Around The World On A Trainer? Pipistrel Virus LSA! 

I LOVE THIS PLANE !!! A joy to fly. But since it is so light, be prepared for some bumpiness.

Very interesting video, very detailed. Very happy I just purchased the sinus 914 model with 260 liter fuel tank. I think the range can easily exceed 3500km, but unfortunately I am in China and the sky here has too many restrictions. I look forward to flying around the world with it one day.

Pretty awesome little aircraft.

Flying across the Atlantic non stop is pretty awesome.

I want one bad. They are amazing aircraft!

Seems pretty nice to me.

Interesting- my club has just bought one of these. A bit more fragile than our trusty Cessna but sexy if you like Garmin cockpits (I don't). Looking forward to learn to fly this thing - our 50 year old Cessna having become unsustainably expensive to maintain. We have taken the spats off a) because we operate from a runway with an arrester cable on it and b) to enable landings on grass strips..As to your informative video - it might be better to quote speeds and distances in knots rather than mph. I don't know what we paid for it but I doubt that it was half what you quote as a second hand price (it is ten years oldn apparently).

The name leaves much to be desired. Sweet-looking plane though. Although I was always partial to low-wing acft, I really like the visibility of a high-wing.

It does not appear you can fly this with a LS license.

Can a pilot in United States build up 1500 flight hours in this aircraft? I was told Mesa Airlines has an innovative program and they are using these planes to build a flight time but I thought the LSA was a different different category from the PPL rating.

the Flex seems more versatile

All great except the name! Both the make and model!

Throughout this video he is saying Virus SV. It’s not an SV it’s a SW. Probably confusing for many viewers

I believe it is designated SW for short wing; not SV.

Why do you pronounce the designator 'SW' as 'Ess Vee'? Is this a nod to the German (and perhaps Slovenian) pronounciation?.

Still not affordable for the average person. General aviation is still for the 1%

16 us gallons tank, 1200 kilometers range 200 km/hr. The info is not accurate, it can only go 600 kilos with Rotax 912 installed on cruise speed
