Back in the hangar of the Bristell light sport aircraft. And today we’re talking with Evan, one of the chief commercial pilots at Bristell. So personally, I learned that Bristell aircraft can be had with several options; this includes power plant, propeller, avionics and so on.
For the light sport model, your options will be limited because lsa have their limitations in gross weight and engine performance. But if you opt for an experimental model of the Bristell, suddenly you’ll have many more options to add to your airplane. Options like the more powerful Rotax 915 engine, a constant speed prop, IFR equipments, and the list goes on.
Once you are in the experimental category of airplanes, you can modify an airplane to best fit you and your mission.
Currently the Bristell is available in standard lsa and tricycle landing gear, you can also get them as a taildragger, and in Europe, a retractable landing gear model is available. Base price for the Bristell starts at $160,000.

By far THE BEST INFORMATIVE VIDEO ON CZcams about the Bristell aircraft!! You answered every question I had and had me jumping out of my seat with joy! Dump the parachute and put in a nice IFR panel! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I"ll watch this one again and again. Well done!!
This is the best presentation of an airplane that I have seen yet.
Exactly what I posted. Every question was answered. I've been thinking the whole time I don't need the parachute and this video validated that thought. This is the only aircraft so far that has me looking past the Sling 4 TSi.
I'm anxiously awaiting the delivery of my Bristell tomorrow!!! (Weather permitting)
congrats
🤗🎆🎆
Luck duck ! Remember , no parachute , just glide !
Best of luck.
Doug H awesome good for you
@0:58 "It's kind of a myth that LSA is prevented from flying IFR", it can as an ELSA.... learning that alone made this video worth while. Great review of the airplane, presentation was excellent.
That yellow one looked great.
I hate that they think the parachute is not a good option. You never know if you will be incapacitated for any reason. medical condition, bird strike, fuselage failure, mid air collision, etc. If I ever get to own my own plane, it will have a parachute.
Yeah, I pretty much stopped watching at that point. Where I'm based, every flight puts me over mountains with few alternatives. Plus, as you've pointed out, an incapacitated pilot leaves his or her passengers on their own with very low odds of bringing the plane down safely.
With all due respect I think if you worry that much about anything that can happen to an airplane you should never become a pilot or fly
สุธิดา ศรีเทพ I understand your point but I think we who worry so much are less likely to die.
@@neve1064 I regret to inform you that regardless of our worry levels, we are all quite likely to die :).
How you gonna pull the chute if you're dead or incapacitated? Lmao
The man knows his stuff.
Offer different packages. Basic model with Rotax. Intermediate model with retractable gear and 300hp engine and aerobatic. Advanced model with turbine engine, retractable gear and aerobatic. IFR Certified, 200Knots. This is where you cut into the Cirrus market at a fraction of the cost.
Extremerecluse Fallows it’s an LSA airplane. Those options aren’t available without entering another R&D program. Future will tell.
@@Shandakel Experimental category allows any modification
Да, ребята потрудились на славу! Замечательно... Спасибо за видео обзор!
Thanks for putting this info out mojo!
An educated review that covers a lot of information . It entices me to want to investigate and learn more about owning and flying an airplane !
Thanks for sharing 😎
Definitely do some comparison shopping! This one is ludicrously expensive for what you get....
"Because of our low weight, we can offer a lot of engine options" -as long as it's a Rotax.
Newsflash, people who can spend $200,000 for a toy aren't concerned with spark plug expenses.
LSA was created to make flying affordable for the proletariat. FFA can't get out of it's own way.
Excellent Presentation...Thanks JP
Came right over to see if you covered something like what you had on your Instagram post.
So much information!!!
HEYYY IM AT THE SEBRING FLIGHT SCHOOL I GOT TO RIDE IN YOUR NEW PLANE!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Got it home with a Ratox 912.
Three blade prop.
Stuck to 110 kt cruise speed.
How about doing the Vashon Ranger review sometime.
I live in Northern Colorado Springs elevation about 6700 feet above sea level would definitely have to have a Rotax 914.
Haha, yes. Or the 915 iS later this year on the Bristell.
Stay away from all Rotax engines.
E W How many hours do you have behind 4 stroke Rotax engines?
@UCyqrnoHR2QljLPCdPkO3thQ None at all only lycoming and continental engines I have about 700 hours and most of it has been inCessnas.
Two years ago I had a ROTAX 912 attached to an Autogyro. The damn engine needed so much attention that it was not worth having it. Sold it for scrap. I changed to an AirMomentum AM!5 and I have had non issues with engines. Of course one does have to be more attentive to an aircraft than a car.
Nice plane!
It seems to me that the FAA should allow IFR for LSAs if so equipped and the pilot is certified. There would seem to be no reasonable justification for limiting the plane category as such.
Totally agree! I think a sport pilot should be able to earn night time certification and IFR certification.
Well the faa isn't there to help anybody, nor do they exist to promote aviation.
@@coolhari2000 not true.
A Brisell can be flown IFR in IMC provided it is registered as an ELSA ($1500 fee) and has an IFR certified piece of avionics such as a Garmin GNX 375 and the pilot is IFR rated.
Negative, you can’t put an electric motor in a Bristell as an ELSA. It still has to meet the definition of an LSA. While it is less restrictive and allows you to install many different options, you’re still an experimental light sport aircraft. It’s the same thing with trying to throw a constant speed propeller on an ELSA. It’s not a light sport anymore according to the regulations. Cool video!
Couldnt get past the fact that he used a flat blade instead of a phillips screwdriver at 4:37, ruined the whole thing for me.
Very informative video...nice job
The guy below me must be a mover and shaker. If you come to Cleveland we need to hang out. Friends are good but rich friends are great.
A Rotax poderia ter a Opção de Ofertar MOTORES movidos a Jet - A1/Diesel os Motores 912 Jet - A1, 914 Jet - A1 e 915 Jet - A1 - Teriamos mais Econômia em horas de vôo e iriamos ter um CANHO em autonomia considerável 👏 👆👏
Congratulations!
Or navigation in the craft
If so I can take my phone with me so I could use it for Navigation is cellphone or allowed in the craft as well
Great video! I would’ve love to Bristell put the seats don’t move up for me to reach the pedals. The pedals did not move forward enough for my short frame.
Bristell offers a 6 inch box mounted on the bulkhead to allow for shorter pilots. There is also an option for rudder pedal extenders. I am 5'6". I fly with the pedals forward and sometimes use a cushion behind my back and one on the seat so my eyes are 3 inches above the glareshield. I make great landings.
How cheap is an experimental aircraft 15 is I like to have one interested in experimental I like to buy one
Advises no parachute. Didn't I heard him talking about flying over mountains earlier? Wonder if he wears a helmet, riding his Harley.
We offer parachutes for the customer who want one. About one out of 4 customers order the BRS.
The Harley might be the best evidence of poor judgment ....😬
Choice and options are a thing
Not having a chute at least optionally is not a good business decision - I'm in the market but will pass on the Bristell for this reason
Que tal a Rotax fazer uns MOTORES movido a Jet - A1👏 Para ser usados neste aviões "Se fizer será um sucesso de vendas no 🌎"
"O Preço da Avgas e Caro em nosso País - Brasil"
..e quem vai pagar pra certificar?
I like the ul engines.
You should never shy a customer away from a BRS, this is a safety feature all new Aircraft should have.
Let’s see a side by side comparison with the vl3 Evolution
The Brisell is an LSA and you can get one tomorrow.
Love this plane. Interested to know more about the option in import as ESLA - does that mean that it's a kit?
al Whatmough They are not available as a kit.
@@Shandakel so how do they get converted to experimental?
but what is the maximum height a pilot can be to fly this plane as I am 7'4"
Wow thats tall
6' 8"
I like it this site so much. To be honest I want to buy LSA Bristel or other brand.
Vans aircraft are a fraction of the price and much better performance.
Please provide a key/legend for you acronyms.
And how much is it?
That plane is pimp.
I'd rather get old 182
With 10,000+ hrs
good choice for pilots with a medical.
is anyone grossed out by the amount of philips screws that are used on that aircraft? you strip the wrong one and you grounded a quarter of a million plane in the middle of nowhere! haha
Screws can be replaced. Very easily in fact. The pilot has no need to be touching those anyways. The cowling is all 1/4 turn fasteners which are also easy to replace and very hard to strip.
@@GideonSteel15 I'm sorry but I still cringing.. torx or hexagon is the way for anything reliable, especially for anything that need to be tightened properly.. I won't say it won't work... But they are a crap design ;)
@@LOLLOF90 I'm sorry, but they are all about equally likely to strip. The majority of small fasteners in a Bristell are hex not philips and they strip all the time. I am an A&P and I work on Bristell all the time. What you are worried about is a non issue.
Lorenzo Finetti , Ask any airline pilot about minimum requirement in big planes, you will be surprised how many things are inoperative and it’s still ok to fly....
Can Elsa planes be flown at night?
Darren Spohn yes, with night time package.
yes if properly equipped and the pilot is properly rated.
A quarter million dollars for a 150mph Rotax powered ultralight? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 or i could get an RV7 with a io390 for like $100k that'll blow its doors off....
I know you're trying to promote flying and increase the number of people involved in the activity, but really, you should focus less on bells and whistles of a plane and focus more on the MOST important aspect of any activity which is SAFETY. In February 2020, the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority released a safety notice advising of a number of fatal accidents globally involving spins and stalls of Bristell LSAs. The safety notice states "aircraft may not meet the LSA standards as it does not appear to have been adequately tested" and that "the manufacturer has been unable to provide satisfactory evidence that the design is compliant with the requirements of the ASTM standards applicable to light sport aircraft." The company has contested the CASA notice and claims that spin testing was conducted, although the manufacturer prohibits the design from intentional spins. How can you mention the Bristell and not mention SAFETY?
What is IFR - say what your want no POH , too tec. For this venue!
His reasoning for not having a parachute seemed questionable though. I wonder if parachute designs could be improved to be lighter. It doesn't have to bring the plane down in the greatest comfort, it can even be very unpleasant. It just has to be less than lasting injury and risk of death. I also wonder if the parachute could be designed to work together with the plane's aerodynamics as an extra wing so the fall is translated a bit to forward motion. I've seen jumpers land with super tiny chutes because it's wing shaped yet still achieve near zero vertical speed at touch down.
You need a nice used parachute?
You can’t control your plane when it’s under a parachute. So that’s why it doesn’t work like a normal personal parachute
Most problems/accidents occur at landing or takeoff, which in both cases parachute is useless. Even when you are cruising and something goes wrong, you will do all the checks first, then glide to an airport, the parachute will be a last resort. By the time you do all of the procedures, realize that you cannot glide to safety you have lost a lot of altitude and may not be able to use the chute. Parachute will work if you are cruising and get a problem and you deploy it right away. After figuring out your own protocol of how/when to use it, you will most likely realize the chute will not be the best course of action in majority of the problems.
@@mikeecho8772 It's not a majority case device. It's a malfunctioning control surfaces thing.
The Brisell offers a BRS aircraft Recovery System. Many of our planes come pre-wired for a BRS if the customer chooses to have one.
Nice Aircraft But Did they Run out of Money ? That Tailwheel Version Looks Like they parked in on a Wheelbarrow ! It Looks Terrible !!
The Bristell can't fly because it's FROZEN.
Let it go.
no excuses to not have retractable landing gear now days. fuck even give me a hand crank to lower/raise it. but not cool for the $$ you ask
I don't think LSA is allowed to have retractable gear
