Jeeeeze! how much power do they have going behind that little prop?
It's like a VTOL or something.

This vid is frikkin' addictive!

The whole thing is superb from a photography point of view, but the final scene, beginning at about 3:52, is simply stunning.

Awesome find, amigo. : )

For reference:

A Cessna 150/152, a fairly standard two seat trainer, has a gross weight of 1600 lbs. It comes with about 100hp - slightly more in the later models. This is with a fixed pitch prop, which is most efficient at one airspeed, and less so above/below that.

The Extra has a loaded weight of 1550 lbs, would usually fly at less than that, and has 340hp with a constant speed prop that can *always* get that full power transferred into the air.

It's like comparing a Blast with an XB12. Same general weight, slightly different power. : )

... and I really, REALLY need to either get out riding, or get out flying. One of the two. :-/

It is not a Extra, but a Edge 580!

Wow!

Cool stuff thanks for posting.

I think he needs new valve stem seals though & maybe rings as well, that motor's a bit smoky.
