- Now that we finally got the fuel flows right this is our shortest take offs yet. We still have not had a chance to get down anywhere near sea level altitudes to see how she does in some thick air.

Mark, thanks for building this one and for sharing it with us. It is very satisfying to work that hard and get more than you expected. Congratulations.
It's a Turbocharged Lycoming io-360 with intercooler. Makes 220 hp for takeoff and 180 max continuous.
Thats such a slow (looking) takeoff! Wow!
There are no good kits available. I looked forever and finally spent a fortune developing it myself. Besides increased performance I wanted the lowest possible weight increase and needed it to fit inside a tight cowling. I am VERY HAPPY with the results! Post turbo performance far exceeds any hopes or expectations. It's an entirely new airplane! If others are interested I'm considering building 10-20 kits to be used on any Lycoming based 320 or 360. RV builders/owners should love it too,I hope?
Wow that sounds awesome! Is the kits or will you build them too! What’s included in them?
That is awesome performance for a 4 seat aircraft!
I love this video. I'm working on funding for a 701 or a 750sd, first one is most likely going to be the 701
Insane! Great Build
I used a RayJay turbo with a custom exhaust and inter-cooler.
I so am going to buy and build one of these. awesome!
So excellent!
This one is the second shortest one I've seen, there is one of those Piper Cubs used on farmlands here on youtube which takes off from a complete stop (though they probably had 20-30 kts headwinds I'm guessing).
Fantastic!
This is an experimental aircraft. He can mount a camera wherever he wants to, and doesn't have to tell anyone. :)
that's one heck of a STOL you have there. I'am considering about getting one of these when i get my license
Wow I like these 801’s better than the 750 super duties!
This is the 4 seater, it does not have folding wings like the two seater.
Yes it really has a turbo. I used a Ray-jay turbo with intercooler. The engine is a Lycoming IO-360
What is the fuel burn?
220Hp for takeoff and climb, normal cruse at or below 180hp
SICK!!!!
amazing
Man, that's just silly. Very nice.
Wow!
Great video, I have a 701 myself and love flying them. I see you listed the temp and field elavation. But more importantly was the head wind you had. Which as you and I both know makes the take off VERY SHORT.
I would say my shortest take off was 30 foot with about 15kts head wind. For me, I don't like to take the plane out with anything more than 10 kts blowing. Not because of the flying but because of the fliping over during Taxi. It's such a light plane and the wings develop so much lift.
701 is more stable in flight than 801 IMHO I tried both. I would use rotax 914 in 701.
Do you have info you can share on the how-to process of making this work? I read the comments below, but do you have some more details you can provide? Thanks
When we get both STOL and speed (aka low fuel consumption per traveled distance unit) I will be really interested. As of today we don't have that, it's either get up in the air quickly or go fast, not both. 169 km/h at 75% cruise, that's at least 20 l/100km (probably a bit more), which isn't economicaly viable with todays fuel prices, at least not in Europe. With the same engine you get close to 300 km/h in an RV for example, but it takes of in over 300 m on the other hand.
What engine and hp was used in the aircraft? Can a mistral rotary provide the same performance?
Useful load? Take of distance full fuel? Est cost?
That really is unbelievable.
Beautiful plane, I'd love to build an amphibian to keep in the boathouse.
How long does it take to fold the wings btw?
After looking at every kit out there, this is the one I will build first. Like the idea of a turbo very much. What prop do you have on it?
with a minimum of 30 knots headwind. yes
What engine do you use ? What modifications did you make ? thanks
Love your belly pod airfox... Is it fiberglass? Do you sell them?
What is the cruse speed and range for this aircraft?
wow. i would love to fly one. whats the useful load
Hi, I just have to say that your plane is awesome. What is the horsepower range if you had a guess? Im building a toyota camry engine with a turbo for one of these planes. hoping for about 240 at prop. awesome job
Is this really a turbo? Which motor did you use? I'm just past the beginning stage of thinking about building one. LOL (got the wife to say maybe)
Doesn't get any shorter!
i can see why the raised the tail up and made it look so goofy. That thing would tailstrike all the time if it had a normal looking one.
Carson city air port?
Thi pilot is really concurent again Frank knapp
4,400 feet IS thick air!
i can see in the future helicopters being replaced by bush planes.
0:16 Camera man is killed. Please be more careful!
Better than Wilga !
sounds like a farmall tractor.
Watch out for the thermals on take off, they will flip you over at such high angles of attack.
What FAA rules? The regulations aren't there to stop you from hurting yourself, they're there to stop you from hurting others. I can't think of a single regulation that would prevent you doing that.
