Lancair High Speed Low Fly By 1 - Missile Like!

[0HippyHunter0]

the "missile like" sold me.

[Ralroost]

Sounds mean! Just out of curiousity, what does it cost to built one?

[Outsidetheboxz]

Thats the power of american aviators. none of them are fatty cowards!

[jwolfe32536]

@ricargente, how much did you pay for the plane?

[marcmacd2]

I agree, I was fortunate enough, to have owned a 360 in Aus and if there is a country made for flying it is Aus. I cruised my 360 everywhere at 215 IAS, she was fitted with 200hp dry sump version, wingtips and the rough feild kit. My standard trips were 700 nm legs, not so long as to bust your bladder, but only if you were flying a Lancair... Yeh!

[ricargente]

VNE is 235 Indicated Airspeed. Best Ground Speed recorded, according to the Garmin GNS530, was 285 Knots. Typically however, I cruise between 190 knots to 210 knots TAS. Fuel burn between 9.0 and 12.0 GPH. If I got just a bit slower (usually on long trips), I can get her to 'sip' 8 GPH. -Rick

What is her top speed? I thought that she was a fighter plane at the beginning of the video.

BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man she is a runner !!

[gus23a]

[pianomansas]

one word SEXYYYYYYYYYY

[ricargente]

Thanks!

[ricargente]

Salamat!

[flyingrv6]

And I thought my RV was fast.

[FLY172M]

@flyingrv6 I know how you feel, I had a T-6 that only went 170 knots cruise. You would would still out run me.

[Transam941]

Love that sound. It sounds phenomenal.

[vinamais]

No matter what you guys say, this IO-360 sound simply doesn´t fit the beauty of this plane. Have your guys seen or heard a Continental IO-550 Lancair Legay?

[mrjetdoc35]

yeah, drag usually increases speed about 5-7 knots....I love know it all's on youtube

[gmanzeroalpha]

@mrjetdoc35 no you can increase speed and drag at the same time. In fact that is how it works. You notice in a car the wind resistance increases as you get faster? Its not always the case that noise indicates more drag however. I can whistle with my mouth and thats a lot of noise and not alot of airspeed.

[Braun09tv]

Thats just the way it should be.

Is there any plane in the world that is more beautiful?

I dont think so.

[ricargente]

I concur!! 360ZR now has over 1,000 hours and still looks as sexy as ever. Thanks!

[vinamais]

@ricargente 1.000 Hours??? Well, buddy, you are the living proof that, if flown competently, Lancairs can be safe, to say the least. Keep on having fun and flying well, my friend!!!

[Eltern10]

@Braun09tv

definitely! Check out the pilatus pc 21!

[WIPilot1993]

how fast was that

[ricargente]

Hmmmm, are you with the FAA who wants to help? ;-)

[ricargente]

We installed gap seals on all flying surfaces, top and bottom.

[peterkenneykenney]

i might like to try that on my 360..any info around as to how, what material etc..? best regards Peter

[ricargente]

Peter, a friend of mine purchased the gap seals from Germany. Probably used for gliders. However, I don't know company name. I emailed him to ask but no response yet. -Rick

[peterkenneykenney]

5 kts +...? wow good stuff.And GREAT SOUND!

what gaps did you seal?
