Um. BD5J, thunder mustang, Lancair super legacy, viper jet, Lancair evolution, epic LT, glasair III, wheeler express, F1 rocket, Berkut, Lancair IV-P and PT... literally all faster than everything on this list and all actually fly.
Holtzy_Vref - i have a BD-5 and also wondered why it’s not on the list. Anyone can call up BD-Micro Technologies and order a BD-5J jet from them today. They have made many upgrades beyond the original. Their number is 541.444.1343.
Back in the spring of 1996, a workmate and I attended the EAA's Sun 'n Fun in Lakeland, Florida. He had put down a deposit on a homebuilt "paper airplane" - a concept design, that was taking a long time to get to realization. The designers had their non-flying prototype with them. Right then and there, my friend began arranging for a refund. Seems the performance numbers had begun to slide, and the price was going up. My bud eventually got back most - not all - of his money. His experience was a gift to me. BTW, my bud subsequently built an RV-6, and then a -10. All of these designs in this video are unquestionably cool, even exciting. But anyone with CAD savvy can draw a cool and exciting airplane and slap specs and performance numbers on it. Sure, the designer needs dollars to develop their concept into an actual flying machine, but I'd be very careful about taking the bait just because someone throws 200kts against the wall to see how many people jumps at it. Plus, I'm not a test pilot. I wouldn't own/test fly any of the first ten, or even twenty runs of a new design.
SUBSONEX has been flying for years. Paul Dye, NASA's longest serving director of flight, built and flies one. He has the NASA flight director's insignia painted on his that only serving and former NASA flight directors can use. Pretty strong endorsement of a flight package if a dude of his pedigree owns and operates one. See it here. th-cam.com/video/IejjPFgvcB4/w-d-xo.html
I don't see why he put any money in an airplane that was in development. If the kit airplane has at least a flying prototype and was certified I'd say it's worth doing research on it but not before.
We've had two stall spin crashes of VL3s here in Europe and it has gotten a bad reputation for that but I figure it's like the Lancairs it's inspired by, not meant for low speed. Both cases the parachutes weren't deployed... they claim 380km/h max cruise, which is not bad and here in Europe I can get it under a sport license. Although we aren't allowed to fly above 9500. But presumably still decent speed.
"In the subsonix you will be faster than any piston engine with a top speed of 240" *shows dark aero right after* "This plane has a piston engine with a top speed of 270"
If you're ever in New Mexico, Bob Carlton's hangar is at Moriarty and he's super awesome. Got to see that sub sonex jet in person as well as the glider at the beginning with the retractable engine. His hangar literally has a vending machine for which glider he wants to fly that day.
2:09 Longer range than a Long-EZ? Have to see it to believe THAT. Not to mention the GlobalFlier was a single-engine jet that flew somewhat MORE than "around the world nonstop", but that was a special-case one-off design.
Are you going to be at Stearman Field in Benton, Kansas (1K1) July 17-19? Dan Gryder has organized this fly-in. Also for those that are flying in from the East, Neodesha, KS has 91 fuel (2K7). Then a short hop of 84 miles to 1K1.
TWELVE BD-5Js have flying in the USA and Europe for many years now, long before the Sonex jet ever flew! They are simply a BD-5 pusher with a turbine! The last four BD-5J have all been powered with the PBS TJ100. It's a REAL shame you didn't have the Grand Daddy Microjet of them all on your list.........
What is the thrust of the jet engine mounted on the darkaero 1 in kg? And how many liters of fuel can the aircraft carry and how many minutes can it fly?
A kit plane is not from scratch. It's a bunch of premanufactered parts and components that you assemble yourself. From scratch means you make everything. Big difference between the two is miles apart.
It would be questionable, which would be real kit, but for sure there left some fast planes as BlackWing, Raisen, Asso X Jewel, Shark, Berkut Canard ...
Bro when i see your videos my dreams get boost up every time. I wanna be a pilot and working to get money for this. Love you a lot from india. Keep it up bro 😍😍
Mike Id like to see you head back to Azalea Aviation. I have heard they are working a Saberwing with retracts higher horsepower and cruising around 250 mph
My bet is on the Raptor by Paul Muller. $130k target price. Possible top speed of 300 knots, cruise at 230 knots true on 7 gph of Diesel or Jet-A up to FL025.
I am surprised Mike. You mention Dark Aero, an airplane that is still in the design phase. To be flight tested very soon, Raptor Aircraft will be cruising at 267 miles per hour while burning only 7 gallons of diesel or jet A fuel per hour. It's a large, 5 person, pressurized airplane with a range of about 4500 miles. If you add to that that it will be built in 3 weeks with a price tag of only $130 000 ready to fly (with an extensive Garmin avionics suite included), it beats every airplane you mention in this video by a long mile.
I don’t think this list is valid because three the aircraft on the list are not actually working aircraft or just concepts in someone’s mind so Claims made ouractually bullshit
Some dream of flying. Others dream of flying. An I'm hoping to one day aford an achieve my pilots licesens. My grandpa once said. "If I had the material to build one i would. An he was a poor guy. I hope one day I can make that dream come true.
MojoGrip you still missed 95% of the actually fast kit planes. The only plane on your list that is “fast” is the sub Sonex. Everything else on this list is either a paper plane or not remotely quick compared to actual kit planes
Love the airplanes in this video, but hate the costs of each airplane. "OUCH!" "THAT'S TOO MUCH MONEY. I'll think I will go out and buy a very old Cessna 150 and install a Rotec(X) engine in it and modify the airplane for aerobatics. Much cheapers!
I never thought I'd say this but..... " A 5 best/fastest video and no amazon links, how dare you lol"
I don't think you can buy planes on Amazon
only 2 of these aircraft designs have ever left the ground, the others are just paper weights
Darren Johnson I agree. Unless the kit is flying and selling, they should not be on the list.
Fuck you.

SPEEEEEED is what I need baby!
Dark aero is the sickest plane ever
I'm not even interested in owning a plane, but this thing has my interest!
Thanks for this one Mike. I really enjoy these clips which are packed with facts, figures and specs of the aircraft.
Hang on to your money Dark Aero sounds to good to be true = 200hp and 270 mph 2000 miles range. Lot of smoke
I would definitely get the Revelaero Voodoo and give it a Jetsons paint job
One of the best videos yet to encourage getting your wings. Someday. Good job Mike.
Imagine geting a 4 seater dark Aero with 450mph and same range on a full tank, same tank size
That JMB VL3 looks so good..
Robert M it’s just a knock off lancair...
cool now all I need is my pilots license and couple hundred thousand lying around lol
Revelaero Voodooooo WOOOOW
they are looking very impressive and wonderfull designs....
Wish the BD-5J had been more successful! Cheers
"In the subsonix you will be faster than any piston engine with a top speed of 240"
*shows dark aero right after*
"This plane has a piston engine with a top speed of 270"
Velocity TXL (the version with turbo) has about the same speed as the kits listed here and the same price range.
If you're ever in New Mexico, Bob Carlton's hangar is at Moriarty and he's super awesome. Got to see that sub sonex jet in person as well as the glider at the beginning with the retractable engine. His hangar literally has a vending machine for which glider he wants to fly that day.
If it's a rainy day, the engine also has a hairdryer mode.
You make me want them all. Great video.
That dark aero is on going 275 if they strap the jet from the first plane to the top and still keep the prop
Once again you have outdone yourself. Thanks Mike. Well done!

😳 ya, that's what I want. Kick the tires and light the fires. Mike; you have definitely got to do more videos on each one of these.
You forgot my Compair 9. It is an experimental aircraft, turboprop, fly +200ktas. 8 POB, TPE331-10 engine.
The VL3 is now with the the Rotax 915is the fastest side by side sitting UL plane
Aren't there any sports jets that are already assembled? Do you really need a kit plane to get a jet LSA or a sports jet?
What is the thrust of the jet engine mounted on the darkaero 1 in kg? And how many liters of fuel can the aircraft carry and how many minutes can it fly?
Velocity TXL can go north of 260 kts at 75% power. That's close to 300 mph.
The jet engine on the first yellow plane, might just work on and fix onto a big RC jet too! lol
Very good video my jobs
Looks like some fun flying!
What’s wrong with a V6 engine off s junk yard then rebuilt, tig welder, and hydraulic hoses?
Funny that Czech engine from Velká Bíteš :) Can help you get one!
Hey Mike? Have you heard about swedish blackline? They have the blackwing 935 Rg with 142 hp Rotax.
Great list - keep up the excellent work.
A kit plane is not from scratch. It's a bunch of premanufactered parts and components that you assemble yourself.
From scratch means you make everything.
Big difference between the two is miles apart.
Bonjour cher ami. Désolé, avec mon français. Je peux savoir le coût de la consommation par vol de REVELAERO VOODOO? Merci pour la réponse.
Any chance of interviewing Velocity Aircraft?
You should start a request list to send to Velocity.
Velocity's overall performance numbers are pretty impressive for a 4-seat, but even the faster models wouldn't make it onto this list.
@@justtwoseats but they are real not everything on this list is real currently
I liked the first plane
Nice job Mike!
I think the video suggested to the right of this one on the main page was for a 747-8 kit.
4:00 Camburi Beach
It would be questionable, which would be real kit, but for sure there left some fast planes as BlackWing, Raisen, Asso X Jewel, Shark, Berkut Canard ...
Rutan Ares would have been a great personal jet kit. Also it could house a Vulcan mini gun. Too bad the military killed it off.
How about a scale version of the Horton IX fighter? If you have to worry about the cost you cannot afford this much speed. Buy a higher end simulator.
Bro when i see your videos my dreams get boost up every time.
I wanna be a pilot and working to get money for this.
Love you a lot from india.
Keep it up bro 😍😍
The first aircraft reminds me of a V-1 flying bomb.
Mike Id like to see you head back to Azalea Aviation. I have heard they are working a Saberwing with retracts higher horsepower and cruising around 250 mph
More great info Mike!
Badass vid brother!
Added bonus is they already look like coffins.
What about the BD-5?
Awesome video, hadn't even heard of a couple of these planes. They are all very cool
The VL3 at 6:06 has cruise speed of 270 km/hr, which is about 162 miles/hr, well short of your minimum speed of 200 miles/hr.
AikiRandy1969 I believe that was with the 100 HP rotax not the turbocharged 915s
My bet is on the Raptor by Paul Muller. $130k target price. Possible top speed of 300 knots, cruise at 230 knots true on 7 gph of Diesel or Jet-A up to FL025.
Plane is way overweight. Highly doubt he hits those numbers.
@@nateb19 I think his numbers may be inflated, but he needs to get it flying first.
It’ll never fly, it’s been hyped up for a decade now
Great vid
This is a great video
Great video Mike.... nice job..
Excellent.
The voodoo looks like the best option
But it's only on paper they don't even have a prototype aircraft. The price will change and all those numbers also
Thanks for you video!!!

He’s having tremendous issues to be overcome. The plane is overweight and I highly doubt it hits anywhere close to those numbers.
cant buy it and the prototype is not even finished the velocity is actually real currently
As someone commented about the prototypes in here, don't believe it till it's flying.
Great information! Thank you..

How can these planes (and other kit planes) be so expensive? What's the point in these things if people will have to sell their house to buy them?

How about separating airplanes that actually fly from airplanes that have never flown.
Please normalize your audio, that sponsorship ad was so loud it hurt.

Yes but only Mike Patey can fly one because it's a custom built Lancair. The planes listed are airplanes anyone can get a kit and build.
