Mitsubishi MU-2 - Cost to Own 

Fast, loud and unsafe? You’ve met my ex? 🤔

Loved the "it's japanese!" Sound effect

Love this video! There's one at my local 2,900 ft non towered field. So cool to watch it fly in and out of that field so effortlessly. The owner just flies it for fun, super jealous. Would love to see one on the Cessna 441 Conquest II. These are so much fun to watch, thank you :)

Is the plane safe?!?!? Absolutely it is. Talk to Pat Cannon. I remember a hit piece on the news in 1986 about MU-2 crashes. The story documented about 5 crashes. I watched it with my friend who owned 2 MU -2's at the time and he debunked every single crash as pilot error or pilots who were in over their heads, but never an airworthiness issue with the AC. Anyhow, this is an awesome, Robust aircraft built for the japanese military. Thanks for making the video.

I wouldn’t consider the MU2 inherently unsafe. It’s just a considerably more difficult plane to fly than many others in its category. The reality is that this is a plane that in most respects is as difficult to fly as a light jet. It’s not well-suited to a weekend warrior GA pilot or a lawyer or doctor who wants to fly the kids and wife up to the cabin once in a while. It requires maintaining proficiency.

I love your videos. Do you think you could do a video on the Lake Buccaneer? It's a great little seaplane and I'd love to see a video on it.

Never heard of it before. Now I want one

Balls “slightly” off the wall…😂😂😂

I'm quite fond of the sound of Japanese animation @ 0:12. Very exquisite touch 👌

Well done. I fly a Marquise and I'd say you're on point in all counts

Always loved the MU2. Great video as usual. Thanks!

You my friend, are truly gifted in your clarity and overall delivery. Really wish you the best of luck. Do one on the Aerostar Super 700 if you get a chance... Thanks!

Please do PA-42 soon! Great video as always.

I'm glad I found this channel.

I've been waiting for this my entire life!!

These are the best aviation videos ever

Love the videos keep em coming! Would love to see the price figures on the Phenom 100 and 300.

Great video. Thanks

Love your channel! I hope there are infinite airplanes....

Great video! Can you do the PA-42 Cheyenne next ??

I would love one, sounds like a great plane

Another amazing video!! 😂

These are great! Could you do a video on the Cessna 162 Skycatcher?

Great video! Was putting something similar together, and now I don't have to.. will stick to the flying stuff.. :)

It's funny that my favorite planes from this channel is from companies that also makes cars, this and the honda jet

This is awesome

So it must stall at 150 knots. No, 80. WHAAAT??? -- that's HILARIOUS dude, very nice video, thanks!

Please do a video on Citation Mustang cost to own. Thanks!

thanks for making the video!! but... will we ever get a piper seneca video?? cant get enough

Ive watched this video 7 or 8 times now... if you had pre-roll ads going you be up most of a dime!

I want one. Badly. A low pass on the barbers pole sounds like a Spitfire. Magic!

0:11 seconds in and you already won my like haha

just a little feedback on the performance figures @0:45 : I would group the different units instead of writing them in one row but far apart. so essentially like: Cruise speed (knots&km/h) in the top left corner, climb performance (ft/min & m/s) in the top right corner and so on. Would make it easier to read imo. Other than that, awesome videos! Absolutely love them. Best wishes from Germany!

Thank you for sharing this video.

Can you do one of these videos for a Dornier 228 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

Now you’ve gotta do the Metroliner or Merlin

Cant afford one IRL, but I'm very excited to get my hands on this plane in Microsoft Flight Sim in a few hours! It was delayed again and i am heart broken.

could you please make a Video about the gippsaero ga8 airvan

Sweet high performance high wing! 👍

Honestly the hourly isn't nearly as bad as I thought. However, it seems that everyone else caught on because in the last 7 years the purchase price of these planes has gone up significantly.

Can you make a video about the aviation parts of the movie cliffhanger? Can people move from one airplane to another airplane mid-flight?

Awesome

I like it.

a piper seneca 2 video would be epic

Thanks!

The engines on this have like a 5000 hour tbo! I don't understand why more engines aren't as reliable.

Hey now thats.youve done the MU2 could you also do a chief competitor the Rockwell Gulfstream Turbo Commander?

Could you do the Challenger 650?

I just found my entry level plane!

Can you do the aeronca champ or the sport cub?

Can we see a Cessna 441 video?

Never thought the MU-2 was aileronless! The more You know!

This is a safe and easy airplane to fly, as twins go. That issue was procedure. For most multi engines airplane. you want to clean the airplane aerodynamically as quickly as you can when you lose an engine on takeoff . For the MU-2. You want to keep the flaps, clean the gear up and then lower the angle of attack or AOA. Because I think what happens the small wings will cause the induced drag to go beyond the power curve. Especially after losing one engine on takeoff. You lose a lot of airflow over the wing. Until I saw the video I never realized just how small the wings really were. That would explain a lot, to me anyway. And why they stress the use of the flaps so very much. This is a constantly accelerating aircraft at altitude when in cruise. Which is very representative of the high-performance small jets like the Lear jet. Because of the wings. It was designed to be flown professionally. It is a very high-performance airplane. But at the same time easy to fly. Because of the flaps. And If you know the right procedures. So the next biggest issue I read, is this is supposed to be a trim flown airplane. Supposed to be very trim sensitive when hand flown. Stay safe out there! Good video, but I don't think you're a pilot?

Piper Colt, please!

Wow I am actually early

How about a Mitsubishi A6M2? :)

An interesting fact about the MU-2. Many veteran pilots reffered to the aircraft as the "Mitsubishi MU-2" in reference to what the manufacturer, Mitsubishi, named it.

Can you please do video about L-39 Albatross. Thank you.

I worked at an airport and when the owner fired his MU-2 up, it could be heard from across the airport

This is a great plane that I didn't know about. Especially since I see one for sale in AUS for $329k in great condition (one engine will need OH in 600hr). They say delivery is included... (wonder if that includes South FLA, ha). Can I assume that this plane never was, is not, and never will be single pilot certified?

Where's the LET L410...?

I love these videos, but I also hate them. Because it's like oooh neat I wonder if I could afford this airplane in my wildest dreams. And the answer I learn during every video is fuck no.

I worked on this plane during A and P school. Hated every minute of it.

So I tried to buy a ride an a Waco YMF-5. They tried to charge me $350 for a half hour flight. Is it really that expensive to operate one of those planes or were they trying to screw me over? Any answers are appreciated 🙏

Nothing wrong with the plane.. But you better be ready when you've got an engine out.. Especially on takeoff. No time for.. Is this really happening to me... Apply standard engine out procedures and you'll be fine.

Double slotted fowlers? Are we flying a commercial liner or a twin piston xD

while i do like a high wing, i would have to take the twin commander ac1000. just as fast but 600-800 more range.

Pilot required!

NANI??

Don't forget she is a tipper when fueling. It's pretty bad.

Also first

Slightly off the wall 🤣

A rather starnge lookin lancer

I think the Mu2 is an interesting plane but I have a negative opinion on them because all of the Mu2 pilots I've met have been jerks

I bet this plane is good for drug running

There’s a Mg-21 for sale
