy less than a Carbon Cub!) and can be built way faster than a Kitfox, that's the draw.
      I'm most interested in the Rans S21 Outbound. Seems like a great mix of faster build time, STOL performance, cruise speed and cost. Factory says it will go together in 550 hrs, takeoff in 325ft and cruise up to 155mph with a Titan 340 180hp engine. Not an LSA in that config, but I don't care about LSA or not.
