I Spoke to Philipp at Sun and Fun. It was one the most enjoyable and informative times I have spent in my many years of attending S&F. He is a gracious and humble guy who took the time to talk to us "nobodies" (my words) a real aviation renaissance man. He answered all our technical questions including his personal backround and explained many design details of this incredible aircraft. I cant say enough about how overjoyed that I was to meet this young man who started with nothing but a high IQ (my words again) and passion for aircraft , without a lot of structured higher education, and became a world class aerobatic pilot, designer of a world class innovative aerobatic aircraft, headed up the FAA and European certification in record time, brought a manufacturing facility up from the ground, produces airplanes, sells, demonstrates, and manages to be a husband and father at the same time. His story and the story of GameBird would make a great book. Thanks again Philipp for taking the time to talk to our group from KTAN Taunton Mass and anytime you are in our area and need support or a place to stay, find Amercan Aero Services at KTAN located in south eastern part of Massachusetts and ask for Mike or Damian .
Привет Андрей,наконец то нашёл тебя! Шикардосная машинка,очень шикарные перформанс у неё! 515К$ очень не дёшево,можно Циррус с рук купить за эти деньги (ну чуть дороже конечно),но Цессну точно!!))))
Так тримати! Дуже цікаві відео коли не лише сам готовий літак показано, а й закулісу його народження і виробництва, так і спідню як воно все влаштовано і організовано. За відео з Шарк теж лайк:) Привіт з України:) Greets from Ukraine! Thanks for videos filled with very interesting and important details, not just image of an airplane. Keep on going! Love will win!:)
I literally took flight lesson from Philipp himself in GB1 which literally opened my eyes to a whole new world. Philipp is really cool guy but that does not change the fact GB1, based on XtremeAir XA42, is an extreme aircraft that is much more difficult to fly than Extra or Pitts with its extreme pitch sensitivity and high landing speed (90kt+ required in final vs 75kt of an Extra). The highly leaned back (not adjustable) seat backrest is entirely optimized for G tolerance, not everyday comfort and hard to get used to. A weakness of GB1 is that it uses the very light duty Lang tailwheel whose tire is only half as wide of those found in Extra or Su26/29, and I personally know two GB1 owners who lost tailwheel tire when rolling out after landing. It therefore demands wheel landing to reduce tailwheel wear which makes the landing even more difficult. Also there is always concerns of safety given the in-flight breakup of similar full CFRP airplanes like MX and Giles.
Thanks for your comment, very interesting. I didn’t know about tail wheel but from my point of view, piloting is almost the same as Extra. Maybe I just had the first impression. Need to fly again))
Certainly, aerobatic monoplanes are all very different from the rest of airplanes and share many characteristics. But did it feel the same as a regular Extra 300L or an Extra 330SC? I ended up buying a used Extra 200 after training for about 20h in GB1 and they were not satisfied with me. I mastered landing of my Extra 200 after just a few go arounds (without any instructors) and now flies it every week. Obviously GB1 has more performance and I miss that, and I do feel a little pissed off that they raised its price from $400k to $600k+ just the last 2 years.
It is amazing. It would be great to try the same, but I think It will kill me probably =) By the way, your English is very good. I would happy if you proceed to release videos in English further.
Companies that try to control ALL of the service of their products by using proprietary hardware where jellybean parts would work just as well absolutely baffle me. Trapping customers into service instead of selling a quality product is such a bottom tier move. Really appreciate the use of standard parts.
What a beautiful peace of workmanship from top to bottom.
What an amazing piece of equipment.

You are right! this is great story of his success
Gamebird is a great name. Never change. I love it.
It’s pretty awesome to see such a machine being built here in NWA
Beautiful
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time
I flew in one today - absolutely incredible plane!
absolutely beautiful airplane. Almost seems like a sleek UFO. Out of this world!
So cool. Thanks for the tour.
Welcome!
Loved this video !!!!!!
Very, very Cool ! Best job and best plane !👍
Очень круто 👍🙂
Отличная идея отклониться от маршрута.....👍👍👍
These are master builders/engineers indeed! I have watched this multiple times and always find new interesting details!
Incredibly well run shop. The part bins, travelers, all of it. Awesome facility and process.
я никаким боком к авиации, но улыбка удовольствия с моего лица не сползала до конца видео. Спасибо

Отличная идея - показывать субтитры чуть ранее фразы на английском. Прочитав по- русски, потом лучше запоминаются фразы на английском👍
Small correction. I think you meant to put Bentonville Arkansas, not Arizona.
Correct
I miss the engine sound,it would have been better to listen to it during the aerobatic flying.

отичный выпуск, мне только немного не хватило радио во время пилотажа.

Спасибо!
Уау.... Супер! Я только начал смотреть, уже под впечатлением. Досмотрю обязательно, принепременно! После работы. С-182 ждёт...😄
$US515,000. Imagine the quality of pilot obtained if they were trained on the Game Bird from the beginning!
In my personal opinion, all pilots must take at least a few aerobatic lessons and real stall/spin recovery and UPRT. It will make them much safer.
Excellent video I felt as if I was on the tour.
thanks!
I ordered one!@@About_Aviation
@@robinkoenig hopefully you mentioned to Phillip due to my video?)))
@@About_Aviation Absolutely! I mentioned your video when chatting with him on the phone.
@@robinkoenig let me call him to get my commission 😂😂😂
Это как ребёнку дать ещё одну машинку, только более новую и круче

Шикарний літак, шикарний Філіп. Дякую за працю! Зауваження: оператор дуже швидко рухає камерой, завод роздивитися неможливо. Вдачи каналу.
6 in Chile refers to The Halcones … Chilean Air Force demonstration team.
It is amazing. It would be great to try the same, but I think It will kill me probably =) By the way, your English is very good. I would happy if you proceed to release videos in English further.
👍👍👍
О, отличный самолёт похож на наш а-41
This airplane has a cuty face 18:28 😮
Heard they have cracking issues at the tail section....nice birds but cracked tails is death.
What is its endurance with full tank for cross country?
Phillip said 5 hrs, which is almost 1000 miles.
Wow wow it looked Effortless to fly

Ok, main question - extra or GB1?
The main answer is - price. If Extra cheaper (now NG model is cheaper than GB1) - than Extra. If GB1 was cheaper 50-100K - GB1.
So performance-wise and emotionaly you likeed GB1 better, right?
@@Alex_OlK Did I mentioned that? I don't think so) this is good airplane. similar to Extra by feelings but I'm not sure it's "better")
I’d go Gamebird … reminds me of the Giles suited for a 6cyl
А почему не слышно было рева самолёта?? Или специально замьютили?
Особенность интеркома в этом самолете. Очень тихий
this is not Arizona USA
This is a British design, pity they didn’t mention it.
360 cameras suck
Interesting but the quality of the video was awful. Need to take a step back and not move around so much.
