Here is one of the few gems at this year’s US sport aviation expo in Sebring FL. Some of you may already know about this beautiful light sport aircraft. The Tecnam Astore is a low wing plane powered by a 100hp rotax 912 engine.
One thing you can always expect from Tecnam is that you will get a fine interior space in any of their line of aircraft. And the Tecnam Astore is no different. Fully decked out with nice plush and luxury cabin. The cabin width is about 46 inches. You also can get the airplane with a 6-pack or Garmin G3x avionics.
The aircraft has a max cruise speed of 124 knots and burns only 4.5 gallons of fuel per hour. You can travel in the Tecnam Astore north of 600 nautical miles.
The Tecnam Astore starts from about $150,000 for a standard model. Add all the extra features and avionics and you’ll be looking closer to $200,000.

Good looking plane, resembles AA5B a little
Great plane
Sweet 1st again. Excellent information video as usual. I could fly that from my back yard
Nice, thanks
I was hoping to run into you there. Well not literally. Thanks for your reviews. Maybe we will chat at Sun’n’Fun!
Nice.
Have you ever done a review of the Blackshape Prime? I like your reviews because you cover the points that interest me.
I'd also be very interested to hear your thoughts on the Blackshape Prime
Good Astore, Like...
Now we’re talking! Now the P2008 turbo!
Parabens por falar o Preço. Pelo menos podemos Sonhar com esta beleruza !!!
The aircraft as you are showing it is 240,000. I just left the expo and had a long talk with the representative. The high wing version is about 10000 less. Depends on the engine you choose. Nice review.
Will you do the Eaglet too? Maybe more extensive overview if possible.
Thank you!
When will they have a BRS or some other parachute available? - their literature says you can order "Category Upgrades A1001 Advanced - Parachute Galaxy 600 Kg" But that looks like it's for the European plane, not the USA import
Hello. Can you get this on floats ???
Can you have this on floats???
The airplane sells for over $75k more than your guesstimate, similar to what other top-of-the-line LSAs sell for.
Looks like Sling 2
Mike - which low wing S-LSA have you found to really achieve the stated cruise speed of 120 knts ?
Fred Bates The Astore with a 914 turbo will do 120 knots true easily.
Many of them could exceed 120 knots if it were legal. The same aircraft are sold in Europe under their Ultralight category, which doesn't have the ridiculously-low speed limit that the USA's LSA rules do, and something as simple as a change in prop pitch allows them to go faster.
Just asking which one if any of the S- SLA’s Mike has flown Actually achieve 120 knots cruise speed - still air conditions with the advertised motor - like the 100 hp 912 Rotax fuel-injected ? Not the 914 nor the 915 . Equipped with STD options, planes Like the Sling , Tecnam Astore or the Sports Cruiser etc.
Fred Bates The Flight Design CTLSi gets very close to 120 knots at max cruise. The SportCruiser is about 114 knots with a 912 ULS.
The Rans S-19 does
Have you made a decisions about your own airplane?
Are you buying this one Mojo?
It's a nice airplane but, as a private pilot, I couldn't really see spending so much money on an LSA. I'd rather spend much less on an older, more capable part 23 airplane. I really wonder if the LSA market is going to survive with Basic Med now available.
Light sport aircraft are top of the line and almost half of part 23 aircraft. I want a new plane with top of the line items that make for safe and enjoyable flying. I would want a parachute, envelope protection and roomy cockpit. I was here at the expo and I and 6'1 and I could stretch my legs out completely and still not touch the pedals.
@@mauriceevans6546 That's great but for my mission, I'd want higher speed, higher useful load, longer range, ability to carry more than one passenger, better crosswind performance, and a bit less bumpy ride with a higher gross weight. Older well-maintained aircraft can do all of that for less money and many have state-of-the-art avionics. About the only thing lacking is a parachute.
And, btw, they don't have a great safety record as of yet.

If you're like me and have a disqualifying medical condition, but believe you can become capable of flying with proper training, LSA are a godsend. I can do a long cross country, with a loved one, and still get a rewarding experience beyond what part 103 offers. It's my only way of truly getting in the air, and I'm willing to save for years and years to pay a premium if necessary.
@@sammilbauer9252 I don't know what your condition is, but seriously look into getting a Special Issuance if you want a Third Class medical. Your condition may not be completely disqualifying. The FAA may issue an SI after some tests and possibly a medical flight to determine if you're eligible for the SI. If you pass those things, they'll give you the SI and a SODA from the medical flight. Also, you may still qualify for Basic Med. Basic Med has really opened up the PPL again for people who thought they could only fly as sport pilots. Again, I don't know your condition (and I'm not asking), but I do urge you to do some research and make some phone calls if you haven't yet.
I have a Third Class with an SI. I went through a medical flight, which was largely formality. My condition doesn't hamper my abilities at all but it was on the FAA list of disqualifications. For years I thought I couldn't get the certification until an AME described the SI process to me and told me that there are thousands of pilots with my condition who fly. It's a bit of work and a lot of bureaucratic red tape, but completely worth it to me.
Good luck!
@Jon the Pilot thank you. I did discuss with my AME. Unfortunately, ADHD is a difficult condition to get a special issuance for. Though I'm hoping many hours of safe lsa flying could boost a potential application in the future
is it that impossible to get an AC on a 200K plane? I mean even a 7K car has AC. Whats so hard on putting an AC on a plane? I would really like to know. Thank you.
In an airplane, everything that adds weight, increases drag, or draws power is an issue. Each pound of machinery is a pound less fuel or passenger allowance, since the maximum take-off weight is limited by law. A/C isn't needed as much in a light aircraft as it is in a car, because as you climb to higher altitudes the temperature of the ambient air drops. Having a good cabin heater is more important on most flights.
@@seikibrian8641 Thank you, It will be nice anyway. From a non-pilot pov, planes should be as comfortable as cars
@@yacahumax1431 we might start seeing ac in light sport planes when the FAA increases the weight from 1320 to 1600/2000 mtow
Can't and will never afford it.
Beautiful plane but just like all the other types of this same style, your stuck once you get there and have to pay for transportation. If you can’t put a fold up bike in the back of it, it’s useless.
First you say that all LSAs use the Rotax 912, which is not true, then you say all LSAs have tricycle landing gear, which is also not true. You need to do a little advanced fact checking before you do a "review" video.
No I Am Not First
No My Pet Didn't Die
No it's not my birthday
But can I still get a like?
Sure can 😁 and you get a ❤ anyway.
MojoGrip Thanks and keep up the great videos!! 😀
