Hah! I bet Mike would try that! Thanks for saying hello!

@scotnor Год назад

Back in the 70s I flew the BO-105 in airshows at Paine Field in Everett,WA, and Mark was flying the HyperBipe. His precise maneuvers were awesome! He definitely outclassed most of the rest of the us with his routine.

@markthibault8579 2 года назад

Seriously though, let's get a segment on that rotisserie hangar. That thing is cool!

@ExperimentalAircraftChannel 2 года назад

There is always a bit of a time crunch in these interviews and trying to cover everything in a 15m-19m segment is surely a challenge. There is more to come soon with a "round table" interview with Mike discussing his history as an Aerobatic Flight Instructor and many other things he has done in the past. Keep watching! :-)

It is quite impressive. I had to ignore the Aircraft for a few minutes when I arrived and just had an expression of "Whhhhhaaaaaat is going on here?!" :-)

@JE-sc2py 2 года назад

In germany these types of hangars are common. First, we dont have the space to allow for individual hangers and the taxiways, and second aviation here is more organized in groups or clubs, which own a hangar for their planes. Just check the internet

@stevenjames8260 2 года назад

Have you noticed that once in the aircraft every pilot in the world has their own “pilot voice”, like you have a telephone voice.

@jamesengland7461 2 года назад

@donaldparlettjr3295 2 года назад

It nice to see an older design featured. Everybody want to see the latest and greatest. Rag and tube use to be the way. I remember that change when in the mid 70s Burt Rutan appears with his creation and glass birds took off.

@feralchimp 2 года назад

Thanks to both you and Mike for the intro to this interesting model, and Mike’s great example build. I particularly appreciate his going into the flight characteristics, and calling out the tradeoff around spin entry/exit. Seems like a bad choice for a competition acro trainer, but a uniquely good choice for someone who wants to cruise at 150+, get inverted, get in and out of short strips, and enjoy elbow room. Nice work y’all.

I always liked the HyperBipe almost went to work with Tom and Mark in the 80s. Sometime ago I talked with Tom and inquired about the HyperBipe and was told someone purchased the production rights to the design. It would be a nice design to bring back to the market.

@ExperimentalAircraftChannel 2 года назад

I didn't realize there was such interest in this bird. I personally love the lines of it and the design. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of it. Check the links in the description for who own it now.

@mikemcilroy3800 2 года назад

I got the chance to fly with Mark back in the seventies in his first HyperBipe. I was in my mid twenties at the time and owned a Common Wealth 185 Skyranger. I flew into Mark's air field in Tenino Wa just as Mark was going to take out the HyperBipe for a flight and he asked me if I wanted to ride along, I jumped at the chance. We were out for about forty five minuets and had a blast. I was amazed at how easy the plane was to fly. Mark did some aero's that were so smooth you could hardly feel anything. I've lost track many years ago of Mark and his family. I heard he stopped to work on the plane because of legal problems! What a shame to loose a great plane like the HyperBipe!

@wheelerdavea 2 года назад

Lots of memories there. The Sorrell brothers were just down the freeway from my home airport KPAE and would always bring a pair of Hiperbipes to the airshow there. Mid 70s to early 80s.

@krissfemmpaws1029 2 года назад

I use to stop in their shop anytime I was down that way... I lived near BLI. Sadly I never got to meet Tom and Mark's dad Hobi but I was fimilar with one of his early designs it was a low wing called the Nuthatcher that was in the mid 60s. Molt Tailor was also an interesting gentleman to talk with as well.

@@krissfemmpaws1029 Yes, Molt was an interesting guy. Too bad his airplane didn't pan out.

@krissfemmpaws1029 2 года назад

@@wheelerdavea I'm guessing you are talking of the Bullet? I know the Imps were kind of a nich aircraft. Molt was onto something with their designs to be honest. The Coot and Imps to me were more complex than they needed to be. I say this from having designed stuff to be as simple as it can be to do the job needed. I drive a mechanical engineer friend crazy comming up with easier and simpler ways to do the same task... as Ford said parts left out can cause no service problems.

@richardbrowne1217 2 года назад

I like this aircraft very much! It reminds me of an old 1930's Beechcraft stagger wing minus the rotory engine. I wish it had a rotory engine. It would be very cool if the Hyperbipe Company made a replica Beechcraft stagger wing with a Verner 7 cylinder rotory engine.

Mike, Can you get that 360 to give 250hp? Also, would it be possible to get 265knots out of that plane IF you cleaned up all the drag components? Rivets, gaps, etc.? Might want to race one some day.

@terry12327 2 года назад

An amazing story... Truly about how a lot of people helped create a " Wow" and a wonderful small aerobatic airplane. The work done on something as a basic simple flying machine and with the complex solutions of making things work great... Would like to know how it flies faster upside down vs right side up...?

@makomike3757 2 года назад

Hi Terry, the airplane has 0° dihedral on the top wings and 1.5° positive on the bottom wings. When you flip that dihedral upside down it decreases drag and will indicate 160-165 mph typically vs 155-160 upright.
