Shakedown flight Blackshape Prime

This was a shakedown flight with the Blackshape Prime for which we flew with 4 aircraft to EDNL, back in 2017. We had the chance of experiencing formation flight and aerobatics. My pilot, a former F-16 pilot from the netherlands air force, did a great job (thx Rob). After an introduction into the aircraft handling, he handed me over the aircraft for some fun. What a fascinating bird.

Blackshape Prime is aerobatic, really? did not know that

[@ericgottwald3537]

With the motorization I have flown her she is pretty capable😉

Looks a lot like Tarragon. Are they related?

[@zendoc49]

yes they are, they are exactly the same except they increased the size of fuselage by 13 inches and call it Taragon

Eu quero um. Vou pedir ao Papai Noel de presente.

The pilot can hardly see anything above the dashboard, the same problem as the classic GA planes.
Looking straight down below results in a check of the upperside of the wing. In summer you need a very expensive sunscreen to protect you from the heat and UV. Not ideal and that for so much money.

In my opinion, they are nothing more than a money laundering company…but that is my opinion based on many things including going to their factory…and studying their business profile etc…but I could be wrong…just my opinion…

[@ericgottwald3537]

I don't know whether they are laundering money, the planes, however, are nice😉

[@robinrother1799]

So, you stated your opinion. What led you to form this opinion?

[@ericgottwald3537]

@@robinrother1799As a pilot, I am judging the plane's capabilities as well as its appearance. Although the latter is just my personal opinion and everybody else has to judge this in his/her own way, the capabilities that I experienced during my flight, were quite impressive.

My dude drops a bombshell and then vanishes without any explanation. Well done, sir. Well done.

@@generico896 I am a lawyer and an airline pilot so I know the complicated issues with regard to “Slander” and its derivatives. You seem to be “interested” but you go great gaps in time between exposes….it begs questions…..I have evidence that implicates yet you seem to hint at exculpation, Shall we chat more formally, via secure means such as subpoena or would prefer via litigation?
