    That Aerolite design and Dennis' operation is first class. I'd love to fly one someday.

    Love Dennis' honesty, hard work, and dedication. I also agree that the COVID nonsense messed up a lot of small businesses.

    Very cool video, great content. I'm about an hour from their shop, after watching the videos of that young girl flying an Aerolite 103 from South Carolina to Oshkosh sold me on this design. Going to put in an order for a ready to fly one......

    You want to know the lead time on parts. I ordered a hydraulic brake package, three wheels and tires ,and some brackets, on February 13 2023 I received two tires/wheels and brakes the end of May, and was told week after week that he would ship the rest on Friday. On July 3,23 I finally got a check in the mail for what he didn't send. Unless you have plenty of time to wait , you might consider something else.

    With no license required, do they offer training and if so what would it cost? Thanks

  • @joeteichert6821
    @joeteichert6821 Před rokem

    Cables tend to be lighter and stronger, but dragier as well. You'd need a kingpost above the wing to support the landing wires. Also, I personally don't like cables, having lost to many hairs of my head walking into them.

    Fantastic ultra light (part 103 FAR). Pop rivets better than TIG welding of aluminium pipe joints?

  • @portnuefflyer
    @portnuefflyer Před rokem

    Struts, instead of cable bracing, interesting. I wonder how that pencils out for drag versus weight? I mean, LOTS of UL's with cable bracing, I'm guessing using struts is a marketing decision, to appeal more to the conventional pilot perhaps?

    I simply wish they would just sell the plans as an option like so many do. I bought legal eagle xl plans but would drop those to build one of these aerolites. There's not a lot to it and it all bolts together, no welding and it's tricycle gear.

    Why no mention of the electric version? Is production going steady on those, and is there high demand for them?

    • @ZachWhitehead
      @ZachWhitehead Před 10 měsíci +2

      I think it was always just a proof of concept from them

      WHO needs this? It’s only for pattern flying good. No fun at all. 😅

    • @mofayer
      @mofayer Před 9 měsíci

      No demand because part 103 is limited to 250lbs, which doesn't leave much room for battery weight, which results in very short flights times.

    what you talking about i wanted to know how high the 103 can fly

    • @mofayer
      @mofayer Před 9 měsíci +1

      As high as any NA(naturally assisted) engine can fly, around 10-11000 ft. Any higher and you will need a turbocharger to compensate for the tinner air.

    I almost died in an ultra lite crash. We had engine cold seizure. Thank god I had my instructor there to take the stick and he saved us even though we caught the last pine tree and I lost my spleen, broke ribs and made love to the tree all the way down. I’m watching this as well as the one vid on a girl flying to Oshkosh. I have the money. Do I have the nerve? I live in NC. Anyone wanna help me?

    Dear Dennis. What exactly do you mean by "the covid nonsense"? That's quite an interesting name for a worldwide pandemic that led to millions of deaths around the world. Do you use such a term with safety? As in do you call quality control, safety, certifications, and performance testing all "nonsense"?? - Please explain. I'd hate to misinterpret your use of the English language.
