- When the opportunity comes along to fly the spectacular VL3 Evolution, it's just impossible to say no! :) This aircraft, built by JMB Aircraft in the Czech Republic, is one of the best performing microlight aircraft (or light sport aircraft) to date. See full description for more info...
This episode tells the story of my visit to AirFair 2020 at Teuge Airport (EHTE), situated in the central part of The Netherlands, Europe. This yearly event is organized and hosted by Air-Side BV, a local family company situated at the airport.
There was a lot to see and to do at the AirFair, especially for those who pre-registered themselves to do a demo flight on a VL3 Evolution. Take a guess who was one of the lucky few to go on a (later to be crazy awesome) flight?! :P
I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed both the AirFair and the demo flight on the VL3 Evolution! Let me know in the comments what you think of both and my video. And don't forget to share this video with fellow aviation enthusiast!

DISCLAIMER
Ever since I received my pilot license, I shared my passion for aviation with a lot (and I mean a lot!) of passengers! Because I enjoy sharing my aviation passion so much, I would like to share it with the rest of the world too! But since taking on 7 billion people as my passenger isn't really practical, sharing my passion via CZcams is... ;)
Where a lot of aviation channels on CZcams focus on General Aviation at the west side of the Atlantic, my channel focuses on Light Sport Aviation in Europe, primarily Holland and Germany. Light Sport Aircraft are also known as 'Microlight Aircraft' or 'Ultralight Aircraft'.
The reason I make these videos is to exchange aviation stories and learn and improve by sharing. And because I love to share!
Thanks for sharing, awesome video!
You're welcome! 👍🏻 Thanks for making such an awesome plane! 👌🏻 And for watching my video too! 😉
i realize it is quite off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Eduardo Payton Flixportal xD
@Tyler Ben thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !!
@Eduardo Payton No problem :)
"The Lady from Garmin is getting nervous" 😂😂😂 Very nice video!!! 👍 - and thank you for the link! 🤙
Thanks for watching! 👍🏻 You're very welcome! 😉
Very nice episode Jolmer, And what an awesome machine that VL3, love it!
Thanks! 👍🏻 Affirm; if you don't like the VL3, you don't like airplanes... 😉
Once again Jolmer, an awesome video! What a thrilling ride that must have been, incredible how far MLA manufacturers have come over the last decades.
Thanks! 👍🏻 Totally agree; MLA is 'just' a light(er) variant of all the other GA. No need to treat them different, just as other high performance A/C out there...
Caution! Obstacle ahead! Pull up!. That's the sound you constantly hear in the vicinity of Middenmeer airfield, due the high windmills in the Wieringermeer.
Ah, yes; Middenmeer is especially challenging, right? 😉
Watching a non-aerobatic pilot's reaction to any maneuvers past 7 degrees and 1.2 Gs is adorable. :)
Right? 😉
@@ForFunFlyer
Still an excellent experience.
My first 14 hours logged (ever) were in an Extra-300L. Lol. I had about 8-9k sim hours and I STILL felt a bit uneasy with tumbles.
@@cmdmd It sure is something special, normal flight and aerobatics 😉
Jolmer, you just made my day. There hasn’t been anything on the tube for a few days but thanks to you I got my fix this morning! Fantastic video
Ah, you're so welcome! 😀 Thanks, mate! 👍🏻
Really interesting video Jolmer. Well produced and informative. Great stuff!
Thank you, Tim! 👍🏻
I was flying this in microsoft flight sim and it felt unbelievable, like the sim programmers must have exaggerated the handling characteristics of this aircraft so had to jump on youtube to check it out and it's real. Holy fuck.
It is a very, very impressive aircraft! 😀👌🏻
I need to download it. Thanks for the idea.
Very cool aircraft. Looks like fun!
Yes, she's a lot of fun! 😎 Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Cool video - lovely aeroplane. Mind you, that yellow Eurostar is a very pretty/smart aeroplane too! 👍😊
Thanks! 👍🏻 Yeah, I love the EV-97 too, very nice plane as well! 👌🏻
1:55 and again 2:16
AOPA :
"Always treat the propeller as though the ignition has been left on and the engine is just a hairsbreadth from starting.
Avoid pulling the airplane around by the prop. Yes, this seems the perfect solution to a vexing problem of how to change the airplane’s position without having to walk around and get the tow bar, but it’s worthwhile to make the extra effort.
Neither the engine nor the prop particularly benefits from the loads imposed by horsing the whole airplane around."
FAA AC 20-37E
"Do not push or pull on propeller blades when moving the aircraft by hand. Tow bars are specifically designed for this operation."
That's applicable to other aircraft than Rotax powered onces. But thanks for sharing.
This was such a cool adventure to watch, Jolmer! 🤗 I think this is one of your best vids so far! This must have been so much work in editing, but it was so great to see all the shots from different angles and with the interviews in between. Way to go! 😊🤙
Thanks! Yes, this was a 3 day edit, almost full-time 🙈 Glad you liked it! 👍🏻
@@ForFunFlyer Already expected this one took you more efforts, but the result is just awesome! 😊 That low pass must have been such a fantastic experience and the pull up get your heart pumped!
@@dutchygirl Yeah, it was quite the project, but that's my own fault; I just always want to improve on quality, which always takes more time. And affirm; that almost 3G pull, which I didn't expect, was a big surprise! 🙈😋
@@ForFunFlyer It was definitely worth waiting! 🤙 I noticed the surprise and enjoyed your smile when realizing what just happened 🤗
What an edit. Well done! That plane is crazy cool ....and expensive ! But not for what it can do I guess. The future!
Thanks! 👍🏻 Yes, totally agree... Awesome but expensive. I should probably sell one of my kidneys on the black market, to gain some cash? 🤔🤣
Amazing aircraft 👍🏻
Yes, it is 👌🏻
Great video Joiner , time to buy a !lottery ticket and keep my fingers crossed 😀 keep posting the videos
Thanks, will do! 👍🏻 Yes, I'll see what lottery is available over here... 😉
nice video, big fun airplane...
Thanks! And "affirm"! 😉
Bohemian flyer...🔥🔥
🤙🏻
I was have amazed on my test flight too. Descent speed on full flaps and with gear down is incredible and very comfortable on that fast airplane!
It's a remarkable plane for sure, just love it! 👌🏻
@@ForFunFlyer I too :-)
Oh my god that was amazing. I want this plane so bad.
Thanks! 👍🏻 Yes, me too! 😉
Awesome to see this, I am trying to master it on Flight Simulator. Beautiful aircraft.
I'm just in awe with how this plane handles. It's fast but can be slow (when needed) and flies great! 👌🏻
Thanks for the link under the video 😊😊😊 see you soon again at ehte👍🤘
You're welcome! And again, thanks for the footage! 👍🏻
@@ForFunFlyer your welcome 😉
Haha nice Jolmer, lady from garmin got nervous 😀
Yes, she totally lost it?! 🤣
Very nice plane.
Totally agree! 😀👌🏻
Great video, I am going to buy the 915, this will be a crazy plane, looking forward to your next videos after the factory tour and then flight in the 915...cheers
Thanks! 👍🏻 Did you decide to buy the 915 just now, or already placed an order? 😉
I have only just got my licence back in last month in Gold Coast Australia. Seeing your videos is a very good inspiration to confirm this is the best ultralight in the world today. I’m really looking forward to your next 2 videos on JMB. I want to take it from Golad Cias to Ayers Rock, Kakadu, Cape York then down the Great Barrier Reef. I have other big plans to go right around Australia. Can I ask you one question, did the plane feel really fast when you were flying it…I want a very fast and comfortable plane for my wife and I…thank you 🙏🏻
Gold Coast to Ayres Rock 🙏🏻
Awesome! 👍🏻 Let me put it this way; the VL3 is as comfy as an SUV and fast as a F1 car 😉
Thank you, I can’t wait to get this, I will be going 915, great video and very informative, I will let you know once I order 👍🏻
awesome Episode Jolmer! We should buy a VL3 together haha. I'm sold! Keep up the good work buddy!
Even when splitting the bill in half, I still need to win the lotery. Or do something illegal 🙈🤣
@@ForFunFlyer me too.. let me think of some shady solutions 😂😂 or just postpone the idea by 30 years 😔😂
@@KevinWolters Haha, yes; and start putting money aside for a couple of decades? 🤣
This aircraft looks awesome!
I’m really considering a microlight when I can afford it. Was the price in €? Great video Jolmner as always ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks! 👍🏻 Yes, the price was in Euros, correct. Well, there are a lot cheaper microlights, right? Nice ones begin at around 25k, that's something different than 165k? 😉
amazingggggggg :))
Thanks! 👍🏻
I really like your work. One thing often confuses me, however, is when you fisit new places and say FL3 in your fideos 😂. Sorry - couldn’t resist 😂
😂🙈
Nice Plane..I just bought a Bristell and I love its flight characteristics for sure!!!
That's a nice looking plane too 👌🏻 Never flown one, hopefully somewhere in the future...
@@ForFunFlyer N710GG Check it out...its similar to your color plane!!
@@jrwarner579 Just looked it up and indeed, a very pretty plane! 😍👌🏻
@@ForFunFlyer Thanks Man ..I always watch your videos ...I like you speaking with Mikey on the one video!!
@@jrwarner579 Thanks, I appreciate that! 👍🏻 Yes, Mikey is a great and fun guy to hang out with for sure!
Awesome aircraft!
Totally agree! 😀
@@ForFunFlyer busy configuring one on their website and will get in touch with their dealership near me! That’s a fun toy to commute to work on Mondays and back home on Fridays 😃
@@samviation That's a heck of a commuter for sure, haha! 👌🏻 Let them know you saw my video, that'd be awesome! 😎
@@ForFunFlyer I’ll definitely tell them!
@@samviation Awesome!
Jolmner, I was looking at purchasing the VL3 with 914 motor. Now that you have flown the 915. In your opinion is it worth the extra money and reduced useful load. ??
Well, I didn't flew the 914 yet, but if I see how much power the 915 has, personally I would go with that engine. But that's just my two cents 😉
That is my dream plane!
I know, right?! 😀
Nice video and demo flight, any info on price for this model ?
Yes, it's in the last part of the video 😉 165k in Euros 😎
Is it IFR certified in the USA?
Check out my newest video on my channel 😉
Hello my friend,,what was the yellow air craft you arrived in with your friend
That's an EV97 Eurostar 👌🏻
I'm confused. How is he able to come in so steep but not increase speed? Is it the landing gear?
No, it's the split flap system, which also acts as a speed break. In that flap config, you just won't overspeed. It's an incredible aircraft with an insane speed range 👌🏻
Price, is that U.S.? I love ❤️ the VL3.
I believe in Euros, but I'm not sure. You can always contact them and ask? The details are in the description of the video...
We do euros here 😀
Een heel mooi vliegtuig. Ik zou graag willen, maar ik moet nog veel leren. Ga zo door, ik vind je video's echt leuk, je krijgt een link op mijn website.
Groetjes uit Duitsland Steffan Fly & More
Dank je, leuk om te horen! 👍🏻
The VL3 is a fantastic, fast machine.
For asthetic reasons, I still prefer the Bristell.
Thanks! Yes, they're both awesome planes... 😉
I'd like to purchase one.
Good choice! 👌🏻 Check out their website at www.jmbaircraft.com for your local dealer 👍🏻
So whats the 200kmh consumption?
15 to 18 liter per hour
@@ForFunFlyer ok, but on the homepage it says up to 2000km witz 110liters.... thus shouldnt it be closer to 10l/h?
@@SuperV8driver Oh, could be too. It's a real slick airplane, so it won't be that much. This is a 100hp Rotax, which I use in my own TL96 at 18 ltr per hour. But feel free to ask JMB themselves... 😉
@@ForFunFlyer thanks for your answeres, appreciate it!
@@SuperV8driver You bet, glad to help! 😀👍🏻
The Garmin seems a big of a nag.. Haha
Yes, she just didn't shut up?! 🤣
@@ForFunFlyer haha.
@@ForFunFlyer The height loss on that final approach was amazing. Thanks for taking us along, I still couldn't afford one, it costs almost as much as my house...lol
@@GolfFoxtrot22 Yes, same here 🙈 But man, what a gorgeous aircraft... 😍
@@ForFunFlyer We can all dream...I'll be sticking with my little PeaBee flexwing for a while....I have an exciting episode next week.
Watch and listen to Paul Bertorelli's January 2017 AvWeb channel segment in which he cites us Experts as stating: "Good Audio Makes Good Video:"
And...please explain the need for Repetitive Intrusive Distracting Repetitive Intrusive repetitive pseudo-music. Why Any Music of any description? Are you ashamed of your voice? (You should not be.)
Thanks for watching. It's all a matter of taste, I guess. And no, I'm not ashamed of my voice; I worked a decade and a half for a lot of radio station, making jingles and commercials.
Please stop replying with Okay everytime
That's seriously the only feedback you have? Interesting. Have a great day.
@@ForFunFlyer Its like when someone says umm a bunch constantly. Its annoying when you notice it
