    Bristell produces a first class light sport aircraft...
    Because we love you.... I remind you that next time please tighten up those straps because the downside of the canopy like that is that if that plane drops in turbulence, you'll be unconscious when your head hits the canopy... You really need to strap yourself down tight in that plane (I know you didn't want to ruin your fancy coat... LOL)

    Bristell - Parachute? Mike - You're videos are the BEST! I watch them all and learn so much - I'm really interested in the LS category as the cert is much less expensive, plus... 5GPH is a huge selling point for me, less pollution, - just seems like the way to go. Some of these LSA planes have a BSR or chute and that would greatly increase the odds of my family members climbing in one. Bristell - Parachute?

    Flew in one a few weeks ago out of Lancaster PA. It was a nice flight even though it was pretty bumpy. Never flown in a LSA before , flown in a warrior and 172 so the Bristle at 900 pounds makes for a pretty bumpy ride. Could imagine on those 90 deg + days what's it like. If you're looking to get a LSA ticket, just be prepared for possibly some rough days. If you don't have the stomach for sudden drops then stick with the heavier trainers where the flights are not as bad in the summers. Especially if the training area is over farm lands , lots of black tops and mountains.

    Thankfully there are a multitude of used factory aircraft and experimental aircraft that aren't out of reach. One of many is my Tailwind W8 with a W10 wing. Excellent performer on 100hp. Though not qualified as a light sport for a total of under 30k a person could own one including getting their full on pilots license. There are a lot of these and others out there so getting checked out is not a difficult process.

      It's enough, but you don't get a ton if extra amperage. I'm a CFI specializing in the Bristell LSA. Whenever we go flying, we've got the dual G3X, the G5, two fuel pumps, and the lights on. With all that on, the ammeter generally reads 0 or +1. If you turn off the auxiliary fuel pump and the landing lights, you might be able to get that number up to +2 or +3.

And getting a rotax like engine certified without the ridiculous price. Either some fairly cost effective minimal glass or develop own. Computer gear these days can be dirt cheap and put two in for redundancy, you should be good. Fully independent with a small battery backup in each. 50k is real money. 130k is very real money. 220k is crazy money.

      This plane will cruise at 120 kts. That's 138 mph. Where do you drive at 100mph though? That must be fun.

      @@dllc8641 Just booked a Bristell HD with 915 Rotax, G3X glass cockpit, 3 axis AP, fix gear (I don't like a lot RG), and constant Rpm variable propeller. I m planning a tour of the world next year and I think it's the right aircraft to do this.. I tested it with the dealer...incredible aircraft! The 915 mantains full power to 15000 ft and at FL 125 at 5500 Rpm, you can fly over 150 Knt. If you fly at 5000 rpm at FL 100, you have 139 Knt and it drinks 26,5 Ltr/hr. Right, it s not really cheap, but it can play the game with some renowed GA aircrafts, much more expensive, both in price and in management.

      @@giovanniolivo1325 What do you mean booked? You ordered one? Are you in the US? In the US this is a light sport plane. The RG is not sold here. Constant speed prop is also not legal here. Rumor has it that many of the light sport restrictions will change by 2023. For everyday flying the 912IS is great. The 914 if you are in the mountains a lot. But, that 915 would be great for climb rate but the rules say you still have to keep it under 120kts as a light sport. There are 2 companies that have already developed a constant speed prop setup that will make the 912IS do 145kts. Just have to wait until it's legal to do.

      @@dllc8641Sorry for my mistake, Yes I mean I ve ordered one. In Italy or Germany we don't have the same regulation as USA, RG is legal as well as variable propeller.
