Great video, so smooth like driving on a highway! Looks so easy, not enough views of GG❤! You look so good, that is the best part. Thank you for sharing.
Looking good GG........ But I need to see more of your videos....... You have a wonderful life I would like to see more of it...... Bless you Dear lady...... :-))) xxxx
Hi GG! Have we ever seen this airplane? I thought that Bristell only made LSAs! Your plane has a constant speed prop, which in the USA would be considered complex!! What a nice plane!! I wish you would do more videos!! Cheers!
Hey there, yes, i have posted other videos about the Bristell RG 915is. We have constant speed propeller and retractable gear. It's a really fun ultralight aircraft.
@Dan-sc7us - Yes, you are correct that this aircraft could not be flown by a pilot with a LSA license. There are an increasing number of these high performance aircraft that are designed around existing LSA/ultralight airframes, and then enhanced with constant speed prop units and retractable gear. The benefits are low cost, high performance and low running costs (over a more conventional GA aircraft like a C172). But the limitations of the LSA/ultralight license remain; weight, max 120kts cruise and no 'complex' equipment like CS prop or retractable landing gear. My good friend who has a standard PPL ASEL owned Cherokees and 172s for decades, but recently switched to a Breezer Sport - an aircraft built around the Breezer Light Sport aircraft, but with a Rotax 915i (141hp) engine, capable of 150kts, a constant speed prop and retractable gear. I only have a NPPL(M) ultralight license here in the UK so am not licensed to fly his beautiful bird, and am instead 'stuck' with an Evektor Eurosport Microlight (which is still a fantastic aircraft to be 'stuck' with!
Something a friend brought up, I can’t take credit for, that although that looks like a very nice plane it probably couldn’t get US certification. IF there was an accident and the aircraft ended up being upside down, is there and emergency exit path, seeing as how the canopy seems to open “up”. 🤔. Love y’all’s videos! KPMP
They say the key to a good landing is a stabilised approach, so to improve this one you'd have to talk to Garmin :) Looked OK to me though. Bit of crosswind from the left but tracked centreline nicely. Late touchdown was deliberate - quicker to fly down the runway than taxi down it. Left it pretty late to go fine on the prop, maybe. But honestly I'd be happy with that one overall. You do tail-hooks on carriers or something 80Loke? 😇
