This video did that for me haha. https://youtu.be/8uo3uZdBiFE

Nice y’all! Well unfortunately space is at a premium for me so I had to go the laptop route but I feel like I got a really good deal. I bought an ASUS G15 that isn’t even available yet from a YouTuber who reviewed it. I got one of the new 7nm Ryzen 7 4800HS processors, an RTX 2060 Max-Q graphics car...

I know I am! Can y’all post your PC specs?

Agree! Check this video out! Wow... https://youtu.be/5Olmfj7O4Ec

Pricing for the Norden released. This is dirt cheap!

I am flying a 2008 Savage Classic model. The “flying like a barn door” expressions I used , actually came from the flight school owner and I thought it perfectly described the way Zlin differed from my Sting or a Remos ( which is another aircraft this school is using ) Haha, that’s funny. I’ve hone...

Warmi, Glad you’re enjoying it. I’m almost done with my tailwheel endorsement in a Kitfox S7 but have since put lessons on hold until all of this blows over. I noticed heavy and not as precise controls when flying the Outback Shock (Shock Cub) as compared to the near perfect handling of the P2008. B...

The TSi does handle nicely. I’d say the TSi is reliably a 150+ knot airplane at altitude.

To me it’s not subjective but tangible. Flying a SportCruiser and P2008 with a similar empty weight back to back on a hot day in Dallas couldn’t produce a more different experience. The reason? I’m no engineer but a laminar flow airfoil is one big reason along with a large vertical stabilizer and st...

Your average LSA doesn’t cruise at 125 knots true on 6 gallons of gas and handle like a dream. It handles turbulence so much better than many of the LSA’s I’ve flown it’s honestly a night and day difference. It’s also the best looking sport high wing aircraft that I’ve ever seen. With that said, 330...

I currently fly a Tecnam P92 in New Zealand. I've had it for over 7 years and often cruise at 130kts with full power (rotax 912) (1 POB / full fuel) - never had any issues. Most Engineer's here tell me that Rotax engines are like Motorbike engines and like to run hard out which I've done for years ...

Hey y’all, Zlin Aviation announced a new LSA STOL aircraft that I think will change the game. Electric retractable slats!

The 915 iS S-21 trike is just a little beast and SLSA. It has pretty impressive performance numbers.

I agree the Bristell feels like a completely different airplane from the SportCruiser. With a DUC prop and 912 iS you can see 120 knots true on 5.5 GPH.
