    Open cockpit flying is honestly the most liberating feeling! Whether it is a Stearman or a Bathawk.

    Back in the Archean - well 1990 actually - I learnt to fly on a B22 Bantam at Waihi New Zealand. The Bat Hawk is a development of the Bantam which I think was designed and built by Max Clear at Hamilton New Zealand. It was very easy to fly, my log book says solo after 3.8 hours instruction, and it was great fun flying around the Coromandel and Waikato, landing on otherwise inaccessible beaches, and small cropdusting strips high in the hills. The aero club CFI was an ex cropduster pilot with 20,000 hours and he taught us not to rely on our instruments (rudimentary as they were) but to fly using our senses. To me that was the essence of flying. Loved flying that Bantam and this clip and your infectious laughter bought back a lot of memories. Thank You!!!

    What a nice machine. I did a lot of flying many years ago on a CDL pipe and fabric microlight designed and built by a friend Colin Liddle. It was some of the most enjoyable flying l have had.
    It is nice to fly fast complex machines but for the pure joy of flying one can not beat such a machine. I would very much like to get a ride in this one

    Very nice. I've long said the Bathawk is a low-budget entry into Bush flying. I haven't yet flown in one myself, but from conversations with several pilots flying these they are often dismissed for not being a "real" airplane, and are somewhat underrated.

    Actually the Micro Aviation B22 Bantam was developed by Max Clear in Te Kowhai NZ (passed), quite a few were exported and the Papa's family have evolved the design but essentially its a B22, cool to see the legacy continue/evolve and a great watch thank you.

  • @allenmorseiii295
    @allenmorseiii295 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I can't help thinking how the Bat Hawk would be, converted to full electric power! I do know it would probably be heavier due to the battery system that would be required. The electric motor would probably be lighter however! However you might be able to get two hours flying time out of it if done efficiently. That would be an interesting conversion!

      Yes that indeed is the brake lever. The throttle is also on both sides making it dual control.

    Thanks for the video; it appears to an absolute fun machine. I am in Canada and like most areas we have many small lakes. Any idea if this unit has had floats (pontoons) designed. I can imagine it being excellent for our northern lake areas for fly in fishing.

    • @jonathanshaw7884

      They have actually designed and tested floats for the BatHawk. So it would be awesome to see how it works on lakes!

    The hair, the hair, the hair…please don’t fly like this. You had a lot of fun 🤩 that’s awesome. It looks like a C22 in modern version. Ok, the Jabiru you must have a love to this engine. I would change it to Rotax 914/ 915. And the wind sucks in the seat position. Needs some doors I guess. Glad, you enjoy flying so much.

    Obviously anyone who owns one of these needs to keep a couple extra baseball caps in the cockpit for anyone who forgets to bring their own. Hahaha! :-) Anyone know of one of these in southern Nevada or thereabouts? What kind of fuel economy and range does this plane have?
