However, it wouldn't qualify as an LSA aircraft in the USA due to it's performance, retractable landing gear, hydraulically variable pitch propeller, etc...

By any chance will you folks be taking your plane to fun and fun 2025 down in Florida? Would love to see your Risen sometime. I think I saw perhaps the video of you're playing being flown from Europe to the United States.
@@LB-pv7sd It's possible I'll take it to Sun and Fun. I'm sure one or more others will be there. Mine is hangered near my home at KSHN, in the Great Pacific Northwest. And, no, it's not one that you saw in a video flying across the Atlantic. Mine was shipped in a container, and was the 14th arrival in the U.S., with two more expected almost immediately after mine. I understand that the majority of Risen sales are now to U.S. customers, so the quantity in the U.S. should build fast. I should mention, almost better than the airplane itself is the designer and President of the company, Alberto Porto. He's such a sweet man, so full of integrity, of caring for his customers, and of passion to make the best possible airplane. In a Risen, you're not just getting the airplane. You're getting Alberto too.
Mosiac rule was initiated to allow these planes to qualify. It amazes me how people have the idea that the proposal will be vastly different from the final rule.
One stopped by at a fly-in, in Hood River, Oregon USA last year. Wildfire smoke so bad they decided to delay the rest of their trip. The pilot said it was one of two currently in the U.S. Oh my gosh what a beautiful plane!
I like this plane. The side by side seating is more what I like, the sitting behind is for wanna be jet pilots who aren't. All aspects of this plane are nice, also the cabine and the instrumentation. They really put a lot of thought into this product.
I saw the Risen at Aero 24. It is a lovely aircraft and is very comfortable inside. The big issue that I had is that getting in and out is not easy (you have to shimmy in under the canopy) and definaterly one for the slim and limber. Price is on a par with other retractable, performance, 600kg aircraft, however, is is a lot cheaper than the Blackshape Prime! Putting money where you mouth is, I decided to go for the Shark and I'm expecting it to be delivered April 2025 (8 months from now), however, I could get it at the end of 2024 but I'd rather have it in the spring than the winter.
I live in Czechia, Shark is very good choice if you do not mind tandem seats. I would love to own Risen, unfortunately my pocket is not able to pay for it.
@@alexvbyev Blackshape - cost, its quite a bit more expensive. Also, the crew on the stand were certainly not particularly approachable (maybe not the most important characteristic BUT not a great way to sell a 350k aircraft!).

The foot step for access is in the flap so when the flap is down theres a nice foot rest which helps you get in and stops a clumsy passenger standing on the wrong bit! Unfortunately I dopn't berlieve that there is a UK dealer so no ability to see whether my wife and kids like it. My wife didb't like the DA-40 as it was difficult to get into, didn't like the center stick and found it a little cramped. The Shark is actually a decent size inside. Not roomy but space where you need it.
@@thefxautopilot I live in Czech Republic, sorry about my english. With tandem if you go with other person, you have less contact with your passenger- (if your passenger is a child, than it is even much worse because a child may need some help, but you can not reach so far behind you, and also you have no acces to your trunk during the flight to get some food or whatever.. When you fly alone a long distance flight, than it is even much better to have empty seat right next to you- you can put there many things without moving center of gravity and those things you would never reach from behind in tandem aircraft. Generally all ultralight or LSA arcrafts are easy to get off balance by putting too much weight behing center of gravity point.... This problem is certainly much bigger with tandem seater, because your trunk is placed at longer distance from center of gravity...
@@thefxautopilot Thank you for your words. I fly with small aircrafts since I was 15. If I would decide to get tandem, than Shark is proven to be very good, but I like a bit more the Stream from Tl. utralight. Hovever Shark might have a better landing gear which is some advantage for grass landings(it looks more durable). From other aircrafts I like Dynamic made in Slovakia, which also have very durable landing gear even if you get the retractable.(They make very similar 4 seater and they call it Avantic if I recall that correctly). VL3 from Czechia is of course also very good. I was flying with Fascination which is no longer made, but it is also fast and it has much bigger trunk compare to any of those aircrafts mentioned above. However the retractable landing gear on this aircraft is not very good when used for grass airfields. I love Risen, but I can not afford it. If you want something less expensive, than you can have a look at Faeta from Atec UL made in Czechia. I used to fly with their Zephyr which was the predecessor of their Faeta. . Best regards from Czechia.
I think some of these videos try to create excitement and alarm. Near the end, you call this a controversial airplane. Why is it controversial? It's a light, fast, efficient, sexy, capable and not outrageously expensive like some other manufacturers for new planes. If two pax are all you need to carry, it qualifies as a super airplane. If you've ever flown long distance in a small plane, you'll appreciate many of their advantages.
I love it that you’re asking about the soul of an airplane that is very uncommon and I’m glad that people like you make videos like this unfortunately they still don’t let me fly alone so I cannot give any opinion based on flight experience on the aircraft but I took a lot of flying lessons and I didn’t feel very safe in those high-performance aircraft which at least in Germany are crashed on a regular basis by flight club pilots who believe their truck Jäger I like to fly in. Heiland configuration in something really forgiving yeah it’s like if it was a car I would enjoy driving an old Mercedes convertible much more than a race car anyway it’s just me thanks for the nice video. Lots of good and safe flights and landings to you
It's a simple yet amazing plane but they are leaning into greed like JMB and Bristell is and last I heard very recently the price is 350k now. Others should duplicate the concept, even do it better. It's a simple bird that can be produced cheaply. You could even make a skinny fixed gear version with nearly same performance to keep it simple.
For the cost, it should be powered by the 914T, pockets (and spare cylinder) for your personal O2 system and have a 3 to 5 (MT) bladed propeller.. and I totally agree with the BSR.... The 2 bladed propeller was chosen for that high glide ratio, that is just going to get you into trouble anyway.
Two blade propeller was chosen for speed, because two blades are a bit more efficient. High glade ratio will never get you in trouble, because with flaps down, there is very normal(much lower) glide ratio, however here in Europe, for instance in Czechia , we have small airfield almost every 50km...so in case of high glide ratio you have bigger chance to get to an airfield in case of engine failure. Just my opinion. I agree, price could be lower :) Much lower, so I could afford it :)
@@mirekslechta7161 My suggestions were for sales in the USA, especially for the mountain regions.. one other idea is to increase the wingspan to make this into a motor glider, where the price would be justified.
A 3-blade propeller at most, 5 would be ridiculous, think of propeller drag which the engine must overcome and weight on the nose. 3-blade propellers have a smoother running too compared to a 2-blade propeller. The efficiency loss (very small) is negligible compared to the advantage of smoother running (less vibrations).
Remember that this was designed under the European 600kg microlight rules. As I understand it there are no European microlights which are approved for flight into IMC so I doubt that many (in Europe at least) will be flying over FL100 anyway. So why go for oxygen? Weight is critical to provide a decent range with 2 people. Typically for a 600kg retract you will have about 250kg usable load
@@daveone191 O.K. to see my perspective, I was a Beechcreaft V35TC owner for quite some time (sold to pay for a divorce). It had a big oxygen tank that was a pain in the ass and I deducted that portable was a better option as it gave you a reasonable back-up (yes the valve on that tank had to be serviced). Three blades are better than 2 over 2500m MSL in cruise and usually better in climb, but a detriment in cost and glide... With 14k'MSL (4500m) peaks in Colorado one should be clearing them by 750m on a windy day thus putting you a half hour to 45 minutes in the face mask level on the Denver area to Salt Lake City flights.. also in the USA VFR can be done over clouds (not in Canada) and two seaters are always good for training IFR. Now, go look up the training requirements for the motor-gliders in the USA.. then you'll understand a bit better.

What's the use of all that speed and range from low drag , when you use the plane to go anywhere, you will have to somehow add a cargo pod to take some of your baggage. Adding drag, and the plane is expensive as well.
I do not know about size Risen´s trunk, but VL3 has extreemly small trunk. When I see Risen´s big size fuselage behind cabin, I can not imagine it to be the same. It must be much bigger than VL3´s trunk.
When you show a new retractable plane show the gear retraction cycle complete. Not little tidbit views left for us to figure out finally that the mains fold back into fuse?
@@tropicthndr I wasn't aware of a fully released NTSB report yet. And I believed that the problem was with the new engines they put on it. And that the next one they are building has Delta hawk and they are a lot more reliable. But again I wasn't aware of an official reporting about what caused the accident yet. Do you have a link where I can get that information I'm really curious. But also it does not take away from the fact that that super small plane cost $250,000. That is absolutely absurd.
That is the while purpose of mosaic and the reason why the manufacturer flew it to oshkosh from Italy. They know that mosiac is going to allow this and other aircraft to become light sport aircraft. Manufacturers are preparing new aircraft to be ready when the rule becomes law late spring early summer 2025
False. The Wright brothers did NOT rely on trial and error only. The build their own scale wind tunnel to test wing designs before their first flight and used unmanned and manned gliders.
"Race for the record, rather than passion to fly"... have you really done the homework? Knowing Alberto and some of the team - I can confidently say, these guys don't lack passion for the flying. You don't fly across whole ocean in such a plane, without passion and these guys do it regularly...
It's great to hear your opinion, especially since you know the team. Perhaps you could suggest that they should invest in marketing and PR.I always thoroughly research both the plane and its designer, but the complete lack of information about Alberto, whom you describe as a great pilot and visionary, makes it difficult for me to share the same opinion. If there would be any publications or other press materials that would prove your point and help me conduct my own opinion, I would definitely include that in the video.
I have done several flights with the Risen and objectively it plays in a league of its own!………thanks for the credits in the video!

Do you have a link where I can get that information I'm really curious. But also it does not take away from the fact that that super small plane cost $250,000. That is absolutely absurd.
Good luck leaning that Velocity twin to 5 gallons an hour...
Can you provide a link where I can buy a new velocity twin for 250k?
👍
Not worth the money. What's the load factor?
Is it as fast as a conference call on Skype?
It is not a legal LSA in the US
That is the while purpose of mosaic and the reason why the manufacturer flew it to oshkosh from Italy. They know that mosiac is going to allow this and other aircraft to become light sport aircraft. Manufacturers are preparing new aircraft to be ready when the rule becomes law late spring early summer 2025
base model inthe US . will come to $ 300.000.00.. Just for the Rich and Famous Market..
Wow…
Nice, but pricey.
Just like a supermodel girlfriend?
False. The Wright brothers did NOT rely on trial and error only. The build their own scale wind tunnel to test wing designs before their first flight and used unmanned and manned gliders.
Kinda pricey
"Race for the record, rather than passion to fly"... have you really done the homework?
Knowing Alberto and some of the team - I can confidently say, these guys don't lack passion for the flying. You don't fly across whole ocean in such a plane, without passion and these guys do it regularly...
It's great to hear your opinion, especially since you know the team. Perhaps you could suggest that they should invest in marketing and PR.I always thoroughly research both the plane and its designer, but the complete lack of information about Alberto, whom you describe as a great pilot and visionary, makes it difficult for me to share the same opinion. If there would be any publications or other press materials that would prove your point and help me conduct my own opinion, I would definitely include that in the video.
Bombardier made better aircraft in Canada
rubbish. top people are Engineers
LSA? No. Junk. Turd. Death trap.
I wouldn’t call it junk, just useless without a place to put two fold up bikes to ride into town.
@@tropicthndr Well spoken, O' Great and Wise Europa pilot, or wannabe such!
Too expensive just to be able to fly...
"Too expensive" is usually a reflection of your bank balance. 😊
