A clue to trusting small business owners is how well they know their products. The faded t-shirt and cargo shorts are also good clues because a suit and tie can make anyone look like they know their product. Lemme see the CEO of GE come out and point out the material thicknesses used in their products. Damn, i love this video!

@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel Man, you were right to ask about the rivets! Hope they knock the mandrels out. I've seen even stainless rivets corrode in high airflow areas in a few flights.

@2Phast4Rocket 3 года назад

I think one of reason is the high cost of experimental kits these days. A flyaway cost for a typical new Vans aircraft is closer to 125K and it can go higher for other kits making them out of reach for many people.

@MrWATCHthisWAY 3 года назад

I just love this 103 aircraft. It represents everything the ultralight aircraft design was envisioned to be. I worked as a Quality Engineer for Teleflex controls cables for a few years and I can honestly say there is no better cabling system being used on aircraft today. The close tolerance design & build in these control cables allows for a smooth operation with 0 backlash. Great tour Bryan but sometimes I wish I lived in Florida to be able to jump in one of these 103’s and go zoooming at the end of a day. A motorcycle for the air!!!!

@ExperimentalAircraftChannel 3 года назад

A motorcycle... or a "GoKart" it is for sure. With wings. Thanks for saying hello! :-)

@MrWATCHthisWAY 3 года назад

@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel Bryan, for $20,000 you don’t get anymore fun than this. Low maintenance & operating costs and if one has a decent amount of runway length for takeoffs and landings that would be the life just to go tooting around the skies on a nice clear day when a pilot could. I remember in 2019 when a 16 year old kid flew one to Oshkosh with his father following him all the way with the family SUV. He was well trained by his father who is a military trained commercial CFI pilot who supported his sons training. His father preferred the yoke style control system for training his son and he was successful in his endeavor flying and getting clearance to fly into Oshkosh. Lord knows those are specific visual approach points to fly into Oshkosh and when you have your slot you had better be there! Lol..

Ok guys, I’ve been watching these same videos over two years now with all the good and bad comments ,some people just don’t get it . I think you have a wonderful product period. Regardless of the naysayers. I hope you made it through Covid. First off ,I have a ppl all the way halfway through com, had to quit due to money at the time. But my question is , how much would it cost me now to come to Florida and get 5 to 10 hours stick time and fly off into the sunset with that beautiful orange and blue airframe with a floorboard , full windshield, a little garmin 196 or similar and cheap radio with helmet. I would be extremely interested now that my situation has changed, I am a 200% disabled combat vet trying to stay in the game. Thanx for all you do to keep aviation alive. Oh and tundra tires. Right back to the outer banks of nc. Closest guesstimate you could make would be awesome. Thanx
