Greg takes his home built airplane for a flight

[imaudie43]

Scratch the "by myself" part at the end

[imaudie43]

I'm actually planning to make my own biplane myself, no plan, completely from scratch, by myself.

[jtkent28]

Some assembly required. Hope batteries are at least included.

[michaelpilot1000]

These airplanes are too fast, too weak . No thank you!

[Brenzilla4698]

How fast can it go?

[randeddy]

the poor fellow is obviously afraid for his life, but yet he must walk the plank of death!!!!!!!

[easydoz1]

Why not use a small rotax engine? The thing looked really light.

[chrisazarian]

NOW THAT IS COOL

[masterco93]

how powerful is this engine measured in HP ?

[lauris47]

did he died ?

[patko1610]

i like it it looks pretty simple ands its got beutifull paintjob. just one question how much it cost to bulid that thing?

[moptim]

is this a boxer or an inline?

[mjok2004]

Do they not teach you how to fly the centerline where you learnt to fly?

[degas]

uhhm scary

[ushouldntjudgeme]

Nice Mini-Max Greg!

[idontcare80]

That has to be the most frightening engine that one could ever fly behind.

[PistolPete2]

I think I would install a roll bar in case the thing flipped over.

[JayWalli]

I just saw a film, which i hope never to see again. I too got affraid when the motor was running, and you were to near to the prop.

Oh well everything went well. But that motor was really working hard. A bet more powerfull motor if this was mine, but then i had to get a bigger lon :-). GOOD LUCK WITH IT......... :-)

[docscot11]

Man i hate to see you moving so quick around that prop while its running, and getting in between the prop and the wing like you did after firing it up. I would hate to see you loose a shoulder or your life from such an easy stumble. and yes i have worked around very dangerous moving parts. Take care, nice plane aswell.

[AAzmanacob]

wow!! that bastard is realy flying....

[hecklovetch]

Is this airplane a Mini-Max? That modded VW sounds great.

[asmetuyasiempre]

if that man or u made the damn plane ,u dont need no damn license

[EastWindRain]

Can you fly your plane at night? What about in the rain? Do you need a license? How do you get a license? How far can you fly on one tank of gas? Very cool plane.

[AllenRockwell]

gylanunderhill.

Once more, this time in English and with punctuation please. Your post gave me a headache.

[dodge1997]

To build a homebuilt without the incorporation of a BRS, Ballistic Recorvery System to me is suicidal and

ignorance. Only thing dumber is not having taken out a life insurance policy for your loved ones beforehand.

[justinRkeaton]

not if you know what your doing, its safer than driving down the road at 40 mph, in a car, so its preety safe,

[chiosex]

@justinRkeaton lol, crashing a car at 40 mph or crashing a plane, i know which one I'd rather be in! (well the plane but i bet survival would be trickier, lol but what a way to go!)

[the1bigace]

thats a misinformed thing to say. SO many homebuilts are flying today. Aviation started in a bike shop ya' know!

[dodge1997]

Yes I do know that Aviation started in a Bike shop. I also know that The Wright brothers plane only got a few feet off the ground so that when it crashed the chance for death or serious injury was minimal. Todays homebuilts Yes are much safer but can climb/cruise at great height. So when someone you knows is killed in a crash and you know that they had a better chance with a B.R.S. system..maybe then you'll understand my point which is far from Misinformed but a personal choice and opionion.

[cgonnion]

I have a MiniMax...I also have a BRS! Safe flying, boys!

[dodge1997]

Cudos to you Sir ! A smart Aviator as well

as one that understands that anything used to enhance your safety and survivabilty is worthwhile. I compare the non-use of a B.R.S. similar to the S.C.U.B.A. that decides having a B.C. vest, or weight belt, or back-up regulator or a knife, etc etc are all avilable but not needed.

[archerrobinhood]

VOLKSPLANE! VP1/2 lol

[leslycyd]

hey , uncle joe! ok i got ur id tnx we will add u up later. & advanz happy b.day! godbless you. :)

[Stragglor]

might want to put a dab of paint on the prop tips there my friend....might lose yourself a finger.

[maoristereo]

or an arm. or a head

[elreservista]

what is it', Minimax, Volks, the whels are too small , dont ?

[808wiz]

But such a nice plane!

[808wiz]

Sounds like my bug when it's sick;)

[springfeildshopper]

hmm i wonder what type of store you buy the kit from

[lilcapz444]

IKEA

[DocterrNick]

HOME built

[TheA330pilot]

Nice! must have been one hell of a bumpy ride, though?

[iloverush123]

Now I've got a summer project!

[chanderson1]

wow, he only needed like 20 feet of runway or something and he was airborn.

[Logan3874]

Did he ever come back? But great work-->5*

[SickAudi]

lol

[b101aa2]

Eh, it's a Minimax.

[backpacktraceurs]

wing area?

[jackbob12231424]

5 stars, bloody awesome job, well done matey

[transdrole]

Learn to stfu and show some respect flightsim

[liyt100]

this is awesome.... hope i could build one myself...

[ChrisPCrunchy]

Kit supplied by Mini me aircraft inc.

Same as Dr Evils plane but 1/8th the size.

[sk8erboi66ericko]

hahahaha

[FlightSimTutorials]

Why is the video so compressed? Learn to encode.

[ChrisPCrunchy]

Because the plane is so compressed Im guessing. Planes can be encoded?

[cowboy6591]

Great plane, I would like the stats however, weight, class, [sport-exper.-ultralight etc.]

and horse power.

The aspect ratio on the video out put was way off, remember people youtube cannot handle HD wide screen outputs, You have to output to 4:3 ratio or the picture id going to skinnyfi everything giveing a distorted view. This airplane is alot bigger then it looks because of this.

[motorspear903]

Nice job on the plane.

[FlightLevelHeaded]

What's Greg's full name? I'd like to take out a life insurance policy on him.

[doorgone]

Masterful! Fine plane and engine! 5 star!

[mjok2004]

Looks like he cant keep his wings level with not much of a cross wind lol

[1taildragger]

had a CA-2 with the half VW engine,,,vibrated like a &*()_+

[TRANSFORMER2508]

LOOKS NICE LOOKS LIKE A MINIMAX

[geob01]

Can you tell us the name of this aircraft? Love that 1/2 VW sound! :-) I am going to retire soon, and I like to build things...

[mrbob55]

The plane was built from a TEAM kit.

[DrLsw]

Nice plane :) looks good. i wanna do something like this but smaller and wont go as high maybe 75-100 feet.

[flycory]

Can't get much smaller than this.

[geob01]

You might wanna look at the Skypup then. VERY simple, safe, slow.
