Nice airplane. That particular one is registered in Botswana, Africa. Blackshape is out of Monopoli, Italy. I guess it's cool to know this plane is out there, but getting your hands on one? Support? Parts? $210,000 US, BTW.
Beautiful bird! And a great preflight! Excellent job! Love the concept of pilot/owners sharing their planes. We can't wait for you to get the work done Mike! Go MojoGrip Go!:-)
Aviation is a very expensive lifestyle. I am always surprised by people who think new airplanes should be $75,000. This is a beautiful aircraft and it is priced accordingly. Becoming a pilot is very expensive, but people find a way to get it done. Whatever ur desire is, don't ask how much does it cost, but ask how can u afford it. You might just find yourself living your dreams.
Nice to see you made another video. Hoosier pilot, Blackshape 0650 & 0685 are in the hanger, hanging out with my Sling4 VH-WCD. There isn’t 2 better planes to go for a fly in. So, just get both. :)
Hey Mike! Cool video. I wanna know more about this airplane: do you think you could do an interview with the owner and tease out some of the pros and cons? I’d like to know if a three bladed prop is available. I’d also like to see the 915 Rotax engine in it, for full FADEC.
I-Am Dougg I know, retracts, variable pitch prop, etc. Too limiting and limits cool planes like Blackshape Prime from becoming available in US. BS rule in my opinion....
@@motionsic With the USA being by far the largest watcher of RUclips I thought it important to point that out. The LSA Rules will hopefully be changed by 2023 and this plane will meet the guidelines. The LSA category opened flying to many that could not get a PPL due to medicals. There had to be some restrictions. But I agree with you. Very stifling rules that are simply stupid. An LSA pilot learns everything a PPL pilot learns.
@@mauriceevans6546 I'm well aware of what we learn. I'm a Sport Pilot. And hood time is now part of the training. I believe they want 30-60 min with the hood on. I've heard that a night endorsement is on the horizon for these new rules. That would be great!
That is a really slick plane! Maybe one day I’ll be fortunate enough to have something like that or a Sling TSI for my channel. How’s the TSI coming along btw?
@@aviator267 I saw the dealer in Canada on the website. The airplane as shown is well outside of the US LSA regulation. If there are any in the US, they are not registered as LSA or not US registered.
Only for initial Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) rating. Back in 1975, my instructor demonstrated spins before I soloed, and had me perform them (left, and right) before he signed me off for cross-country flights.
@@EJWash57 Weird, in canada the student enters and recovers several times during thier training, but not a test item until commercial. I bet it has little impact on the crash stats tho, identification/prevention is more important. For some reason I was wondering how the Prime spins.. (but more interested on DOES it stop!)
Our club has one of these. But it crashed recently killing both pilots. The AAIB is still investigating.

Your wife bought you this airplane. Very sweet of her. Please tell us how you became the perfect husband, deserving of such a gift. I am sure most of us guys could use some pointers. Thank you.
I'm a fan of tandem for aerodynamics but it's basically the same speed as a 912 VL-3 with side by side seating and the Sea Avio Rison bests it outright despite having side by side seating. Smaller cross section helps but apparently the right shape is very important. And no one has yet done a tandem that takes advantage of the smaller cross section so it can go faster than the rest.
Hi sorry, as much as the aircraft is beautiful, the video and audio is terrible, if you are making videos know where your audio is and going to be, have a script, and or points structure, and practice your piece to cam
Wooo ! That tail light strobe is freaking cool.
Aviator267 and MojoGrip! best crossover between cinematic universes ever.
Beautiful plane. Really nice demonstration.
Thank you...Both. @MOJO and @aviator 267.
The GA community is stronger when we share.
I love the quick open cowling. Makes the preflight way easier than opening 18 push screws.....and then putting them all back in again.
Doug Flight that’s one simple feature but makes such a huge difference.
Unfortunately to remove the below part of the cowling it is a mess, almost one hour to remove 8 bolts in a tight space.
Paolo Aleu 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know ... tell me about it.. I think I have it down to 45mins now though.
Aviator267 On my Blackshape I need also to remove 8 additional bolts of the front gear doors hinges, before to be able to remove the below cowling.
@@paoloaleu5577 actually I leave the hinge bolt/screws in and just slide out the hinge pin. Saves the threads on the screws.

I wished they had this at my school during my pilot training. See it more and more now as trainers, excellent! enjoy!

Beauty. Just cryin' out for a 916iS...

Excellent Advice. You want it bad enough - you will overcome the obstacles!
That is an impressive stall speed for such a fast plane.
Such a sleek looking ship
That is a great looking aircraft!!

Andrew I've flying so much and just had enough time to help Mike out. hopefully ill have more time soon
Italian beauty
Beautiful bird, and a nice thorough pre-flight, thank you!
Beautiful plane. Thanks for this pre-flight
Beautiful plane! Looking good is flying good! I'm surprised it isn't fuel injected.
Great job on this video. I'm new to law this. Very comprehensive

The 915 is turbo version with a three blades MT propeller is already available, ask directly to Blackshape.
Good looking plane. Enjoyed the video
Beautiful plane!
So sweet! Thank you!
More video about this plane!!!!
What is the lever for, in the middle under the dashboard, between your knees ?
DirkDucat to adjust the rudder peddles back or forward
My dream plane
Wow. Nice and clean. Very new. Does it have A/C?
Yippee! My favorite light sport airplane! Thanks Mojo Grip!
In the US it would not classify as a light sport. For many reasons.But it is a sweet ride.
I-Am Dougg I know, retracts, variable pitch prop, etc. Too limiting and limits cool planes like Blackshape Prime from becoming available in US. BS rule in my opinion....

@@dh-flies the only thing we sport pilots don't learn is Night flying, VOR navigation, hood time and longer cross country

Italian aircrafts🔥❤️

That is a super nice plane. It reminds me of a fighter with a prop!
I can't believe I watched it to the end
Crossover Episode!
Very nice aircraft and video.
dude has kind of a star trek TNG vibe
Beautiful lines. I kept thinking this would be 25 knots faster, and climb better, and justify the price better, with a Rotax 915.
That is one sexy aircraft!
Nice
can you fit larger tyres for grass stripe landings ?
Nice plane
Blackshape obviously a super cool airplane. Way too expensive though. $ 285k CAD
Where do you put your backpack with spare batteries and lunch when your in the front seat?
I love your videos
Very cool aircraft. It is unfortunate US rules do not permit certification as a LSA. Probably why there are none in the US. 🙁
There is actually a Canadian & North American rep with a few in country already
@@aviator267 I saw the dealer in Canada on the website. The airplane as shown is well outside of the US LSA regulation. If there are any in the US, they are not registered as LSA or not US registered.
When will Prime be approved in US?
Bello !!
What kind of license do you need to fly this plane?
Are Spin entry and recovery still not completed by the student in the U.S?

@@EJWash57 Thanks! I couldnt remember if they changed it and was too lazy to look..
Is that a South African accent I'm hearing?👀

I'm curious why airplanes like these aren't fuel injected?
What happened to the rest of the video?

blah blah blah.....
Yes you would know because you are a veteran flyer? I didn't think so...
@@slapaleftyhard6231 plenty of veteran flyers but they don't know jack shit about brilliant engineering, my guy.
@Jimmy Crackcorn should you be able to rise to using your real name you will have come closer to being able to appreciate how awesome I am.
@Jimmy Crackcorn bus drivers aren't great bus engineers so not that it matters but I have a plane.
Why a none IFR aircraft???????????
It looks very slick, but lacks sportiness. That 100 horse is not enough power for the aircraft.
I think they offer the 100hp option for LSA? It needs a 915 though...
that gear switch looks like you could accidentally hit it.......on the ground....
It’s guarded... you can only select it deliberately
First
Hi sorry, as much as the aircraft is beautiful, the video and audio is terrible, if you are making videos know where your audio is and going to be, have a script, and or points structure, and practice your piece to cam
Planes got latches like austin martin... ohh noo...
I am not interested because it does not have a bathroom.
This channel is dying!
