This makes sense to me: the problem is that new planes are not being designed in the 230-300 HP range, and Rotax needs to be included in the design phase. Otherwise, getting an STC to install a Rotax in a C182 would be cost-prohibitive?

Rotax seems to be loved by a lot of people, even preferred over the Lycoming/Continental in many situations. Why don't they produce engines up to 300 hp to compete with Lyc/Con? Is there something fundamentally limiting in their design? It seems like there would be a huge market if they can make...

This seems to be the engine pilots have been asking for for decades: jet fuel, turbo/super charged, water cooled... They are apparently ready to make and sell them, just waiting for the certificate (how long will that take?). In addition to their 180HP, they have developed a 200 and 235 HP...

Check our FlightInsight videos on YT, then decide if you want to buy the package.

Thanks for the report. I think the Sling HW is the best value new plane on the market today. The only thing I would change is to be able to open the pilot's window for aerial photography.

I am curious about your dial IFDs. Why do you have 2 of them?

Watch some free FlightInsight IR instructional videos on Youtube. I think they are the best.

Interesting. Do they have anything compelling vs Lyc/Con?

If you rent it out for $2,500, you will have to pay taxes on it, so won't have 2500 for your new mortgage.

Let’s say the plane is states away how would you get a pre buy inspection not knowing any mechanics in the area? My A&P and I flew commercially, one way, to the seller's airport. He spent the whole day doing the prebuy, and we flew the new plane home. It was a very long day, and it would...

Thoughts?

A tool that enables you to do the following: I decide to visit an area, let's say around Bend, OR, for 3 days (Fri-Sun). The tool would tell me for each airport within XY miles of Bend: - rental cars available and total price - airport fees (landing, parking...) - 100LL price - things to do in...

No BRS. You either disrupt the market, or you watch others disrupt you with better tech.

I am really curious why this plane has not taken off? Pun intended. Affordable to buy, cheap to fly, ridiculously spacious, well behaved, well supported (made in USA)... They have sold just under 100 Rangers in 7 years. The only criticism I have heard is low useful load. If 3 partners bought...

That article lost me at "Company’s mission of revolutionizing personal aviation...". A super expensive plane with very poor capability will not revolutionize anything.

Here is the newest video I found:

Anything new with this hot-looking plane?

Thank you. Yeah, Pponk sounds amazing at "lower" altitudes.

That is awesome. Thank you.

With the new rules, can someone get IR with only a simple GPS, like GPS 175, and 2 G5s? No VORs/ILS receivers. I am not asking if this is a good idea or not. I am just asking if it's legally possible. Thank you
