    1. Very enjoyable 'interview' format, where we hear the subject expert without also waiting through asking of the question. 2. Effective video editing, switching between parts of the subject, sometimes at remarkably appropriate points during the discussion. 3. Outstanding subject aircraft-- this is the kind of airplane that excites this owner of a Skystar Pulsar III.

    The company is amazing. The VL3 is one of the modern ultralight/ LSA aircraft. Unmatched and unreached by the competition. To me one of the best aircraft products in the ultralight market, you can buy. Of course it’s money, but for this high end quality and performance still a bargain. The design and high finishing standards are outstanding. Great story behind the history, that makes the success of today I guess. Hopefully we will see a four seater some day also. Good luck to the way in the future. Keep on going. Great work and congrats to the whole JMB Team.

      I have a Glasair SII-TD 0-360. Mine seem a little longer and thinner. It’s not a complaint just an observation.

At high altitude and speed, we enabled the auto pilot, to simulate a far cross country flight. So no, the ailerons aren't too big to my taste, just perfect in all flight regimes 👌🏻

      Not even 5% of a copy. A totally different airplane. And much more developed. High performance brings a special design, the way it looks. The origin is from the Czech Republic and far away from Lanceair. They did not have this in mind for sure.
