Rotax 915 iS, Turbo Charged, Bristell light sport aircraft
I like this guest, zero hem n' haw,
no 'careful' wording, crafted to
conceal shortcomings just clear cut facts
with an obvious wealth of knowledge
regarding aircraft and flight rules.
In other words, no bs..
Beautiful plane.
Dan Johnson. I love his enthusiasm. He enjoys what he does.
3:28 This is a pretty good angle showing
off the canopy _shade_ section, to me this makes
the/a plane look so much more finished and
just better looking than the 'total dome' design
of many of the 'light sport craft' planes.
Nice job on isolating background noise. Appreciated.
That looks like a nice plane
I would be looking forward to seeing
the euro , retractable gear, show up
here in the US.
wow this is amazing this is the one we are wanting
148 knots or 274 km/h. Not bad!
I'm waiting to hear the price. I'm guessing it's over $175,000 US.
That model is 280,000
The regular bristell is well under 175,000. But the one shown here with every bell and whistle and 915 is 275000 plus
Options and pricing is on www.bristellaircraft.com
FoesFlyDennis Price as tested actually $296K.
8:05 If you register as ELSA, can the plane still be operated by a SPORT PILOT with NO Medical, subject to Sport Pilot day VFR and other restrictions? And once ELSA, always ELSA, no changing registration right? Is there 1320 lbs MTOW for ELSA, or can I experiment flying at higher weights? 5:42 852 lbs empty. What G-ratings if I could fly it in Europe at 1500 lbs?
Nice
The airplane needs an inflight adjustable propeller. Flying a turbocharged airplane / engine, with a propeller set for high pitch is scary. The first time the turbo give in or a duck come off of the intercooler, the engine will not longer be able to turn the propeller at a usable rpm
That's what we have here in Europe) but we are not allowed to have neither auopilot nor ifr
At Sea level, the Rotax ECU does not have the Turbo kick in and the prop turns up over 5000 RPM and the plane takes off great.
The Viking is a great engine but to try to put down the 915 engine is simply silly. The rotax 900 series totally dominates the LSA industry for a reason.
915 Turbo oil supply problems now fuel pump recall for the price Should have no probs
They should make a three place version.
4 place is on the drawing board
What would you say is the best bang for your buck ultralight for under 4000 dollars
The Legal Eagle.
Light Sport and Ultralight Flyer thank you
Getting confused. What is this B23 version been hearing about. Longer fuselage etc..
Paul Dutton That’ll be a Part 23 certified aircraft at a gross weight of 1650 pounds with the 100hp 912S Rotax. It’s designed more for schools as it’s a little more robust.
It is the new Certified Bristell. www.bristell .com for more info
Bristell has pretty much given the FAA's Light Sport rules the middle finger salute for a few years now. This plane is clearly intended for IFR flight. I love it, but it's not REALLY an LSA.
If it meets the LSA definition - which it does - then it is an LSA.
@@ultralightnews It's too bad lots of other LSA makers don't adopt this philosophy. There are several very nice aircraft sold only as LSA that could be decent cross country machines in light to moderate IFR if the manufacturers would follow Bristell's example.
It is certified as an LSA and meets all the requirements. In a few years a constant speed prop will be allowed and the performance will be even more impressive.
Dose any one notice, an aircraft took off and vanished in cloud🤔
Isn't LSA limited to 120mph?
at sea level, and it is 120 kts, which is 138 mph
Why not the RG version?..
It wouldn’t qualify as a Light Sport Aircraft unfortunately.
RG only available in Europe at this time.
How is landing the plane? With a prop set for travel and a slippery airframe this thing but be hard to stop.
Jan Still really easy to slow them down. The 20 or 30 degree notch of flaps are extremely effective.
My dog lands it without any problems
I looked up the price and saw $281,000. Ha ha. I have $60,000 in my RV-7 180HP CS Prop, Deluxe vfr and eats this planes lunch. LSA from Europe are over priced. Buy USA. LSA in general are too small and light weight, no aerobatics. Does not fit my mission or wallet... $281K.
You have a great plane. Happy Flying
This plane is for light sport pilot who dont need a medical and have the money.
Dint know a sport pilot could go over 10000ft
They can't, but that's a restriction on the pilot, not the airplane. Plenty of people (I would say most) that buy an LSA actually have a PPL or greater but chose to buy an E-LSA or an S-LSA because of the greater options with maintenance.
A Sport Pilot cannot go over 10,000. A pilot with basic med could fly I 25,000 feet. I will be flying at 18,000 feet as that is the max for my portable oxygen. When I first fly at 18,000, I will post the results.
@@peteranderson037 light sport can fly higher than 10000 if going over a mountain. 2000 AGL above 10000
@@peteranderson037 the private pilot glider rating allows a person to get the rating with no medical. They are allowed to fly powered gliders like the pipistrel sinus to 17999, they also have no international restrictions and can fly internationally with no medical. The light sport is limited to the continental United States and bahamas to 10000 ft.
They are allowed above 10000ft if 2000 ft agl of a mountain.
