The Pipistrel Sinus Can Really Pull Some Gs 

Thoroughly enjoyed your video Mike! I have to say that it's people like you that make America great! You came here from Lagos, Nigeria and you are living your dream. You have inspired me to work towards my pilot license, thank you for that! I can't wait to see your progress on your build.

Love this plane. If you get a Pipistrel Sinus Max, you have almost 590 lbs of useful load depending on equipment. It’s pretty amazing with a 27:1 glide ratio. It’s fun to climb to 5000 and shut the motor off.

another advantage of the Pipestrel motor gliders is that you can fly them with just a glider pilot's license, which is the easiest to get ... just 10 hours of instruction time required, no medical, and fewer limitations than the sport pilot license. The Pipestrel Sinus Flex has removeable wing tips, which come off in 5 minutes, which makes it easy to store in almost any hanger.

Had the chance to talk to the factory rep at Sun n Fun. He and his wife flew over 7 hours non-stop to the south Caribbean. He said he beat the big planes because they had to stop for fuel. I would want the convertible wingtip option. Gets your storage width down to 32 feet. And it still glides well.

MIKE... This is the airplane you should be saving for. It is less than half the price of the Sling, it comes almost fully factory assembled which saves you hours and trips to and from the build site, (You mount the wings and removable wing extensions and tips), it comes rigged for silent running, it gets outstanding fuel economy, maintenance costs are low, it is aerobatic by nature, (get the tail drager), which makes this airplane more fun to fly and it is kind of pretty especially in the tail drager version. The only down side for you "MAY BE" the lack of the two rear seats. Other than that, this bird has everything going for it including the simple and inexpensive I-Pad nav system. You could have your own great new airplane in half the time!

I think my face would be stiff from smiling throughout the flight.

You make me so proud!!! You are my hero. I wish all people who came here lived life as full as you do!! Your 1000 times the person most Americans are and that's so bad ass!!!

Thanks for taking us along! Awesome flight

dude. i think you broke your face smiling so hard. great vid

Very nice & smooth review, great job... at the end...I was hypnotized !!!

Great video mike I would love one of these. I love the controls and the cabin space

We all have to admit that this guy is doing a good job reviewing these aircrafts

I absolutely love your channel, AND KNOWLEDGE! You have such great content!

Nice aircraft ... I love it

Awesome video Mike... 👍🏼.

Sweet aircraft and what a landing!

Great review. This plane looks like much fun. I will be stopping by their booth at AirVenture.

Charming chap! Really enjoyed you review! :)

Interesting aircraft. This is the best video I've seen on it.

Educational as usual sir. Great aircraft. Great Vid

Awesome 👍.this is what we expected from Mike the great.

Found your channel a few days ago and this maker of planes less than that. I hope You will demo the 4place Panthera. You note what I seem to observe...the less bumpy stability of this plane. Amazing.

Mike, I just love your videoes and comments. You abt to be a star ;)

Keep the good content coming

Based on this video, and another about the Inverness Right Rudder motor glider course, I'm seriously in the pool on this. And also that a 14yr old soloed the Sinus cross country! Another great video Mike!

Wow, I'm really impressed by this plane and love it, just wish you could carry 4 people. That gliding feature is amazing and Hella fun!

This really catchs me. in terms of safety options you have.. if something bads happens...

Lile always, e very good video. Good job!

I love sports Aircraft thanks for posting, have you have Qhiksilver videos thx!

Cool plane.

I love this plane I am pilot in Airforce NCC (NATIONAL CADET CORPS) BEEN THERE DOING HARD G's

The Pipistrel 4 seater is also finally announced :)

Mike, great video, as always! I was thinking of getting one of these. To offset some of the costs I was thinking of doing some aerial photography. With so many people using drones, is aerial photography a viable option? With it being an LSA, ferrying passengers/stuff or sightseeing tours are out. How about any other ways to offset the costs?

Thanks Mike. Too bad there weren't some nice cumulus clouds to soar under. That steep turn (>45 degrees) is a normal thermal turn and you can climb to cloud base and soar for hours and hundreds of miles with the engine shut down in that ship.

Beautiful airplane😆

Nice!!!

Small EU country Slovenia has a long history of making airplanes first Slovenain guy who flew with his own airplane was Mr. Edvard Rusijan only 5 years after brothers Wright first flight and company Pipistrel is the youngest (since 1989) but very successful successor of Mr. Rusijan

Would like more details on the Gs and glide ratio.

Спасибо! Очень здорово.

When do you rivew a wt9 dynamic and risen aircraft? Those are top ones...

Very nice, do you make one for 4 passengers?

Really think the background music spoils the video. We need to hear the engine, cockpit audio. This could have been a great video had it not been for that

Sinus Flex taildragger with tundra tires and Edge Performance Rotax 156 hp might be ideal for me... If I had the dough...

I want one...

Mike you are more awesome than you know.

I so love this plane, but I fine the long wingspan intimidating.

We t for a flight in one a few years back. I had to ask the owner which u did t cover here is “ what is negative flaps”. Ha ha that was the first time of ever seen them. Great plane for sure. But my 32’w barn is a no go for that long set of flappers 😁

this has parachute?

Omg sweet

Since this is a motorglider can a person with a PPL Glider certificate fly this or do you still need a Sport Pilot certificate to fly this?

Beauty. I would buy that.....except I don't fly.

So is this an LSA or a glider? What certificate do I need to fly it?

they have a motor glide license i thought.

That's a seriously underrated aircraft. Shame you cant get a kid in the back.

How much $$$?

This plan can be registered as a glider (motorglider) and flown with a glider license with self-launch endorsement.

that wing looks like it's just about a half mile long lol

👍🏼👍🏼

The downside of this aircraft is the same as any other LSA: price. At $100k-$110k, you're into this plane for four times what a mid-time 150 goes for. I'll never understand why regulators allowed this to happen.

Also known as a motor glider

Mike, YOU NEED TO START REPLYING TO A FEW OF YOUR COMMENTERS. (and I don't mean a quick red heart or two) Is our only value in donations?

The tail sets to low for me , I think you drug tail on that landing.

interesting name for a plane...?

S "I" nus not sinnus.
