ICON A5 Flight Video 2

[935514595]

Dear Santa:

[OI8APC2]

Oh, only 135k? Better get two!! What a rip. I can build one for 15K.

[hilllbilllyjoe]

@OI8APC2 bullshit.

[BlobIslandGame]

They are gonna sell TONS of these since their only 135k.

[66yoyomama]

i want one but to bad they only made one

[brandon35335]

hey, i just found gods plane

[routhoula]

typically for some eccentric reach idiot. if you ask me go for a more useful plane like a cessna or a piper. oh, you want something for recreational purposes? that's what ultralights are for.

[naval8viator]

@routhoula Define the term "useful". I wasn't aware that you could fly a Cessna with a sport pilots license...

[routhoula]

@naval8viator A5 has only space for 2 people and im guessing no boot storage. in case you wanna use it for a purpose other than fan and games its no good. if you got the money, buy it, why not, but if you are on a budget, its totally not worth it. i think its better to go for a used general aviation plane.

[DJSHfore]

Really love it.I just have one that is RC model plane..

[beatchildproductions]

Sold...



[klaprat]

Really nice!

[av8rdav]

I'm sure glad it says water landings etc. I would have never guessed!

[TheLastJasta]

The future just called. They want their plane back.

[bikekid11]

Will it take off on land too?

[tasske720]

about license, what kind of license do you need like a PPL or summit?

[dumbenoughou812]

@tasske720 Sport Pilot Licence. 17 years old, 20 hrs min training, FAA written and practical examination, Restrictions: No foul weather flying or flying in cloud cover, no night flying, 1 passenger only, 10,000 Feet MSL and under. You could actually accomplish that in a weeks time if you tried.

[bigtruckseriesreview]

I WANT ONE...FUCK IT...GIVE ME TWO!

[JcXtreme72]

Make a 4 seater with 300hp so I can take my friends camping at lake tahoe.

[dumbenoughou812]

@JcXtreme72 I agree, but this aircraft meets LSA (Light Sport Aircraft) specifications. LSA was developed for less stringent requirements for sport pilots, making it easier for people to become pilots.

[piloty5]

@dumbenoughou812 this model meets that, but like the other guy said, they need to make a 4-6 seater to rival the t182/t206 that is also ifr capable

[airsoftandrc]

you can get an rc one for 200 pounds

[grissomairport]

Looks like something right out of James Bond, amazing!

[Nomoreidsleft]

Scary how it rolls hard to port on every take off. Must be some serious torque on that engine!

[snoopyloopy]

why am i only just now seeing this? i can be a huge fan of this, especially if a recreational license will suffice. landings must suck though, don't come in w/ any extra speed at all. that thing will float for eternity.

[minimusmax]

lol @ all the people saying "OMFG THIS IS SO EXPENSIVE"..... for a plane, this is cheap. Google Cirrus sr20 or a piper seminole.... 135-150k is dirt cheap for a plane, really.

[kmodoo13]

All that lasts the fuel??? It is to say all the time lasts in flight???

[im1greatman]

Well, the rich have yet another toy to play with. Maybe you'll drop some change on us poor folk from the sky sometime.

[unit666industries]

i can see my self packing lunch and flying to the farthest lake it can goes to.

[2Doug4]

i just fell in love with aviation! (rushes out the house to get pilot license)

[ndtkansas]

I saw this incredible bird at Oshkosh last week and couldn't write a check fast enough to secure a position. I can't wait - even though I'm 3 years out on the delivery. This can be nothing but fun!!

[2Aug2]

Got out of his $135,000 plane and drove off in his $60,000+ BMW.

[Bercik87]

Daaaaaaamn. I want it so baaaaad. But price is a killer. Small, can land on ground and water. Who would like anything more for travel.

[lothar2048]

@Bercik87 : Do you realize that the price asked is one of the most inexpensive one for a plane ?!!!

[Bercik87]

@lothar2048 Hello. I didn't say it was one of the biggest, it's just still unaffordable for me. However I'm doing anything I can to get flying license. Greetings

[09bartlett27]

sweet plane on Lake Isabella Ca

[utgmb]

As a consumer / pilot, I would love to see this retail for between $50K - $75k. But business tradition is to re-coupe as much start up money as quickly as possible. Therefore the dilemma . So hopefully a used market will develop from the initial buyers who get bored.

[schlusselmensch]

Gotta be through the first bancruptcy by now, right?

[King00000000000000]

THAT IS PROPER 007

[rock3tcat]

135K?

Hmmmm this or a house?

[nikkelm]

Don't dump that wing in the water!!!

[gradenko23]

The more I look at this video the more Im thinking of robbing a bank or something. Gotta have one BAD..

[alexmortillaro]

I'll take two please. and maybe one with some custom paint and kangaroo leather seats perhaps?

[briansmobile1]

This plane in RC model for is available on the Great Planes RC Simulator G5.5 as in the downloads file share part of the web site. It's WAY FUN TO FLY! It also had great detail for ie. the wings fold back, the cockpit opens/closes, the landing gear deploy/retract, and cockpit view is even available while flying. LOVE IT!

[911strobe]

GOOD! GOOD! A5

[rcflight13]

All this for $135,000? Y'know what, houses are sooo last century, I'm gonna get me one of these instead and just live in a shed.

[mobius1234]

@rcflight13 No, sleep in the cockpit, or make a tent out of the wing!

[rcflight13]

@mobius1234 I guess you could do that too but man is that thing going to stink after the first month or two, I doubt it could even get airborne with all those pizza boxes and RC planes weighing it down.

[alabala327]

@rcflight13 i agree with u dude this plane is awsome if it wouldn't need gas i wouldn't get down for nothing

[isocuda]

@rcflight13

Show me a house for 135k lmao

[Scott2122232425]

@isocuda Flint, MI

[mvent2009]

El próximo año me compro una cosa de estas para ir a la playa...!

[SurfGoggles]

I can't wait to get one. I read they sold 40 pre-orders already. What's the latest ETA?

[vality1]

why cant they invent a sport jet

[NelielTuOderswank]

@vality1 Because jets are high maintenance, filthy, use up more fuel, provide less acceleration, is too loud to use near people, and are for pussies.

[andyshangar]

Raw? Ahem...  it cuts away before we can see the plane floating, unassisted.

Let ME come and film the next flight test, and footage you can honestly call unedited.

[orville0922]

I thought it was going to be very expensive but at $139,000 (as an estimated price) it is a very good invesment. I'd prefer buying this over a new car ^.^

[prytherce69]

@orville0922 except most new cars are like half that or less

[statusbrown]

berry nice



[Huebination]
