Let me introduce you to the Brazilian turbocharged Montaer MC01. With Brazil becoming a major player in the aviation industry, it's no surprise that the Montaer MC01 is a great example of their airplane manufacturing expertise.
Drawing inspiration from the popular Paradise LSA and Tecnam high wing series, the Montaer boasts a unique design that offers enhanced comfort, safety, and performance. Its 141hp turbocharged Rotax 915is engine and DUC 4-bladed propeller deliver impressive power and a smooth ride. With a steel tubing frame and lightweight aluminum skin, you can feel the quality and craftsmanship that has gone into the MC01. And a detail I personally love, the montaer incorporated yokes from top-of-the-line Beechcraft airplanes, which just adds to its premium feel.
The Montaer MC01's interior is simple yet luxurious, which provides a comfortable and enjoyable experience for pilots. The dual Garmin G3X glass cockpit is the centerpiece of the airplane's impressive technology, making it a serious contender for both light sport pilots and hard IFR cross-country aviators alike.
Montaer MC01 with Rotax 915iS Performance:
Cruise at 75% power - 120 knots (LSA rules limited)
Useful load - 440 lbs
Range - 700 miles
Takeoff distance - 440 ft
Rate of climb - 1300 ft/min

So with full tanks it can carry 2 108lb people... How is that a cross country machine?
@@seanmedcroft1210 Yeah... 😑
They should be able to.increase the weight with mosiac rules. They just introduced a new four seater in anticipation of the mosiac going into law next year
Turbo and only 440lb useful load? So it’s pretty much just a college kid plane and trainer.
Thanks for the preview. Looks like an awesome LSA.
Love the yokes and the rest of this HW LSA!
Really impressive.
4 bladed prop is awesome!!!
Very nice! And maybe it's just me, but I am glad to see it has a yoke instead of a stick.
Essa aeronave é espetacular top top.
Look good this MC01👍
For those who dont know, FAA has released a NPRM for new light sport expansion.
1. Weight to 3000lbs
2. Speed to 250 knots
3. Constant speed prop
4. Retractable gear
5. Four place aircraft
6. Helicopters
7. Turbine and multi engine
8. Night flying
so I don't get it.. what does it mean that FAA changed what it's mean for Light Sport category? ... I don't understand. ie: let's say for Van rv12 is a LS plane right ? does this new change matter ?
explain
thx
@phillp7777 the new rules when made law in 2024 will mean that lifhtbsport pilots will be able to fly aircraft with a max weight of 3000lbs plus. No longer limited to 120knots but can go up to 250knots. No longer limited to fixed prop but can fly constant speed prop. No longer limited to fixed gear aircraft but can fly retractable gear. No longer limited to rv12 two seats and can fly four seat aircraft like a cessna or piper archer.
@mauriceevans6546 so im hearing night flight will need a medical. I'm not sure why a person who can get a medical would get a sport pilot over a ppl, but that's what im underetanding from the proposal.
@JoeCnNd that may change in the final rule. I have no interest in Night flight. I am more interested in 250 knots, constant speed prop, retractable gear and four seats
@@mauriceevans6546 yeah, i wrote them to make it non medical.
I own an LSA and have inspected most models available in the USA. This airplane seems to have found a way to reduce it's weight while still giving a huge cabin. I am not sure that I believe their numbers, particularly when compared to a Bristell that has gone to exotic materials to reduce weight, has a simpler design, and is still heavier.
Beauty
great video, I like the minimalist Front cowling. I was in the Manket For a LSA, I saved money for 20 years I had the cash on hand in 2021, but the prices started to go up and up and up ..... prices are so horrible now... I gave up...
Build a Zenith 650 with a Honda engine and see 144 mph at 4000 feet! Plus 6, minus 3 G’s for light aerobatics
"I think it's a very nice aircraft."👍
People forget that the Rotax 915 has 141 hp during takeoff, but has 135 continuous hp during cruise. It’s basically a 135 hp engine, just as the new Rotax 916 is a 137 hp engine.
Yep, which is exactly what an O-360 lycoming puts out at max cruise setting (75% of 180hp= 135hp). The benefit of the 915/916 is holding that power above where the lycoming starts wheezing out. Basically anything above 10k feet, the Rotax makes more power.
@@gmonnig And MoGas!
Mosaic is going to open all these planes to faster engines and much higher speeds.
People also forget it’s 135 up to 14,000 ft which makes it beat a lycoming 320 past 8,000 ft
@@markdoan1472 Not to mention it’s lighter weight.
I really wish there was a dealer in Australia.
Nice video 👍🏻 👍🏻
What’s with both hands on the yoke? Controls that heavy? Keep one on the throttle!

@@mauriceevans6546
So what it's mean ? Did FAA basically expand the LS category to " allow" include all yur above list of 8 things can be done like Night Flying even in present LS ac ? ex: Van's rv12 ?
Why did FAA do it ? why now ? Why are pilots surprised?
@phillp7777 mosaic rules have been in the works for 10yrs. Those 8 things and some other things will become law next year and light sport will be defined by the new expansion of privileges.
Hard to believe it qualifies as light sport!
That aircraft is absolutely beautiful!!!! So this can be registered as a “light sport” plane??
Yes it sure can!
@@FloridaFlying Wow! Between the over all specs and the price for one brand new I would take one over a Cessna trainer ANY day of the week!
Is it available with a ballistic chute?
Pricing?
Hello good morning, I'm your follower here in Brazil, does this plane have air conditioning?
Nice design, but I've seen some manufacturing lack of quality on them... (I hope they've improved it). They've been used as trainers, but the landing gear is not super reinforced, so it can be used as a trainer, but I thin is more suited as a privet owmed acft.
I think Rupert Aircraft is an option too.
Hi… What’s your opinion about maintenance and pieces substitution (when it’s necessary)? Thanks.
Low main (if used as intended...), engine parts you can probably find easily in the US (it's a Rotax). And airframe parts... They can be easily made if needed (I don't know if montaer import them).
Just like the Cessna 177 Cardinal...
Hola que precio tiene y donde es la fabrica?
Is there a UK dealer?
Now its only cracking the suface with the update.
#100👍So cruise speed and gallons per hour in cruise? Price?
Great video, however that headset microphone is awful.
How much with a brs? Can you train me?
Can they make this into a
TAILWHEEL? If so they this plane will be a hit. Will be. Used as a gentle bush or hard grass stripes.
Is the intercom audio typical or was something else going on?
Yeah that was terrible.
Lightspeed mic....
@@rocketmanpm More likely the problem si down to the incorrect positioning of the mike.
How much does it cost?
Wow. This plane can weigh 3000 lbs now explain what can be done!
Anything with a castering front wheel is NVG.
It might be worth the cost to have dynamic propeller balancing done on your plane. I'm sure there are people in your area that offer the service.
Yeah I am planning on doing that for peace of mind. It is very smooth compared to continental and lycoming, but I have also been in rotax powered airplanes that are just buttery smooth.
is that big thing w all GA prop planes? .. prop being balanced or checked at least ? how often ? never heard of that rly... didn't know it could be out of balance. How does a&p balance it ? is it any like tire balance w added small wgts to certain specific spot(s) on rim ?
Wing loading??
That scoop on the 'hood' looks as if the pilot landed in the middle of nowhere and there was this backwoods garage.
The pilot says "Hey, I need more air here, what can you do for me?!"
Garage Hick responds "Lemme see what 'ah got."
Garage Hick displays his new creation, a scoop on the flying machine hood made entirely of an aluminum tray used to bake a turkey---saved from the recycle bin.
Lol! No question a nice NACA duct would be nicer looking and more effecient.
@@Bravo21 little do you know!
@@chippyjohn1 so why not enlighten is all... gzzz ..what sa
@@phillp7777 A NACA duct as he calls it is efficient in redirecting low pressure air inside the cowling or air frame. However, for an intercooler it requires high pressure air, a NACA duct would simply have the air flow over it, not into it. The intercooler would have to be much larger to accommodate the lack of flow that a NACA duct provides. Intercoolers are very restrictive in air flow so they need pressure, hence the scoop.
Yeah that scoop was definitely an afterthought, so many better ways they could've approached that in both appearance and drag reduction.
so even with the 915is it's still classed as an LSA?
Yes, my understanding is that LSA is a top speed and weight limitation only
that cream is nasty tho
Can't find how push the limits i'm curious
They don't mention price.
Depending on engines and options, $170k to $260K
That is a top-of-the-line VFR panel. For IFR you need a certified navigator such as a 175,375,650 or 750. The salesman mentioned that they have space for the navigator, but I don’t think a certified Light Sport can be IFR rated unless the owner
converts it to Experimental.
I’d love to be wrong about this, so please chime in!
A single G3X with a 650 would cost pretty much the exact same amount and make the plane substantially more capable. I don't understand the dual G3X thing in single pilot airplanes
It can be used as an IFR trainer, but can’t fly actual IMC as a light sport. Once designated as a light sport, you can’t re-designate it as an experimental. Once designated, forever designated. It must be designated an experimental initially. If homebuilt, that’s easy, if manufactured and purchased, it must be designated for racing and air show use only and paperwork is more complex to be experimental. “Normal” flights are then treated as “training and proficiency flights” in the racing and air show category. IMC is theoretically doable in this configuration, but as light sports may not be certified for lightning, it may or may not be wise. Also, light sports are speed limited, experimentals are not. Talk to a Pipistrel deal for details on this.
Can a Sport licensed pilot fly this?
Unfortunately audio quality in the coms was very bad 👎🏼
Price?
180k
LSA limits. Looks heavier and faster. Is it approve ASTM to S-LSA Standards?
Max. Gross Takeoff Weight 1,320 lbs -AND- Max. Speed in Level Flight (SL) 138 mph / 120 knots CAS
2 adult men & under 1320lbs gross? I have doubts.14:38 "if you want to carry a lot". Sorry LSA's are not made to carry a lot.
New LSA rules announcement expected by August.

@mauriceevans6546 Yes Mosaic. August? Sure. It's way behind schedule. The people who started it in FAA have left, and the new people are clueless, maybe DE&I hires. The past dead-lines have come and gone before. They BIT OFF more than they could chew, tried to have ONE umbrella for UAV's and LSA and general aviation and more all in one, They NOW are trying to untangle all of that, separate them.
However a LSA airplane is and will still be a LSA. If you exceed current limits, then you will not be an LSA. LSA is still going to be LSA's. This yet undefined enhanced category above LSA (passably retract gear, controllable prop, higher weight, faster speeds) amd below Certified Standard Category planes, will likely require additional pilot requirements and medical requirements, plus other rules and Regs. It is a MESS.
WHO KNOWS. We have not seen it and been promised it for a long time. I doubt we will see anything soon. It is like Positive ID of Drones with beacons over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi anyone can access. Without it you are limited to ONLY flying in a designate flying zone. That deadline is near and still no standard to comply. The GOV is full of dumb underworked over paid incompetent bureaucrats, and sadly now woke socialist neo Marxist beholding to China, who paid them off. They are too lazy and lack discipline and focus. Their brains have been rewired by TikTok short videos for dopamine rushes. I have little faith in Giv now and expect FBI will raid my home for disagreeing and criticism of Gov tyrants.
@gmcjetpilot yes! It's way overdue, I am not buying a new plane until I know what if any changes are made. It would have been so simple to just adopt the European rules for light sport or microlights. That would absolutely been a game changer. We will have to see.
@gmcjetpilot I have discovered that the private pilot glider rating( 10hrs min) is an excellent opportunity as well.
No medical
Flight to 18,000ft
Night flight
Flight out of the country( as rating is accepted in all countries)
Limited to powered gliders like pipestrel sinus or alpha trainer.

140 horse Light Sport?
oh yeah, it’s pretty amazing
Bristell already has 915 in their light sport aircraft
That front Cowl design is atrocious. So many other companies are doing cowling for the 915 so much better.
Cooling for really hot, steamy, flying.
It would be if it wasn’t functional, but since it is, I’ll give it a pass.
Large entryway? Let’s see some measurements. That looks like a back killer. Unless you’re a 20yo Brazilian. Nice plane, though.
why don't you find a plane that can land on a very short runway i have seen them and they're great
I am hoping on making a video like that soon
@@FloridaFlying great, your videos are super
Thank you very much, I appreciate that
@@FloridaFlying When ever in DeLand, if the Twin Otter is flying skydivers, I recommend heading over and taking an observer flight.
I'm a skydiver but still find it a bit odd to take off with 20 people and land with only 2.
It's an amazing airplane and the ride down is almost as much fun as a skydive. Ask for the STOL landing. A bit over 700 feet of runout. That after a descent approaching the neighborhood of Vne.
That’s a great idea. I used to skydive in Deland too, but I always have wanted to make a video about their planes
The audio in this video needs a lot of help.
If it’s a Paradise clone the height limit of the pilot is 5’8”.
is hgt rly that restrictive.. only
5' 8" is max ? nobody that short ? lol lol..
Is hgt a big deal rly in LS ac ?
For Van's rv12 can u be comfortable able at 6'1" ?
is that just a mfg suggestion or FAA rule sorta?
You need to redone this video and let me know what can be done with new mosaic rules.
I wish pilots would learn to place their mics just below thier lower lips
Spoke a lot of words but didn’t actually say anything? “36 gal of fuel that helps with long range”. What does that mean?
Looks nice but man the radios sound awful. Sheesh I could hardly understand him. That could be just the recorder or something but it's not near as clear as your other aviation videos.
LSA cannot fly faster than 120 mph so what would be the need for a 4 bladed prop? LSA is limited to 1320 lbs gross weight, so that means with 2 people you could not have full fuel without being over the gross weight. If the plane weighs more than 800 lbs., there is nothing left for any people. Light Sport in Europe and South America is quite different than the USA.
It makes it more universal, I had to drop down to light sport, hopefully temp, I could buy this, be light sport legal then when I can get a medical, it would have better performance that I would want to be able to access
Light sport rules announcement expected by August.

The number of blades on a prop has nothing to do with max speed. In a very general sense, more blades often give you better acceleration and climb performance at slower speeds along with less noise. It used to be that more blades meant you needed those because you couldn't fit a max diameter two blade prop due to ground clearance, and those props weren't very efficient and hurt performance. These days there are so many caveats to prop and blade design that the number of blades a prop has is near meaningless now that composite blades are available that offer radically different profiles than traditional metal or wood blades. Two blade props used to be the gold standard for efficiency back when all blades had the same basic design, but these days they're able to get three, four, and five blade props with better efficiency and fewer drawbacks than those two blade props. The high aspect ratio blade profiles of composite props are far more efficient but need more blades to absorb the same amount of power as a chunky aluminum two blade prop. So the answer to your question is because that particular prop offer better performance across the entire flight regime, not just top speed.
What limits is this airplane pushing, exactly? It doesn't seem to be particularly impressive by any metric.
I have 80 hours.
Useful load? 38 gallong of gas is >230 pounds.
(1/21/2024) $259,000 in case you were wondering.
And it costs WHAT? There will be Nobody with any money soon let alone enough for any aircraft, there will be piles of planes left in piles behind the ex hangars that nobody can afford.
True...the looming trainwreck of a recession is gonna bite hard on general aviation.

@@flyinghigh5031 I can see this being viable if one is willing to do a lease-back with a responsible FBO training enterprise. What a great platform for three things: 1. Training students through the Sport Pilot exam; 2. Ab-initio training for first few hours in order to vet students' ability to receive in-flight training and 3. Transition pilots into glass panels as an affordable practium on modern flight directors.
The idea of light sport was to make it affordable that was lost
I don't understand why you think this is IFR-certified.
both passenger better weigh 150 each no more, thats with half fuel and light bags. 420lbs for fuel, oil, and body weights total.
All of these higher performance, light sport aircraft are designed to technically be flown legally under the light sport certificate, but the unwritten rule is, it will definitely be flown at a higher weight.
I think they are anticipating the LSA rule change to add enough weight increase to 1500 to 1700, that the useful load will be more than enough
$145,000.00
Audio recording in the plane is awful
"quality and craftsmanship"...door handles from a '93 Toyota Corolla. lol Although it is a sharp looking little airplane.
No parachute no buy.
141 hp and monster dont really belong in the same sentence. Thats substantially less power than a typical trainer.
Yet has better performance than a C172 180hp model. Power to weight is King.
If you consider a Cessna 150/152... Then it's not substantially less...
“Unique design”?? This is almost a 100% clone of the Tecnam
Terrible example of handoff of control. Wow. Standard is three phase, not let go of the yoke and say it’s all yours.
It’s time we get an other engine on the market. Rotax is overpriced and an OLD design!
Well... Newer than Continental and Lycomings for sure...
