SD-1 Minisport homebuilt ultralight aircraft

[crikycrocky]

Damn that is a small airplane! Very good thanks.

[Darthbelal]

amazing what you can do with that pink insulation type foam stuff.....

[gene8771]

can i have one

[terrafirma91]

How many flight hours on the engine before it has to be rebuilt?

[ArnoldVeeman]

How can one dislike this?

[terrafirma91]

@ArnoldVeeman : Just pranksters, and jokesters. They'd dislike anything, and everything just to annoy others.

ftw

[TheArctanx]

I wish I can build my own airplane one day

[dvh065]

Perfect, can not be the 1st one he builds. Since it too small, what is the minimum speed for this one?

[RVideoDesign]

Awesome!!

[wisecracked2]

looks like something from the hobby shop

[CaptainG19]

well done!

[Universal1Cadete]

does he need license to fly that?

[xdustinpattonx]

that thing is moving !!! i had no idea they could fly that fast !!! awesome !!!

[dwmascho]

You were cool until I saw the minivan

[droitega]

u can put a baby inside to take it for a flight hahaha

[RatkoUSA]

Nice edit job how you used R/C planes for the flying scenes. ;-)

[harrier331]

@RatkoUSA - humm it is not rc planes in the flying scenes it is the same plane as in the beginning obveyoustly

[janrusgo]

@RatkoUSA it's not RC planes!!!

[jimmyjamjar10101]

@RatkoUSA *face-palm*

[teofaouaz]

Super cool! The bird is so small that looks like R/C plane. And it can be stored in the garage next to the car. Lol!

[seantification]

Nevermind!

[seantification]

What is the song that starts at 32 seconds?!

[ArubaSailing]

VERY cool!!!

[rickey5353]

Slippery and fast.

[oliverT1310]

You need a license to fly this plane to fly with? someone owns you? :))

[monit111]

i know some guys with bigger RC planes i belieave this plane is called the joke in the avation world lol nah welldone it flys wat more you want

[thewhistler]

@monit111 LOL I think it is relly cool, looks fun. I miss flying, but I cannot afford it anymore. Maybe an ultra light will be better for me one day.

Also as a side note I do have an RC B-17 that is coming in which is about the same size as this ultra light. (no joke!) :-P

[Sam10947]

that's the only freedom that exists in the universe...is flying.

[TheZemaluco]

Loucos

[lucca0071]

porque nos não temos essas coisas o brasil!!!what are the Flight specifications?

congratulations you made a great job!!!

[survivalaustralia01]

awesome

[axelzammit]

what an awsome plane :O

[lardman2228]

Woah, what's Vne on that thing?

[cucaratsa76]

im impressed a trike engine has rotax 65-100hp but not this one....good job

[Georgieisaporgie]

I WANT ONE! SANTA GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!

[Engineerstudent101]

that thing is FAST!

[FrapsYou]

Please, can you tell me the price of this? Will it come in a kits?

[MatthewChristbearer]

@FrapsYou He made it himself. No kits.

[FrapsYou]

@MatthewChristbeare Actually I already found their website. They sell this plane in kits too.

[MatthewChristbearer]

@FrapsYou Ohh wow. A kit to build your own flying machine. What's next? Instant air plane? just mix the engine, the wings, the body and add some hot water and Voila! Airplane ready in two minutes.

[FrapsYou]

@MatthewChristbearer Laaka pott noodle... xp

[anyonefindAMERICA1]

A flying v-twin! Awesome!

[willubanx]

dear santa

[JohnWilliamCornett]

Looks scary...If this plane was certified for flight, then I would fly it as is :-) Nonetheless, I humbly suggest an extended wingspan. As a pilot, I'd like to see the V2 speed reduced to a crawl for safety :-) But then that might put it over the stupid FAA limit...so safety is reduced to stay under that "ULTRALIGHT" limit...BahhHumbug!!! = MAJOR FAIL!!!!!! PEACE

[ArmyScout509th]

OMG, snap on wings...

[viktorkyr]

КРУТО

[Archer7Tadayoshi]

That would be my "Car"

[THEGUNISFUN]

looks awsome god forbid you hit even a slight bit of turbulence and crash burn and die.

[yz85mp]

i would be shitting myself in that thing...its insane how fast one of them is

[flatpaws6]

What a beautifull piece of engineering!

[averyaccordion]

Its so cute! I have seen RCs bigger than that!

[PermgunCa]

add turbo?

[zyzo99]

go the wind, guys !

[stinkbugist]

those are too cool.

[contributor34]

This is from the dreams of all kids! Beautiful! Watching you all fly so high in such small planes kept me thinking of Icarus...Fly safe and not too close to the sun.

[posseidon7]

This is a big RC :D

[GrendalSven]

At least it can only seat one... one idiot who will die of a horrible plane crash from flying a plane built in his backyard.

[101perkmaster]

name your price

[ezpz2000]

Love it send the plans so I can put a motorcycle motor on 1 !!!

[MrJohnnyRck]

Oh como quisiera uno !

[MrJohnnyRck]

Que Genial !

[monky451]

i could fit in it but it would be like fat alber in a smart car

[noversibirsk]

im short 175.3 cm or 5' 9" maybe 176 cm, am i short enough to fit? i am lean skinny.

[BHWaj88]

Wow!! That looks awesome! Good going!

[NewKurDLanD]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome 

[mathsprofessional]

Sell this thing ?

[kahalelaukoa]

I would NEVER fit in that thing

[therexton2]

cher papa noel



[alexXx911922]

how much did you spent on it?

[armigerlives]

These are definitely not American..... American registrations start with "N". According to CFR Title 14 FAR Part 103, these planes would be too heavy to qualify as an "Ultralight" to the FAA in the USA. Max weight for a US ultralight is around 250lbs. It also does not require a registration, or you to be licensed to fly it. There are other restrictions on where and when you can fly it though.

[dinoalberini]

OK? This is Czech?

[MorteWulfe]

What are the glide characteristics of this thing? Can you dead stick it?

[boingkster]

@MorteWulfe Glide characteristics would be fairly good - the light weight and streamlined closed cockpit design should allow a lift/drag ratio of at least 9:1, or on par with a Cessna 150. You would definitely be able to deadstick it - the control surfaces seem quite large and it looks very responsive at takeoff speed. Check out the website.

[Schlomothebest]

I want one for my teddy bears, please !

[toro199999]

16 are fat and can not fit in a tight canopy, hence the dislikes!

[TinnBenn]

@toro199999 You have a nasty attitude. Do me a favor and shut that hole in your face

[toro199999]

@TinnBenn sorry buddy if i hurt your feelings i was joking :)

i apologize

[zilvinasasxxx]

just nice...

[BSmenot]

quite awesome

[MADdrummer971]

Its like a go cart but a plane!

[TheHeew]

@MADdrummer971 make an inside field LOL

[alcon8917]

Wow que chido tener y aser nuestro propio aeroplano.

[grieske]

Why didn't you use a transsonic propeller? That saves a lot of power.

[gotstreetglide]

So cool toy

[WulfBand]

I really like that tiny flap under the fliers seat in case he has to go ;)

I want 1 :)

[paytontech]

Beautiful design. Love the T tail.

[Alette]

i want this so bad haha

[etnad2k1]

what a toy

[nickboyer5953]

wow you must have some seriously large balls to want to fly in that..

[hanky97007]

Cool... I thought it was a radio control plane till I seen the control stick inside the cockpit. Stay safe and fly high.

[quantomic1106]

amazing!

[cmblake6]

Incredible! Makes me want to get my pilot license back for sure!

[funfrmekik]

god i love dis

[Taildragger2411]

on the 2nd vid viewing .i'm getting to like this little plane .I t kind of grows on you .I can honestlly say i see a fast little plane that could fun to fly.

[honorific88]

Pretty nice super-light, was the cheesy music necessary though?

[andrewaburnett]

Cool - but there is something unnerving about an airplane that sounds like an lawnmower!!

[44971719785648751978]

@andrewaburnett

Most use the same thing.

[ryancicocki]

WOW I want one how much are they and can you get them in the U.S.

[55chh]

@ryancicocki Looks like you have to invest time and skill to have one, not money!

[Taildragger2411]

Nice ,fast ,very esponsive .The only thing that bothers me is the fact that it looks flimsyor for want of a better word don't look too stong to me.pull a few Gs and are the wings gonna stay put?

[kovulovekiara]

is it illigal to fly planes @ my age. 14

me and my grandpa realy want to build a plane and get it approved by the F.A.A

[BMXfuel5o]

@kovulovekiara I don't think so. Go for it!

[warmfreeze]

@kovulovekiara I started to fly when i was 14. i say go for it and have a great time doing it. you are never too young.

[GlennRobert71]

wow I like.. whats the cruise speed with the 50hp config?

[audioboxblack]

wish i could build one and fly one

[Minidrags]

if there was a zombie apocalypse this would be fucking handy to get around.

[timtimtimtimtim449]

i think its a rc plane and a man go in fucking shit awesome

[YJhazz]

can i BuY YOur OK-kui-22 for 500,000$??

[peter11772]

13 people are afraid to fly lol.

[peter11772]

holy......fucking.....shit....­.this is awesome!

[monky451]

its gotta be scary knowing its only 30 hp at 1000 ft

[kamaldeen30]

nice

[foxkill7]

I always knew those RC planes were good for something!!

[simflying]

Really nice piece of work - next one from Czech is allmetal Merlin HV100 w.youtube.com/watch?v=M3kL-11A­PaA should be ultralight and microlight too. I could give more info if anybody interesting.

[AirRecceDeclan]

They are amazing. I want one! Well done on building them...

[Tyler34234]

but does it blend?

[Ibringthetruth1]

I didn't see what material the Rib in the wing were made of?

I like that it shows them assembling it and it putting on the wing.

[Dime7]

Do you need a pilot license to fly it? Sorry if its a stupid question,lol

[24jeffgordan88JRfan]

@Dime7 lol yes you would it's not to hard to obtain tho :) u just gotta have the money :(

[Dime7]

@24jeffgordan88JRfan Yea but it's not like police is going to pull you over to ask for your license :D . Money and time also i think...

[bernard240vdc]

nice aircraft probably quite fuel efficient because of the clean lines and small engine now about flying skills i would say that flying is completely different than driving and requires way more skill not given to all i think for instance when landing and nearing the runway one only has mere seconds to decide either to abort or land you cannot slow down to mucht until you are on the ground i know what i am talking about i have been taking lessons on the real thing

[FearlessDON]

how much is it???

[miksta115]

That's awesome, just a few nuts, bolts, and cotter pins, and you're airborne

[Snigglesnock]

i want to see it crash

[lomcevak2008]

@Snigglesnock You are an asshole Snigglesshit...

[ShaunThaSheep]

At first, I thought it was a RC

[deusradix]

looks very unstable

[TheWeinerdrizzler]

Sounds like a really long fart!

[TheSailor450]

is this thing aerobatic

[squatchmaster5000]

can i have that?

[sanata2001]

MODIFIED TO ELECTRIC MAY BE GOOD ALSO

[shawdowseaker]

Now make a fighter with a .22 machine gun on it!

[vanepico]

I heard somewhere that if your plane weighs less than 70kg dry minus pilot, you didn't need a pilots license, is this true?

[hormigaZ]

Ok, so we made a fucking huge mistake by letting 99% of the drivers not knowing shit about driving and having no skills at all to do it, but would this mean we'd do the same with flying? No I dont think so.

[FLSimaviators]

Great job on your planes looked to be fun and well worth the time you put in.

[avdenego]

it seems to go very fast. what's its max speed?

[venxxxxx]

Very nice hobby plane... maybe in the future someone can make a composite mold for the fuselage and cut down on weight even more. It will be alot faster.

[PDowling76]

@venxxxxx

Why would composite be lighter? Even if it was a little lighter it would hardly be much faster.

[andrewbrewster28]

how much money did this guy spend on the plane???

[RoninTXBR549]

Very nice...

[BNtrenching]

Compared to other planes, how stable is something like this?

[Trim1]

flying lawnmowers!! :o

[ElpapaDeLosHelados91]

Está genial el vídeo! Me dan ganas de salir a volar... Lo más cerca que estoy de eso es con Flight Simulator :S .... por el momento!!!!

[xspit0200]

were can i buy one?

[Skizzokiter]

Jumping the fence is intent to hurt someone, I am merely referring to the possibility of operator error or a mishap where a plane fails and lands in your back yard. when a car breaks down it stays on the road or pulls off to the shoulder. The planes in the vid are awesome and I love the video, but my post was in reference to someone else suggesting everyone commute like this. Do you really want a plane flying over your house every 20 seconds? You said it best, think before you type.

[swinarak]

There rots in in 1 year this cheap wood of pine that they use and poor person of aque fan that this one arrives

[kokokyoushi]

Nice airplane and appears to fly very well. However, no way does it qualify as an ultralight under FAA rules: it is too heavy and too fast for a legal UL. Looks like fun to fly, though!

[kokokyoushi]

@kokokyoushi Of course FAI and FAA rules are different. But this would not be a legal UL in the USA.

[DangerousDog18]

I want one!

[ryanfuller48]

Dear Santa.......I WANT THAT

[biglift1]

Dear Santa..........

[MultiMohamedsami]

Ah c'est vraiment super votre avion cher monsieur le bricoleur il est vraiment excellent et je trouve que c'est des engins qui ont un bel avenir devant eux .bravo et bon courage .

[1pnoe]

Excellent, and with an impressive max payload.

[noodlescracher28]

How much money is it to buy the finished product?

[nicksepulvado]

Is it possible to modify the plane a bit to have a passenger behind the pilot? If so perhaps increase the hp a bit by using 55hp engine instead of 50?

[nintendokillsOoO]

how much would one of these cost to buy fully assembled?

[wiredforstereo]

Yep, sounds like my lawn mower, without a muffler. I like it.

[321reball]

i must say, i would shit my pants in one of these

[scooti18]

With composite material that would be a fine part. Ultra-light and with great performances. So it would be perfect for the 120kg class in Germany. Perhaps a bit like silence-aircraft.de. Could you not just use this design and produce an equal plane of fiberglass? Asking Price € 25,000 € to 30000?

[magna59]

Very impressive..so add to it a diesel engine to reduce the fuel consumption,or may be PV covered wings,with additional generator and folding under carriage too & then go down the RC shop & add on a few gyros, i think they were used first on aircraft in the 1920's or 30's..but off course..you can only do soo much to get round the Muppet with the stick texting his wife, when some down draft or other knocks him into the local landscape / parking lot or shopping mall..to be human is to err !

[edyvlad001]

amasing !!!

[wildhorseshadwell]

fantastic idea everyone flying and landing on roads near home !!

there is however a tiny problem , most drivers on the road struggle to cope with 2 dimensional driving without misshap

on the bonus side it is unlikely they would need to chat about exchanging insurance details afterwards !1

[WhallonJesse]

Was quite impressed to be honest. That little think I could find quite useful.

[MegaLuckydog1]

The music is most bothersome

[Skizzokiter]

Cool idea for people flying instead of cars but honestly I am afraid of half the yahoos out there behind the wheel imagine some psycho nutjob flying over your neighborhood while your kids are outside playing the back yard. :( No thanks. That being said, this is a cool vid.

[tnhl77]

@Skizzokiter tell me about it I live in atlanta can you say I-85!

[Sviolinist]

@Skizzokiter Yeah but is that same psycho nut job behind the wheel of a car (which weighs A LOT MORE than an ultra light) any safer?? Won't he just crash into the front of your house or run your kids over on the sidewalk? Think about that one. The idea of ppl flying planes is where its at when you really consider things correctly.

[Skizzokiter]

@Sviolinist Hence why in my initial comment I mentioned being afraid of half the cukoos driving, so you are right on that one, also my kid plays in the back yard so they would have to take out the whole house to get to them!! : )
